Riyad al-Asaad, commander of the CIA backed Free Syrian Army (FSA), announced on Saturday that Syria's main rebel group is moving its command centre from the Turkish border into Syria itself in preparation for an attack on Damascus.
The CIA has been funneling weapons to the FSA for several weeks now in preparation for the assault by way of intermediaries including Syria's Muslim Brotherhood and is providing detailed intelligence regarding Syrian army positions and troop movements.
One extremely unpredictable element in this equation is whether Iran, Syria's closest ally will intervene to defend Damascus.

Last Thursday Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov warned Israel and other nations not to attack Iran over its nuclear program.
"We warn those who are no strangers to military solutions ... that this would be harmful, literally disastrous for regional stability and would set off deep shocks in the security and economic spheres that would reverberate far beyond the boundaries of the Middle East region,"
