Dreadful idea.
Wagging the dog or a deliberate action for disaster.
After ratting out Israel’s ‘secret’ missile base location, Obama arms .... Jordan.
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Hmmm, I don’t see the conflict increasing. It seems like Assad is winning with Iranian shock-troops and Hezbollah thugs. The rebels are also now fighting amongst themselves. My prediction is Assad remains in power, with a much smaller population to control.
Sure, we’ll probably try him for war crimes in absentia, but that’s just a formality. Omar Al Bashir uses such conviction notices for his litter box.
What could go wrong ????
Assad appears to be winning over the looting banksters.
“A drill” my big toe
The King of Jordan has been a good friend to America. Hopefully this conflict doesn’t destabilize him.
The regimen thus far in the obama administration has been to do the exact opposite of what every previous US leader would have done..
Destabilization seems to be the goal on every front.

I predict a full regional war with Israel sometime in 2014. We’ll (US) be involved in a limited capacity but Israel will have to go full bore as hasn’t been seen since ‘73.
It is dreadful, and very provoking to Russia. It comes just after the demand that Russia not send missiles to Syria, because that would endanger the security of the region.
Looks like the Saudi Army stationed in Jordan is getting some more air cap.
Want to lay bet that stuff never returns to the US?
Don't be negative! The missilles might fall into the wrong hands, and come flying right back at you.

The rebels in Libya were starting to lose ground against Gaddafi. Then NATO stepped in. Of course in Libya the primary goal was to turn the oil back on but still a comparison can be made.
