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.
“A drill” my big toe

Do not forget that southern Jordan is a US Economic Zone with the same status of Guam. We own it. It is our primary landing pad for the Middle East and critical to the US war effort.

This drill will be conducted in two weeks. The same time as the Iranian election which might well have protests put down very violently as in 2009.
