Reports are emerging over the past several days of an imminent new rebel offensive against Assad government positions in southern Syria. The offensive is coming out of Jordan, where the US is training and bankrolling rebel fighters.
The push is coming largely at the behest of the US and Saudi governments, which envision the establishment of a “southern front” of the war driven by more moderate rebels as a counterpoint to al-Qaeda’s dominance of the rebel-held north.
The Obama Administration appears to be hoping that a more moderate wing of the rebellion could be parlayed into direct US military involvement in Syria, and the president is still stinging after failing to sell the war to the American public last year.
The new offensive will be called Geneva Horan, and in addition to the immediate Jordan frontier, the rebels are also expected to focus on the frontier with Israel.

The reason for Saudis asking for their jihadist to leave Syria is for their “better kind” of Saudis terrorist, trained by Americans to enter Syria. That alone shows the fact that USG is about Saudis interests in Middle East and Saudis are about USG interests all over the world, is a matter of cooperation between monarchism-conservatism in Europe, tyrant regimes in Middle East and falsified democracy presented by USG. Syria is and started as proxy war against Iraq and Iran, it started to expend the Saudis religious territory and political influence, where in Iraq, for now, Sunni Muslim terrorists that are financed by Saudis and more of UAE monarchs, have managed to destabilized Iraq to some point. By wining the war, both Syria and Iraq, if such thing happens, the very same terrorism and the Iranian terrorist organization MeK will start their terrorist acts in Iran. But for now the Saudis and in general UAE hand in hand with USG-EU in continues with Paul Wolfowitz idea have managed to destabilize part of Syria and Iraq, if such offensive is not done by US special forces-military personnel stationed in Jordan and in Turkey, these new form of “rebel-terrorists” will face the same destiny as rest of other paid Saudis and in general UAE mercenaries in Syria. Here there are two matters that has been proven to be true, although Jason Ditz as always, painting the Syrian war as a civil war, Syrian war is a proxy war, and the war is about expending Saudis religious territory which the idea is from the: “enemy of my enemy is my friend” in cooperation by Saudis with Israel Zionism to safeguard Israel as a Jewish state. Look Jason: if the friends of Palestinians are no longer there, what is left of Palestinians are going to be forced to accept Israel as a Jewish state, which means there won’t be any Palestinians state, which is the reason for USG and EU delaying on their commitment to peace, rest of what is said by Kerry or Obama or EU governing body about Palestine is just empty words, hallow, zero, nothing but talks.
Maybe the Jordanians just want to feed the refugees they've been flooded with into the sausage machine?

AIPAC,and the International bankers just will not give up. The will use any pretext,to press for more war. Now we are all seeing how EVERY war,these people have pushed,or write the history of,is pure fiction. When will the world wake up?
What are we doing in this mess?
How can they so easily and so plainly talk about interferring in another country's affairs and start wars killing other people and not be ASHAMED?????? What is this, and where is the outcry?
