In Sunni-dominated nations, the sectarian nature of the Syrian Civil War has meant almost universal endorsement of the Sunni rebels. This is not the case in Jordan, however, where top officials in the Hashemite Kingdom are increasingly disquieted by the Salafist nature of the rebellion.
Officials are publicly warning against continuing to send advanced weapons to the Syrian rebels, saying that the region risks becoming a “black hole that sucks Jihadists from around the world,” and fearing that they won’t stop with Syria.
Indeed, rebel leaders have been openly talking about the expansion of the war beyond Syria, with many hoping to move on to Israel next. Jordanian officials say their nation could also be targeted.
With the GCC arming the rebels for months now, and NATO nations looking to get in on the arms shipments as well, the concern is very real that what may remain in post-war Syria is a bunch of heavily armed rebels with a lot of axes to grind across the region.
Jordan STFU. You are enabling the terrorists into Syria and even Western trainers.
jordan has existed throughout since its foundation through treason to its bretherns in arab world. its kings contiously changed colors as they fear rapidly changing event around them. one consistency. a loyal agent to the western intelligence, namely UK & US. they have helped train, fund, sneak fighters into syria and jordanian jihadists (with jordan security branches turning blinde eye) have entered syria to establish islamist IMARAH. now that the king felt the true intention of this so called scam of arab spring, he has awakaned and calling for political resolution in syria and stop arming jihadists. too late abdullah. get ready for next chapter . establishing federation with west bank and settling palatinians in it. THAT IS THE FOCUS. if you disgreeable, moslim brother hood demonstrations will be filling your streets, dethroning youy, and solution put into action.
