The Pentagon has announced that is is sending an additional 200 troops, mostly command and logistics experts, to Jordan to help prepare the Jordanian government for a potential military intervention in Syria’s ongoing civil war.
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel says the deployment is aimed at readying for a possible move against Syria’s chemical weapons, adding that the Pentagon is constantly updating its preparations in the event they are ordered to attack Syria.
At the same time, Hagel cautioned Congress that “you’d better be damned sure” that a war is what they want, noting that even imposing a no-fly zone or a humanitarian corridor would leave the US stuck in Syria until the end.
Indications today are that the new troops will primarily be training Jordan’s own military for a possible run at Syria’s chemical arsenal, but of course the bulk of the US troops in Jordan at the moment are deployed along the Syrian border, operating a training camp for the rebel Free Syrian Army (FSA)
Ronald Reagan wanted for few hundred us troops stationed in Lebanon…, then it was time for few hundred troops in Saudi Arabia.., and now this.., at the same time every other anti imperialism forces are gearing up for a very long lasting war in Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey and Syria.., having this in mind…, before next presidential election Obama needs to clarify his foreign policy defeat regarding Syria…, to those who asked for a favor starting from Libya then Syria.., then Iran and war with china and etc. by now he nor the democratic party got nothing to prove to US vulture capitalism.., the tyrants of persian gulf that they are worthy of having the next presidential election registered under their name.., so this action is hurry hurry action for the Democratic Party to say we done something but we couldn't deliver it because the people resistance in middle east stopped us. USA needs to give up on Paul Wolfowitz murderos warmongering idea, the USA Democratic Party needs to come up with kind of democracy from people and by the people for democracy to function for the people..,
Intervention would be terrible, terrible mistake. Hagel should be counseling more than caution, but at least is something for now.
you mean military intervention? the US started this. In 2008, Dennis Ross met with a whole bunch of "oppositions' including representatives from the AEI, Shortly thereafter, US funded Baraada TV based in London to broadcast anti-Assad propaganda. This is what they do all over the world. Sick. They (neocons behind th freaking plans) are responsible for every single death in the region.
{At least five people have been killed in two strikes carried out by US assassination drones near the Yemeni capital Sana’a.}
The war criminals in Washington killed more innocent people while they were rubbing their behinds while having coffee. The Boston bombing is a FALSE FLAG to bring gullible people on board and to silent opposition to OBAMA DRONE KILLING to mobolize the public for another dumb policy sending troops to kill more innocent people in Syria and beyond. OBAMA IS A WAR CRIMINAL AND a COWARD WHO IS SITTING AT THE HS PUSHING THE BUTTON TO KILL. ICC, must arrest him now. But ICC is the west's tool for regime change where is sitting idle against the real war criminals like Obama, Tony Blair, Bush, Clinton, cheney, Rumsfeld, Nathenyahu but goes after the victims of US imperalism and Zionism like Al Bashir, Gaddafi and Assad. We spit at ICC and its lawyers who are at the service of the war criminals. Down with ICC
This is THE BIG STORY. Why are people's warning bells not going off? The War Party always looking for a conflict to get in on. This one Obama style. They are going through the Kingdom of Jordan, who has been a defacto supporter of Israel* even before the 1973 October/Yon Kipper War. Hezbollah is next door in Lebanon. Israel occupied Lebanon for years. The congress of the US, as Mr Raimondo has said, "Its always about Israel". Neoconservatives – Weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Syria: securing chemical weapons. Have we not seen this script before. Does the Pentagon really think they can pull this off, this is not Qaddafi's Libya. There are now American troops on the ground in this area. The first time since Reagan put US forces in Lebanon in the mid 1980s. What PART OF DIRECT U.S. INTERVENTION are we not understanding?
