I know this post will unleash Anti-Blogger wrath but here goes anyway...
A blogger with contacts in Jordan is reporting that hundreds of foreign military groups, including American forces, are moving into the region around Jordans Al-Mafraq military base in north Jordan, about 5-10 km from the border with Syria. These include forces that are being diverted from Iraq, as the U.S. completes its final withdrawal from Iraq.
This is the first time that U.S. boots have hit the ground directly opposite the army of Syrias president Bashar al-Assad. Jordans King Abdullah II has approved this deployment because of Assads threats to burn the whole region, with Jordan being a particularly vulnerable target of al-Assads wrath.
