[quote:Anonymous Coward 44306049:MV8yMzExMzA0XzM5Mzc5MjU5XzQ3RUQwMjc0] Isn't the US going to leave 2/3 of their main battle tanks behind in Afganistan? Not sure where I read that but if it's true that's massive. The US will no longer be one of the world's largest tank owners, Syria will have more tanks than the states if it's true. [/quote]
Original Message
The U.S. retreat from Iraq and its handoff policy on Syria and Iran are creating a security vacuum that regional powers are already filling. Last month IHS Jane's, Britain's famed defense and intelligence firm, announced that it had spotted a missile base in the heart of Saudi Arabia. Designed to launch Chinese-made DF-3 missiles, the base targets both Iran and Israel.
