Anonymous Coward User ID: 12990456 ![]() 08/27/2013 04:29 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | and another from a link on that feed Quoting: Widespread Franklin Radio Free Syria #Jordan, 27-08-2013, approximately 2:30 a.m.: A large convoy of American tanks and other US military vehicles is reportedly headed towards the Jordanian-Syrian border from the Jordanian town of Ramtha, with a large number of American troops and numerous high-ranking US military officers reportedly among the military personnel. Did they sneak some battalions in while nobody was looking? Because the last count was ~700 US troops in Jordan. That's peanuts to what Assad has on the ground. It's possible they moved some from Afganistan and any that may have been in Iraq there may have been some in Saudi and Kuwait. US soldier's are everywhere in the middle east but what make's me suspect this may be false reporting are the Tank battalions, you cant move that kind of hardware from one place to another without someone reporting on it. If these "Tanks" came from the US then it would have been reported I'm sure. Even if they came from the far east someone would have reported it. |

Why would they have "high-ranking US Military officers" on the front line in a volatile environment like that on the front line? I'm sorry but to me that doesn't really sound plausible as a general rule, they don't like General Officers being up on the front lines. their training and experience are far to valuable to risk, where only "grunts" should be. . This true to an extent but I have seen Generals very near the front before but not actually "on" the front lines. Saw a General when we were in the former Yugoslavia in the early 90's wandering about like he was on a Sunday fucking stroll not 1 mile from where the Serbs were lobbing shells but that the closest I have seen one get to a front line. |

Now thats forward planning right there, not cheap to keep those things in top condition in a place like Jordan. Just goes to show that what we are seeing now from the US and Britain is just window dressing and this has been in the pipe line for a while. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 12990456 ![]() 08/27/2013 05:56 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | You guys keep talking about TANKS HEADING TOWARDS SYRIA like it's real. Do you live solely on the internet or GLP? Everything will be done from aircraft carriers. Even Obama is not THAT stupid. You're kind of depressing me with stupidity. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 45811490 Lol US assets are in Jordan dumbass it would make sense to move them closer to the Syrian border A) to send a message and B) to be prepared for any eventuality. No one said they were going to roll over the border like Custer attacking Indians on the Washita. Do some research and read the links here or at least use google for fucks sake. |
