Re: American tanks heading toward Syrian border
and another from a link on that feed

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.
 Quoting: Widespread Franklin


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.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 45799863


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
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 45684487


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.

.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 25264053


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.

Including a Tank battalion? 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.

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.

RE last comment only escape - read last night Saudis gave shedload of money to Egypt military junta when the MB & Morsi deposed - 12 billion or something - Saudi & UAE states loathe and detest MB since forever, because MB might upset their own applecart. Masses of stuff on Aljazeera et al, huge body of opinion in Arab media that Saudis are behind the Egyptian coup. So where's the escape ????

Re: American tanks heading toward Syrian border
The prevailing Western strategy of warfare doesn't start with tanks. Tanks come in to mop up - unless they just want a big stupid dog and pony show display.

If they're serious it will start with massive airstrikes on selected targets.
