Sources: Jordan drill in preparation for Syria conflict
A joint military exercise scheduled to take place in Jordan next week is aimed among other things at readying forces for a possible intervention in Syria, Western officials told Ynet on Tuesday.
More than 15,000 soldiers from 18 different countries are set to take part in "Eager Lion 2013."
The drill will include battlefield, logistics and humanitarian exercises for troops from Britain, Bahrain, Canada, Czech Republic, Lebanon, Pakistan, Poland, Qatar, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Yemen.
Israel will not take part in the drill but will continue its "red line" policy against arms shipments to Hezbollah.
According to one western official, forces will remain on the ground after the drill "in case the need will arise to intervene in Syria."
The maneuvers are set to run for two weeks in the Jordanian army's training fields, schools and centers.
"Without a doubt this year's drill will prepare for a possible conflict with Syria," a Jordanian official told Ynet. "Jordan must prepare for any abnormal development on this front."
Jordan fears that Syria's disintegration could threaten stability in the Hashemite Kingdom.
Both Jerusalem and Amman fear that the hundreds of al-Qaeda and Global Jihad operatives will take over the Syria-Jordan-Israel tri-border area.
Meanwhile, the White House has asked the Pentagon to draw up plans for a no-fly zone inside Syria that would be enforced by the US and other countries such as France and Britain The Daily Beast reported |

Did you read the article? Is was hezbollah's own TV channel that sent text message that stated it, not the syrians or assad, and all the intelligence bureaus state that's it's "weeks away" at best, if not "sometime this year".
Good news...
Reinforcements arrive for the rebels:

Those Arabs countries are the same ones funding and arming the so called "opposition" which consists of Al Qaeda fighters.. Those Arab countries could care less about freedom or Democracy inside Syria. Look at how they treat their own people when they try to protest against the regimes. Point is we are being forced into yet another invasion and this time the reason behind is that the Syrian leader is evil and that he must be stopped. Just like how Saddam had WMD's etc. This war is no longer is not longer about the Syrian people.It is about a few super powers flexing their muscles at the cost of the Syrian people.. |

| Except the Syrian leader actually IS evil, and is guilty of countless war crimes. |

| This will probably sound perverted, but there is some really awesome footage coming out of this conflict. Stuff you really don't get a chance to see (low level attack runs by Russian built aircraft, etc). |

As I said yes that is part of it but not the whole picture. Everyone is always so fast to go in and get rid of the dedicators but there is never any plans in place after the regime is gone and you are faced with chaos and lawlessness. Look at Iraq and Libya for example. You have people killing each other even today. |

| True, but it's not state sanctioned killing. It's not a government using chemical weapons against its own people. Which is worse I guess is a matter of opinion. |

| Have you seen the video of one of the rebel soldier eating the dead Syrian soldier's heart? Is that the type of people they want to replace the current regime with? How is that good for the Syrian people?? The place will undoubtedly turn into a cluster even more once Assad is gone. |

One instance of a guy eating a heart shown. Hundreds of instances of random bombings.
Like I said man, never before seen footage really. Mig-23s rolling in with thermobaric weapons on towns. 220mm rocket barrages. Some crazy ass .
It is a civil war now, both sides have a lot to blame, but ultimately Assad and his family have a history of repression and massacre dating back decades, so this really isn't that hard to pick someone to back. Iran and Russia are going to come out the losers, but oh well, they need to figure out how to increase their sphere of influence in less easily destroyed ways. |

Indeed there is no doubt that Assad and his family have a history of repression in that country but lets also face that fact that the so called oppositions are bunch of Wahabi extremists and freedom and Democracy is not in their minds at all. Once Assad is gone those same people will turn against the west. Has anyone even talked about the aftermath of Assad? Who will take over? The Rebels? Is that really the better choice for the Syrian people? Will find out it I guess. |
