I've Been Thinking:
Yesterday's French Le Figaro had a very important piece quoting a European defense expert who says that Jordan will be stationing 4 Patriot anti-missile batteries on the border with Syria near to Israel.
The Patriots were purchased from Germany.
The missiles are an obvious defense against Syria. They are also very good for Israel. Any Syrian aircraft attempting to enter Jordan in order to cross into Israel will be locked on and shot.
Countries in the region are starting to see Syria as a real threat to regional stability. That means that they must defend themselves from Syria. It also means that Israel be safer because of it. The irony is not lost.For eleven months the border between Syria and Jordan has been quiet and simple to traverse. That was then, now, everything has changed.
