US starts military-build along Iraqâs border with Syria
The United States has apparently began a major military build-up along Iraq's western borders with Syria, the daily Bild cited confidential remarks by an unidentified US general. New American troop contingents and heavy military hardware, including A-10 fighter planes, M1 'Abrams' tanks, 'Apache' combat helicopters and massive bomb arsenals, have been secretly deployed in the Iraqi town of Ar-Rutbah."Hi, we're the 4th ID. We'd like to talk to you about the Neighborhood Watch Program." Washington has repeatedly threatened Damascus over the past days for allegedly aiding the deposed Iraqi regime of Saddam Hussein. Syria has dismissed the American charges. "Lies, all lies." Posted by: Steve 2003-04-14 |
