#2 OOOOPPSIES, forgot DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > US SPECIAL FORCES TRAINING SYRIAN REBELS FOR ONE MONTH IN JORDAN.

Iff Reports about Baby Assad winning or prevailing agz the Rebs are true, then US-Allied SPECFORS, etal. may had already lost the "Battle for Syria", + failed in the Bammer goal of removing Assad from power, WIDOUT ANY JORDAN-BASED SYRIAN REBEL ENTERING THE FRAY = "WIDOUT SHOT BEING FIRED".

[CHINA-VS-JAPAN-VS-DEBT/SEQUESTER-RIDDEN-USA here].

The good news is that, in exchange for losing 1/2 of the Pacific + ME?, US Debt + Deficit levels will once again be exponentially expanded to new heights so that US Dems will be able to give US Taxpayers = Voters a $$$ rebate for the 2014-2016 Elex.

MAKING THE US ECON GROSSLY WEAKER WHILE GIVING US CONSUMERS $$$ TO SHOP SO THAT THEY WILL VOTE DEMOCRAT IN 2014 + 2016???

NATIONAL REGRESSIONISM IS STRENGTH, MILPOL DEFEAT IS MILPOL VICTORY, CONSUMER GIFT IS AN ELECTION BRIBE.

But I digress ...

#3 Hezbollah, Syrian rebels clash on Lebanese soil
Syrian rebels fought with gunmen from Lebanon's Hezbollah militia in a deadly clash on Lebanese soil overnight, a security official and local media said Sunday, in the latest sign Syria's civil war is spilling over the country's borders.

It was the worst clash on Lebanese territory since the outbreak of the conflict more than two years ago.

Hezbollah and Syria's rebels fight on opposite sides inside Syria, and tensions between them have risen sharply since the Lebanese militia stepped up its armed support for President Bashar Assad's regime last month.

Rebel fighters have threatened to attack Hezbollah bases in Lebanon, and on Saturday 18 rockets and mortar rounds hit Lebanon's eastern Baalbek region, a Hezbollah stronghold.

In the night from Saturday to Sunday, Hezbollah apparently encircled and ambushed a group of Syrian rebels and allied Lebanese fighters whom they suspected of rocketing Baalbek a day earlier, said the Lebanese security official. He spoke on condition of anonymity in line with regulations and because the details were not yet clear.

He said a Hezbollah fighter and several rebels were killed in the clashes in a remote area between Baalbek and the Syrian border.
