#2 Syria says it has deployed a military division of 7,000 soldiers along its border with Iraq and established a four-meter high sand barrier along the border with monitoring outposts every 400 meters or three kilometers.

400 to 3000 meters ya say? 7:1 range. Awful lot of things can go on between outposts spaced 3000 meters apart.

#4 Poor Assad. Just as his four agents have been tossed in the can for trial, he has to try to appear useful to us. Too little, too late. *sniff*

#5 established a four-meter high sand barrier along the border I used to play on alot larger dunes than that. Put some electric fences or trip lines up in a few places that would inform us of their positions, and surprise them as well heh. Carry over some ideas to our southern border stateside too.

#6 So they took 70 guys out of jail, bussed them out to the border, re-arrested them, and brought them back? Nah, I'm being cynical. Maybe they are doing something useful. Are they offering to actually coordinate with the other side?
