#5 ohhh..lookie..a new battle front.

Just my HO, but the dead Sparky Zarky is making a tactical error. But, hey. It's not like me to complain if this becomes a Muslim on Muslim conflict. Because, if you get right down to it, that's what this really is.

#6 The chess analogy is more than amusing. The war is among a series of moves in a game of three-dimensional chess with multiple players on each side and one is not sure which side is which, in which the pieces can move by themselves, in which a rook can masquerade as a pawn. To listen to Tinseltown clowns or the MSM, one would think this is a game of Go-Fish. To throw the words back at one particularly irksome perpetrator, "Honey, this ain't no rock and roll show."

#7 iirc Jordan does have American made equipment, so technically it could be the movement of US manufactured equipment. However, as to ownership, it might just be Jordanian equipment. Between Lebanon, Israel, Jordan, and Iraq, the Syrians certainly know how to make friends and neighbors. The adage 'when you're in a hole, quit digging' doesn't translate obviously.

#9 All this conflict in the ME reminds me not of chess, but of a card game we used to play as kids, called "Shit on your Neighbor." In that game, cheating was legal, you formed temporary alliances to dump on someone that was getting too far ahead, but the bottom line was that you were looking out for yourself. I sure don't remember how the rules went....heh.
