Large US Marine force lands in Aqaba
to deploy on Jordanian-Syrian border

DEBKAfile Exclusive Report

June 5, 2013

 
US Marines landing in Aqaba

A large American military force disembarked Tuesday, June 4, at the southern Jordanian port of Aqaba - ready for deployment on the kingdom's Syrian border, debkafile's exclusive military sources report. The force made its way north along the Aqaba-Jerash-Ajilon mountain road bisecting Jordan from south to north, under heavy Jordanian military escort.

Our sources disclose that this American force numbers 1,000 troops, the largest to land in Jordan since the Syrian civil war erupted in March 2012. They are members of the 24th Marine Expeditionary Force carried aboard the USS Kearsage amphibious assault ship, which has been anchored off neighboring Israeli Eilat since mid-May. Upon landing, the marines took to the road in a convoy of armored vehicles including Hummers.

Washington and Amman have imposed a blackout on their arrival. The Pentagon has only let it be known that the annual joint US-Jordanian ?Eager Lion 2013? military exercise is due to begin later in June and last two months, with the participation of US F-16 fighter jets and Patriot missile defense systems.

According to our US sources, the arrival of the US force in Jordan was not directly related to the regular exercise but decided on at an emergency meeting at the Pentagon on May 31, which was attended by top military and civilian Defense Department officials. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, who is away from Washington, took part by video conference.

The meeting decided that the military situation evolving in Syria and threats it posed to Jordan including widening evidence of chemical weapons use in Syria - were urgent enough to warrant the dispatch of extra American military strength to Jordan, over and above the contingents participating in the joint exercise. The Israeli Air Force will provide air cover for the force until the F-16 jets are in place for the drill.

The US Central Command spokesman Lt. Col. T.G. Taylor in a statement to the US media said only: "In order to enhance the defensive posture and capacity of Jordan, some of these assets may remain beyond the exercise at the request of the government of Jordan."

That request, according to our sources, was for the US to leave behind when the exercise ended and the troops departed - not just some of the weapons systems but all of the equipment which arrived with the marines Wednesday, as well as the F-16 fighters and Patriot missiles.

There is no official word about Washington's response to this request. However, the Obama administration is not expected to turn it down.

The US is committed to protecting both Jordan and Israel. Jordan has something like one recent refugee for every two Jordanians.

CU, while you certainly can use any source you heart desires, I have to ask, why do you use debkaphile? They're a bit alarmist aren't they?

BSB

[Xavier_Onassis]

CU likes Debkafiles!

He likes to put an exclamation point after every post!

Debkafiles has been predicting an Israeli attack for years!

CU does not know that he is the only being on the planet that takes debkafiles seriously!

[BSB]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Christians4LessGvt]

I have to ask, why do you use debkaphile? They're a bit alarmist aren't they? BSB

BSB...honestly "alarmist" compared to what?
The mainstream media that frequently pretends the "sky is falling"
whether it is cuts to budget increases will mean children may starve,
or the elderly won't be cared for, or so called global warming is to blame
for tornadoes in Oklahoma, or weather scares that never happen?
Remember how we heard sequestration may cause a disaster?

I like Debka because in many cases they are "ahead of the pack".
One can read something in Debka that may not appear in mainstream
headlines until several days later...if at all.

Of course Debka doesn't always get it right...but what media outlet does?
Dan Rather basically the Godfather of news had to resign for not getting it right.
Countless other mainstream media outlets have been shown to publish inaccuracies.

Some may say "Debka has an agenda"....but then deny NBC has one!
Does The Nation, Mother Jones, and Harper's Magazine not have an agenda too?
Does the Huffington Post, Slate, Salon, NY Times not have an agenda either?...lol
Those in denial seem oblivious that most Washington bureau chiefs are liberals
and report the news in a way many times favorable to their own views.

I dont think Debka is perfect, they are only one of many sources I use,
but they tend to break stories on topics I enjoy following.....
I realize sometimes when you are on the front lines of breaking stories....
that they dont always work out,
but I just see that as the price of seeing breaking info before
anyone else releases it.....sure you could wait for stuff to come
out in Readers Digest and be pretty sure it's accurate, but
hell I dont wanna wait around, I'll take the good with the bad to be early.

But again....I am not trying to convince anybody of anything,
You asked...I answered.
someone doesnt like Debka...good for them!....I dont like NBC.
whatever works....2EachHisOwn.

[BSB]

Nice try. And isn't it a rather strange allegiance for an American to have?

Debkafiles specializes in predicting crap that never happens. It's like WND.  It is not a choice between NBC and  fly by night Israeli propaganda mill, by the way.

   I think it is reasonable to doubt the news , even if it is from several sorces and from usually reliable sorces.

    In reguards to troop movements , I especially doubt that accuracy is availible to the public, there is a lot of time devoted to hiding troop and ship location from the public because what the public knows the enemy also knows.

     If all troop movement and ship locations were open to the public all of the time , I would think it tragic.

Debkafiles specializes in predicting crap that never happens.

Kind of like so called "Global Warming"?
Oh wait a minute...since that was bullshit....
lets change the name to "climate change"
so we can try to control people

BTW....name something and provide a url where "Debka" ever predicted something would happen?
Debka reporting what people say is not Debka making the conclusion.
Anymore than if OJ tells CNN he's innocent....thats not CNN saying OJ is innocent.

It is not a choice between NBC and  fly by night Israeli propaganda mill, by the way.

Yes it is a choice between bullshitters like NBC....a leftist propoganda mill....
and many other sources that may include Debka.

[Xavier_Onassis]

The best source for what is going on in Syria is probably either the BBC or Al Jazeera. It sure as hell is not debkafiles. No one with a brain takes debkafiles seriously, or you either, because you always quote them.

[Christians4LessGvt]

The best source for what is going on in Syria is probably either the BBC or Al Jazeera.

It depends what one wants.
Actually YouTube provides unequaled value in a certain niche.
Al Jazeera (up until recently owned by the government of Qatar) is one source of many.

It sure as hell is not debkafiles.

Debka is one source and perspective about Syria and the world.....one of many.
Debka is biased as are most media outlets.

No one with a brain takes debkafiles seriously

Funny to watch people's minds work ....
I say 2EachHisOwn,
but XO has control freak disease..."it's my way or the highway"
unless it's XO's way....it's "brainless".
Typical liberal arrogance....
Liberals hate 2EachHisOwn!

[BSB]

"Typical liberal arrogance....
Liberals hate 2EachHisOwn!"

Well, I have some liberal tendencies and I said that you can use any source your heart desires. Everyone has the right, indeed the responsibility, to question sources. And everyone has the right to hold an opinion about a source, and to express that opinion. You don't like NBC as a source. That's fine. I wouldn't know, I don't watch them or any of the other original broadcasting companies. Their news departments appear to be meaningful only as a comment on our cultural whereabouts. Debka, from my perspective, appears to be meaningful only to those who work for it. Those are my opinions, you have yours, and xo has his. XO's opinions aren't any more arrogant then mine, or yours.

BSB

Well, I have some liberal tendencies and I said that you can use any source your heart desires.

Oh sure....but you are not at all a typical liberal BSB...
in fact you are not in most ways a Leftist.
I could even see you voting for a Republican in a rare case....
And I bet you have voted Republican in the past.
XO wouldn't vote for a Republican under any circumstances.
You have the ability for honest disagreement.
You are capable of giving a Republican credit.
Just like I have given Obama and Bill Clinton credit.
XO would not be able to give President Bush credit had he cured cancer.

Everyone has the right, indeed the responsibility, to question sources. And everyone has the right to hold an opinion about a source, and to express that opinion.

True....but it is also a way to "cop-out" of responding to information.
If something is posted from an NBC source, I want to respond to the facts stated
and not just say "well thats NBC for ya". It's the lazy way to avoid dealing with the data.

Debka, from my perspective, appears to be meaningful only to those who work for it.

Well that's obviously a silly statement. I dont have their circulation data, but they have advertisers and a world-wide audience and a subscription service that costs hundreds dollars a year...and Debka is often quoted as a source in many publications like the WashintonPost, ect....so Debka's info is meaningful well beyond its employees.

Debka stats:

XO's opinions aren't any more arrogant then mine, or yours.

"My way or the highway" is certainly more arrogant than "2EachHisOwn".
Not being able to give credit to an opponent,
is more arrogant than being able to kudo an opponent.
Liberalism at it's core is more arrogant than conservativism.
laissez faire....allows more 2EachHisOwn
liberalism wants more gvt interference to control people and their actions,

[BSB]

"Liberalism at it's core is more arrogant than conservatism....allows more 2EachHisOwn"

Oh bullshit. 2EachHisOwn like what? Denying a women the right to have an abortion? Denying gays the right to marry, or join the Boy Scouts?
