Yesterday, Syria began a campaign to build up troop levels in border towns near Iraq...
Syria launched a military build up on its Iraq border after the American Army began a wide-ranging military operation in a region in Iraq near the Syrian border.
Eyewitnesses in this area reported that they heard canon, warplane and bombing sounds coming from Al Kaim Township and its surroundings.
Local inhabitants reported that Syrian armored vehicles went to the border region with soldiers in them. Eyewitnesses noted that the tension in the region is quite high, and they added that they are anxious due to heavy American bombardment in the Ak Kaim region and Husayba Town.

So lets review, we have Operation Matador involving U.S. Marines, Army and Sailors going on in Western Iraq, very near the Syrian border, we have Syrian troops massing in Eastern Syria near the Iraq border. and we also have Turkish troops massing along the Kurdistan (Iraq) border. Anyone with half a brain can realize that this is a powder keg that is soon going to explode.
