      S.Arabia says open to sending troops to Syria under wider coalition

      http://www.jpost.com/Breaking-News/S...alition-550094

      The new Middle East Nato emerging??? What is interesting??? It would seem it is approved by the UN.

      Saudi Arabia vows to send TROOPS into Syria as Middle East tensions SOAR
      And today, Donald Trump called on Arab nations to form a military force capable of taking over from the US in the region and help secure the north-eastern party of Syria following the defeat of so-called Islamic State (ISIS).
      Mr Trump has also called on the United Arab Emirates and Qatar to commit to an 'Arab army' to secure and begin rebuilding war-torn Syria.
      Following the US Presidents request, Mr Jubeir said his nation was willing to use its massive military might as part of a wider coalition if one is proposed.


      John Bolton, President Donald Trump's new national security adviser, recently called Abbas Kamel, Egypt's acting intelligence chief, to see if Cairo would contribute to the effort, officials said.

      Increased engagement from our friends, including Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Egypt and others, can ensure that Iran does not profit from the eradication of ISIS. America does not seek an indefinite presence in Syria, under no circumstances.



      As other nations step up their contributions, we look forward to the day when we can bring our warriors home-and great warriors they are. Looking around our very troubled world, Americans have no illusions. We cannot purge the world of evil or act everywhere there is tyranny.


      and that could be very very soon..

        Confirmation ???

        Warning the article is not flattering of the action or what is seen in this article as non action

        Israeli intelligence: Objectives of Western strike in Syria not achieved

        "If President Trump had ordered the strike only to show that the US responded to Assad's use of chemical weapons, then that goal has been achieved," according to a senior defense establishment official. "But if there was another objective-such as paralyzing the ability to launch chemical weapons or deterring Assad from using it again-it's doubtful any of these objectives have been met."
        Another intelligence official added that, "The statement of 'Mission Accomplished' and (the assertion) that Assad's ability to use chemical weapons has been fatally hit has no basis."



        In addition, the Syrian Air Force only suffered a minor hit, and so the Syrian ability to drop these chemical weapons on their targets has hardly been compromised.

        reminder from post 25
        Once again Israel is expressing..
        Israel fears Trump may see job as done in Syria, leave Israel alone to face Iran
        While Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu firmly backed the US-led airstrikes on Syria in the wake of its use of chemical weapons, Israeli security chiefs made clear on Saturday night that Israel fears the Trump Administration will now consider that its work in Syria is done, and leave Israel alone to face the dangers posed by Iran's growing military presence in Syria.


        Israel's defense chiefs are also reportedly worried that Russia's President Vladimir Putin, seeing Syria under US-led attack, may provide President Bashar Assad with more advanced air defense systems-which could reduce Israel air supremacy in the skies of Syria and Lebanon. A Russian general indicated such an arms supply was possible in comments on Saturday.

          REALLY have to wonder why Trump did this. Warning them (something he has bragged he'd never do) then bombing empty buildings.
          Almost as if his only intent was to stir the world war-pot to usher in a much larger war.

            Macron told the truth here.
            Pres. Trump did not want to do it, but Macron presented his case to Pres. Trump ....

            Macron: Syria strikes were 'for honor of international community'

            https://www.timesofisrael.com/macron...nal-community/

            so the compromise, was what we know now.

            He wasn't trying to provoke anything, or why would the WH give everyone a heads up??? Hit empty buildings, and cancel the sanctions on Russia

            "
            With all due respect, I don't get confused," Haley told Fox News.

              Excellent update by Dina Kalmeta



              Really occurs to me that right now Iran is powerful and, in theory, could inflict massive damage to Israel or the US.
              Perhaps they will be chopped down a good bit between now and Ezekiel 38 to where they are behind Gog/Magog because they are unable to inflict enough damage by themselves.
              Remember, the goal of this war is not to destroy Israel but to take spoil - OR is that what God brings Gog/Magog down for but the other nations are bent on Israel's destruction??

              Hmm...points to ponder, here.

                God could always send an earthquake and bury all of Irans underground bunkers, labs and their reactor.... btw, the reactor is built on top of of fault lines which shook a few days ago...

                      Many days this source focuses way too much attention on "Man-controlled global warming" but today there is some good info, including on the M.E.
                      One note, though - he likes using Al-Jazeera, obviously you have to be careful trusting this source. Still, I thought this was interesting so am sharing.
