The writing's on the wall ....Assad is winning and Jordan's trying to make amends to Syria ...


a bit too late, IMO.

Will the Assad government forgive Jordan for letting jihadis make use of its border with Syria to gain ingress and create havoc in Syria?  I doubt it.  Too much has happened and too many of Syria's neighbours have acted most foolishly on the orders of the Master Manipulator,Saudi Arabia.  Too many innocent Syrians have died.  Too many of those grieving for the dead know what  the neighbouring countries did to intensify their grief, their homelessness, their suffering, their way of life. The animosity and grievances against those neighbours will continue with feverish escalation for generations to come.... and rightly so.

A Jordanian security source said the targets appeared to have been Syrian rebels with machine guns mounted on civilian vehicles who were seeking refugee from fighting with government forces in southern Syria, but refused to elaborate.
The Syrian state news agency SANA said no Syrian vehicles were involved in the incident. "What was targeted by the Jordanian air force does not belong to the Syrian army," a military source was quoted by SANA as saying.

"There was an attempt to infiltrate across the border from Syria by a number of vehicles," said Jordanian government spokesman Mohammad al-Momani, also a cabinet minister.
A Jordanian army statement said the incident took place at around 10:30 a.m. (4:30 a.m. ET) when several camouflaged vehicles attempted to traverse rugged frontier terrain and disregarded warnings not to proceed.....
