The United States responded by saying that 3,000 U.S. troops, a detachment of F-16s fighter jets, and batteries of Patriot missiles will remain in Jordan after the joint U.S.-Jordan military exercise they are currently participating in is over.
Four weeks ago, Hezbollah , the Lebanese Shi’a militia, began to move large forces into Syria, and coordinate these moves with the Syrian military. With about 3,500 Hezbollah fighters in place, the Assad government began the attack on al Qusayr, a rebel-held city located on the Syria-Lebanon border north of Damascus. After two weeks of relentless bombardment and ground fighting, the city fell to government forces in what must be regarded as a major defeat for the anti-government rebels.
In addition, Saudi Arabia and Qatar have been arming Sunni militias in Lebanon , preparing them to take on Hezbollah , and Nasrallah needs his fighters back home to defend the Shi’a areas from the coming Sunni attacks.The U.S. is planning initially to send only light arms, and the United Kingdom and France will not begin to provide military aid to the rebels before August.
Iran has announced that it and Hezbollah are planning to open up a new “Syrian” front on the Golan Heights against Israel." HomelandSecurityNewsWire

for such things must needs be;
but the end shall not be yet.
