The United States has sent military troops to the Jordan-Syria border to bolster that country's military capabilities in the event that violence escalates along its border with Syria, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said Wednesday.

Speaking at a NATO conference of defense ministers in Brussels, Panetta said the U.S. has been working with Jordan to monitor chemical and biological weapons sites in Syria and also to help Jordan deal with refugees pouring over the border from Syria. The troops are also building a headquarters for themselves.

As much as royalty annoys me, the King of Jordan seems to be one of the few rational Arab leaders so I can see some reason to support him and his country. Huge refuge migrations are an excellent way to smuggle radical Islamics into a previously stable country.

Where are all the anti war Democrats? Did they suddenly decide a warmonger president is OK as long as he has a "D" after his name?
