KSA, Qatar funding terrorism in Jordan

All are pathetic excuses:

1- You managed to control you boarders prior to the Syrian crisis. At a time where you only had rookie trainees.

No, the other side managed to control those borders, they never managed and the US was the one doing so prior to their withdrawal end 2011. Neither is the FLIR equipment even available, the border is too long to be protected without the needed technology and fences.

2- No body expects you to shoot down jets, which means, there is no point for using force, just deny them an entry like Turkey. Of course you won't.
Yes deny entry which will anger them which will have consequences, it’s quite close to a declaration of war in Iraq’s case being their only airspace entry to Syria right now and with the current weak Iraqi military and all I don’t think that’s an option, we aren’t Qatar with US protection. That’s why FM gave them a good reply, they can use Iraqi airspace to halt Iranian flights. They can do so from Jordan, only requires a few F16’s + E2/E3.

3- If you couldn't control the civilians and the militias inside your own city, the least you could is to halt them on the boarders.
If they could they would keep terrorists entering from Syria out, which they are trying as you can see on the war on ISIL thread but they don’t always succeed that is again because of #1. Lack of the required technology.

Besides keep in mind ~2 million refugees from Iraq were in Syria prior to the war there, most liwa abu fadl & asaib are from those refugees.

Now can we start about your terrorism ?

The other side didn't manage to control a damn my dear boy. Prior to the Syrian crisis, Iraq's PM accused Syria of letting radical elements in from Syria's boarders. If the US was responsible for protecting the boarders, then how can you explain the infiltration of terrorists from Syria's boarders to Iraq.

Here is what some Western intelligence agencies had to say on that:

Shiite fighters from Iraq a growing legion in support of Syria's Assad - UPI.com

And this is what US officials say about Iraq supporting Assad:

Iraq, siding with Iran, sends “lifeline to Assad” - The Washington Post

And here is what the CIA had to say about Iraq's involvement in the Syrian war:

Al Qaeda 'rat line' from Syria to Iraq turns back against Assad - Washington Times

Yes deny entry which will anger them which will have consequences

Nothing of any sort. The Turks have done it without scrambling a jet of their air force, this excuse is pathetic.

it’s quite close to a declaration of war in Iraq’s case being their only airspace entry to Syria right now and with the current weak Iraqi military and all I don’t think that’s an option,

As a matter of fact, violating Iraq's sovereign air space is a declaration of war, and condemned by the international community. All Iraq can do, just like the rest, is not to grant them an excess.

we aren’t Qatar with US protection

Realistically speaking, The US has done a great favor to Iraqis by setting them free off Sadam's grip, and to this day, they remain an ally that in case of any act of aggression against Iraq, the US will come a long we to defend you.

That’s why FM gave them a good reply, they can use Iraqi airspace to halt Iranian flights. They can do so from Jordan, only requires a few F16’s + E2/E3.

The reply the FM of Iraq came up with is pathetically laughable.

If they could they would keep terrorists entering from Syria out, which they are trying as you can see on the war on ISIL thread but they don’t always succeed that is again because of #1. Lack of the required technology.

You've got tanks, armor vehicles, and helicopters to intercept massive escort of both militants like a piece of cake.


Now can we start about your terrorism ?

We openly stated that we support the FSA. There is nothing you can do about it.

No, the other side managed to control those borders, they never managed and the US was the one doing so prior to their withdrawal end 2011. Neither is the FLIR equipment even available, the border is too long to be protected without the needed technology and fences.

Maybe they sent them on purpose ? never said they didn’t, US protected it with little technology as well, theres no possible way to protect it without the right equipment.


Nothing of any sort. The Turks have done it without scrambling a jet of their air force, this excuse is pathetic.
I don’t think you get what I meant, Turkey has ~250 F16’s on the ground, Iraq has 0, weak conventional army doesn’t deter anyone, Iran can turn agressive and support any group if the government turns hostile to them. They have been playing both sides / neutral all along, this response by the FM is the safest way for the country, let the superpower deal with it & give them permission.


As a matter of fact, violating Iraq's sovereign air space is a declaration of war, and condemned by the international community. All Iraq can do, just like the rest, is not to grant them an excess.
Condemned doesn’t help much does it, in the war against PKK our neighbours have been violating it every week.

No alliance pact has been signed, just a strategic framework BS.


You've got tanks, armor vehicles, and helicopters to intercept massive escort of both militants like a piece of cake.
Yes, 140 Abrams tank is enough for a country the size of Qatar, 6 MI 35M are the only attack helicopters with some other light helicopters, small fleet of drones, no other advanced FLIR systems, no real barriers. Lack of equipment is big here.

Also the important part, take note those Iraqis in Syria they are mostly from the Iraqi refugees there, 2 million of them were living there so what is so special about a number like 15.000 fighters of them, I would expect a lot more.
