Jordanians ‘suspicious’ about U.S. troop movements

“Jordanians are suspicious about US weapons and troops being deployed to the kingdom, even if Washington seeks to help its ally protect itself from a possible spillover of Syrian violence, experts say.  The United States has kept F-16 warplanes and Patriot missiles in the country since a joint military exercise ended on June 20.  A US defence official said Washington has expanded its military presence in the country to 1,000 troops.  MP Khalil Atiyeh says lawmakers reject the presence of foreign forces. ‘As deputies representing Jordanian people, we do not accept US or any other foreign troops in Jordan. Jordanians do not think there are threats from Syria.'”
