In preparation for a direct US intervention in Syria and a wider war in 
the Middle East, the Pentagon has secretly deployed a 150-strong 
military task force in Jordan.
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta Wednesday confirmed the existence of the 
task force, which was first reported by the New York Times. Speaking to 
the media at the close of a two-day NATO defense ministers meeting in 
Brussels, Panetta stated, “We have a group of our forces there working 
to help build a headquarters there and to insure that we make the 
relationship between the United States and Jordan a strong one so that 
we can deal with all the possible consequences of what’s happening in 
Syria.”
