America Preparing for Intervention in Syra

On April 17, 2013, David Cloud of the Los Angeles Times wrote an article called "Step Toward Possible Military Intervention in Syria". The article discusses how America is taking steps which hints out a possible intervention into Syria. Syrian refugees have been fleeing to places such as Turkey and Jordan. America has decided to send troops and aid to both of these countries to support these citizens, and stop any violence from occurring if the Syrian conflict will spill over to those countries. Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel announced that these measures are to ensure peace in the region and to help out these countries in any way possible. He also stated that if America would intervene into Syria, these forces will be the vanguard of the assault. Two hundred troops were deployed in Jordan, including a lot of aid. In my opinion, something may happen in the next couple of weeks, but anything is possible. If America does intervene into Syria, the main reason will be to stop the terrorist threat growing in Syria.
