    Not sure how much Jordan has got to gain from getting involved at this time.

    I'm surprised that Jordan is letting any refugees in. The last time that they allowed refugees in on any scale the refugees caused more trouble than they were worth and made the neighbours nervous.

    Forty million won't go far. The Jordians are none too happy about it, place is flooded with refugees and they are a big source of instability all over the region. There are a lot of tribal links and the Syrian appear to be less despised than the Pals. Last I hard they were moving the Syrians out into camps in the desert.
    That's the most foul, cruel, and bad-tempered rodent you ever set eyes on!
