Default Jordan to deploy Patriot missile batteries on Syrian border

This is interesting. There's no time frame given and I'm curious to see how quickly, or slowly, this happens.

"Jordan to deploy Patriots to protect Israel from Syrian attack"

Quote:
"Jordan is to deploy four Patriot missile batteries to protect itself — and Israel — from possible air attack by Syria, the French newspaper Le Figaro reported on Thursday.

Quoting a European military expert, it said the the missile defense systems would be supplied by Germany, with US support. The US originally sold the systems to Germany 20 years ago."
A translation of the original article from Le Figaro says that they'll be deployed near Irbid.
