Anybody know if this is valid?

[MacAilbert]

I can't find any trustworthy sources for this, and even if it is happening, it doesn't mean that there will be an attack.

[DanSC]

It could happen, but I don't see why they would contribute ground forces here but not in Libya.

The article says the troops are NATO troops, so some Canadians could be there too.

Suncor pulling out

[BartSimpson]

"Hundreds" of troops does not equal "massing". And given the Arab proclivity to exaggerate it's probably six Belgians wearing khaki outifts driving old Toyota Land Cruisers and in the retelling that's being turned into 100 US armored divisions replete with tanks and landing craft to ford all of those massive rivers in the Jordanian desert.
