As long as American troops are in Iraq in large numbers, there will be no Middle E
ast War. However, once they are gone, a massive attack will eventually be launched against Israel prior to 2015, which will start the final war that culminates at the battle of Armageddon.
As long as sufficient numbers of U.S. forces exist along the eastern border of Syria and the western border of Iran, there will be no war between Israel and the 10 horns of Daniel 7 and Revelation 13 & 17.
Daniel 7:24,25 – And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings. [25] And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his h
and until a time and times and the dividing of time.
Revelation 13:1 – And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
Revelation 17:12,13 – And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
[13] These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.

Syrian riot police ring US Embassy in Damascus ahead of anti-American protest
By BASSEM MROUE , Associated Press
October 30, 2008
DAMASCUS, Syria – Tens of thousands of Syrians turned out Thursday for a massive government-orchestrated protest against a deadly U.S. raid near the Iraqi border.
A mile away, hundreds of Syrian riot police formed a protective ring around the closed U.S. Embassy, but the flag-waving crowds dispersed peacefully after a couple of hours later, with students heading to schools and employees to work.
The troops, wearing helmets and armed with batons and shields, took up positions around the embassy and the adjacent U.S. residence building. The embassy was closed because of security concerns related to the protest, and the American school in Damascus was also shut for the day.
Thursday’s protest came as Syria demanded a formal apology from the U.S. for Sunday’s attack in the eastern border community of Abu Kamal that Damascus says killed eight civilians. It threatened to cut off cooperation on Iraqi border security if there are more American raids on Syria territory.
There has been no formal acknowledgment of the raid from Washington. But U.S. officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, have said the target of the raid was Badran Turki al-Mazidih, a top al-Qaida in Iraq figure who operated a network of smuggling fighters into the war-torn country. The Iraqi national also goes by the name Abu Ghadiyah.
Syria insists the dead were civilians and has challenged Americans to provide evidence to the contrary.
“This aggression did not succeed,” said Information Minister Mohsen Bilal. “It was supposed to yield a catch so that they could show it to the world … But the catch turned out to be an innocent family.”
No violence was reported at Thursday’s rally on the Youssef al-Azmi square and surround ing streets
in the upscale al-Maliki neighborhood. Some young Syrians formed circles and danced traditional dances while women and students joined the peaceful crowds.
Protesters waved national flags, carried pictures of President Bashar Assad and held banners, one of which called America “the sponsor of destruction and wars.”
Hussam Baayoun, a 20-year-old university student at the rally, said the U.S. raid was a “criminal act” and added: “We want the Americans to stop their acts of terrorism in Syria, in Iraq and the rest of the world.”
In Washington, State Department deputy spokesman Robert Wood said Wednesday that Syria had formally notified the U.S. of the closure order for the cultural center, effective immediately, and the school by Nov.
6.
Wood said Washington was considering how to respond and that the U.S. expects the Syrian government to “provide adequate security for the buildings.”
Though Syria has long been viewed by the U.S. as a destabilizing country in the Middle East, in recent months, Damascus has been trying to change its image and end years of global seclusion.
But American accusations that Syria wasn’t doing enough to prevent foreign fighters from crossing its borders into Iraq, remains a sore point in relations. Syria says it is doing all it can to safeguard its long, porous border.
