Asad, then minister of defence, grounded the Syrian Air Force, allowing the Syrian tanks to be mauled by the Jordanian Air Force.
The people betrayed by Asad were all Arabs: the Palestinians in Jordan, and the unfortunate Syrian tank-crews, stabbed in the back by their own minister of defence.

Asad, por otra parte, calificó su entrevista con Chávez de "importante, fructífera y exitosa", al señalar que se centró en la situación de la región y en la necesidad de reforzar la cooperación entre los países árabes y latinoamericanos.
Además, Chávez expresó a Asad la necesidad de "la retirada de las fuerzas de EEUU de Irak y su apoyo a la población iraquí en el proceso de recuperación de su soberanía", añadió el líder sirio.
Asad anunció que ha aceptado la invitación de Chávez para visitar Venezuela, y avanzó que viajará pronto a Caracas, donde firmará una serie de acuerdos de interés para ambos países.
