The Arabs were prepared to allow the Soviet Army into Syria and Lebanon? I can see this alarming the Jordanians and Saudis like crazy. And yeah, I guess you could call it chickening out, but the war was pretty much over from Israel's perspective. Occupying Syria and Egypt would not be fun tasks. The Israelis were shelling Damascus and had recrossed the Suez Canal by the time the Soviets threatend intervention. Why fight a super power for nothing?
