I hope the Zambonis are working overtime preparing the Plains O'Megiddo. Looks like we're right on schedule for 2012.

Abdullah II is evidently HSLD, having jump-trained with our boys, I believe, and being a member of the Jordanian Special Forces before becoming king. He had a good diplomatic relationship with GWB, as I recall. |

He's getting ahead of the curve. Jordan gets to have elections while Egypt and Tunisia are in Chaos, and the Jordanians won't mind that they really don't get to elect their king.
Very smart tactically. |

Over throwing a government is the easy part.
Giving the rioters food, clothing, houses, jobs and a future is the hard part once they are in charge. Third world shit holes like Egypt have no source of income other than tourism and foreign aid. Let the Muslims take over all of the shit holes and sit back and watch them fail. Kind of like what the Kenyan is doing here...... |

Let the people elect a new government and he will be viewed as the motivating force for the change. |

When he was in highschool, he and a couple of his buddies were HAMS, and one of them made contact with a guy from the middle east on a HF rig. They only exchanged call signs at first, then chatted for a bit and then exchanged names, and the guy says he is "King Hussein from Jordan".... |

Ummmmm, you do know, right, in parlimentary systems that dissolving the government is not the same as a revolution?
Cross check what it means to have a vote of no confidence and to dissolve the government...........and see how many countries have done it over the years. Also, just as a side point, one might want to check their history books about the UAR. __________________________________________________________ ("Your Majesty, will you work with me and form a government for the United Kingdom?"––the prime minister making the traditional request on the assumption of his post, (w,stte), "Victoria & Albert") |

This is part of Abdullah II's problem - too close to the west for the local rabble. The news was saying he doesn't speak Arabic with a Jordanian accent since he grew up in British private schools and his wife looks like a fashion model. Great for us when he has the will of the people, but not good if there are 13th century rioters in the street. |

Very smart tactically. This. If ever there was an Arab leader who could pull this off, it's Abdullah. Educated in the United Kingdom, son of an American mother and one of the most western kings in the ME, he has the background and understanding to make this work. Baby steps, not giant leaps will work best. As long as he is in control he can gently pace the Jordanians into self rule. His problem will be the Palestinians, not the Jordanians. I wish him well. (He also trained at Gunsite.) |
