Jordan brands Iran, Syria biggest threat to stability

Wed Mar 23, 4:58 AM ET


JERUSALEM (AFP) - Jordan's King Abdullah II launched a stinging attack
against Iran, Syria and Lebanese-based militia Hezbollah as the main threats
to Middle East stability.

At talks with American Jewish leaders in Washington, the king said Syria and
Hezbollah were encouraging Palestinian militants to wage attacks against
Israel, the Haaretz and Yedioth Ahronoth newspapers reported Wednesday.


Abdullah II accused Syria, Iran and Hezbollah of being "the greatest threats
to stability in the Middle East," both dailies quoted him as saying.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is amazing! Abdullah blames a fellow Arab nation (instead of Israel)
for the continued instability in the region. Is anybody noticing how the
Arab countries (Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Jordan) are one-by-one lining up
*against* Syria on several issues?

Or, perhaps, they are lining up against Jordan.

It's not so much the Arabs fighting amongst themselves, as it is the Arab
nations starting to finger-point at Syria and Iran for prolonging the
Arab-Israeli conflict...rather than always blaming Israel.

That's pretty damn big news.

Jordan's king is following in the footsteps of his dead father, who long
ago came to the realization that Israel was not his enemy, and whose son
wants peace for his people.

But neither the son nor the dad has ever publicly blamed Syria and Iran for
prolonging the Arab-Israeli conflict. This is ground-breaking news.

Syria is stirring that pot, and trying to make it look like the Jordanians
are fueling the insurgency. What a crock...

How would you possibly know that? Because you can't find a link on Google?

Because just 4 1/2 years ago, Abdullah was blaming the Israelis:


Jordan Times

King blames Israeli provocations

AMMAN (Agencies) - His Majesty King Abdullah on Sunday threw Jordan's full
support behind the Palestinian people, blaming Israeli unjustified
provocations for four days of bloody clashes.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

He's made a complete 180.

Means nothing. Opinions change in the midde east more often than you
change your socks.

Show me one instance where the leader of an Arab country blamed a fellow
Arab country for the Arab-Israeli conflict.

It's nice to see you go to a Canadian newspaper for somewhat impartial
news...even if it's from Toronto.
