Abdullah 'working closely' with Saddam

Jerusalem Post ^ | 08-03-02 | DOUGLAS DAVIS

[CROSSHIGHWAYMAN]

Bush adheres to the old Mafia axiom, "keep your friends close, but keep your enemies closer"

I believe it works both ways.

Double agent Abdullah passing misinformation.

Abdullah strikes me as an intelligent man, not a dope. He can see the writing on the wall, and its not in arabic!!!!

[Husker24]

Geeze, for a while i actually thought Jordan might actually be a friend in the region.

[Diogenesis]

Perhaps this explains the look.

In DC, President George W. Bush entertains Jordan's Abdullah
who was upset that the US still supports democracies in the world, women's complete freedom,
and has even BEGUN the War for Enduring Freedom against terrorists like
his relative in Iraq, Saddam.

Double agent Abdullah passing misinformation.

Independent Prosecutor Ken Starr subtly laying his traps....

[Faraday]

He also told the paper that when he meets Bush he will demand full backing for Secretary of State Colin Powell against the Pentagon officials who are "fixated on Iraq," and he warned that US action against Iraq would open a "Pandora's box" in the Middle East.

LOL. Bush makes the policy (with lots of advice), Abdullah. If you have a problem speak plainly to him.

This article seems to be a little bit of hyperventilation. The Jordanians were double-dealing during the Gulf War. They are weak and only survive by staying out of everyone's gun sights. As long as they don't encourage terrorism against Israel or the US, they'll be given a pass on playing footsie with Saddam. What Abdullah fears is that his kingdom will get washed away in the bow wake of Iraq falling. He may be right.

Abdullah's just trying to save his throne. Like his father before him, he must hedge his bets. He is a weak king, in a region in which to the winner goes the spoils. He is scared, very scared. And he is also afraid of Saddam, a truly evil man who would not be afraid for a moment to eradicate Abdullah. It's a tough place to be in. Saving his kingship and his line is more important to him than what's right or wrong.

[Thud]

We might want Saddam to believe King Abdullah is his trusted friend.

[watchin]

What???? A muslim who is a treacherous, lying, two-faced, back-stabbing terrorist sympathizer?

Is there any other kind?

The unamed sources in this article may want the Abdullah kingdom washed away. These unsourced charges could be false.

Abdullah's family has a checkered past. His mother is English (I don't know what her profession was when she met his father, King Hussein). His great grandfather was the Mufti of Jerusalem, an open supporter of the Nazis. His sainted father, King Hussein, openly supported Saddam in the 1991 Gulf War and was married to Lisa Halaby, daughter of the superrich Najeeb Halaby. Lisa Halaby is a Princeton graduate who in a speech just last year enthralled the graduates with tales of her radical antiwar activities against US troops in Vietnam while a student in the 1970s and how you had to take direct action to achieve radical social change. The "radical" Miss Halaby (now Queen Noor) is, of course, a noted clotheshorse who spends tens of thousands of dollars at French boutiques while many of her people live in abject poverty. Apparently, her "radical" instincts also weren't bothered in the slightest by her late husband's wipeout of thousands of Palestinian civilians living in Jordan (far more than the Israelis ever killed in 50 years) in what became known as Black September (September, 1970).

Aspen, Colorado, 30/7/2002, (Communication & Information Division - Royal Hashemite Court)
-- On the sidelines of his participation in the U.S. Fortune Foundation Conference on Tuesday, His Majesty King Abdullah met former U.S. President Bill Clinton and Israeli Foreign Minister Shimon Peres and discussed the deteriorating situation in the Palestinian areas and the tremendous Palestinian suffering under Israeli occupation.

I was hoping, against hope, that this story of him leaking U.S. information was not true. I have been fond of King Abdullah as I was of his late father.

bummer :( Can none of them be trusted?

Hmmmmmmmmm.

Da 11:21 And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries.

[snippy_about_it]

good point.

[Notforprophet]

From that photo, it looks like the POTUS is weighing Abdullah's words and finds them lacking in credibility. LOL.

[Thinkin' Gal]

Double dealing Hashemites. Imagine that.

Daniel 8:23-25

23 And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences¹, shall stand up.
24 And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.
25 And through his policy also he shall cause craft² to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.

Good post! Clear as a bell! Some be double dealing. Some be double minded.
