3. The Jordanians ...
Jules   (12.13.10)
... are scared of a future necessity to integrate the Palestinians into their society, after the "peace process" will be finally dead. They mistakenly believe that Iran can help them to prevent the problem. The most probable result, however, will be a total loss of independence.

6. Obammas Evil Plot Is A
KennyC ,   Canada   (12.13.10)
Success This US Pres has alienated all moderate countries of the World. Israel will soon be surrounded, backed into a corner. A very dangerous game as Israel has over 200 NUKES. Muslims are playing a very very DANGEROUS GAME dont you think
7. I agree with Jules at No. 3
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.13.10)
It is a foregone conclusion that Israel will annex Judea and Samaria, and repatriate its Arab residents to Jordan, country of their citizenship. Israel cannot and will not integrate 2.2 million West Bank Arabs into Israeli society because to do so would jeopardize Israel's unique status as a Jewish state. The handwriting has been on the wall for a long time. The final nail in the ersatz "Palestinian" coffin was when their so-called leadership walked away from a deal which would have awarded the ersatz "Palestinians" 90% of the West Bank and East Jerusalem as a capital. They preferred a second intifada to having a state of their own. That was the last straw; then and only then did the world come to grips with the fact that the ersatz "Palestinians" do not want a state of their own; they want to supplant Israel. That is not going to happen. King Abdullah of Jordan is mistaken if he believes that Iran can help him. He is a desperate man -- the monarchy in Jordan will not survive -- and he really does not want to absorb 2.5 million Arabs. He has no choice -- they are Jordanian citizens. He cannot refuse them entry. Israel has played this wonderfully well. The ersatz "Palestinians" have been conclusively proven to be intransigent, obstinate and unwilling to make even the simplest of concessions; they have been unequivocally shown to be whiny and demanding, whereas Israel has been shown to be accommodating and patient. Abdullah will have his hands full. Do I feel sorry for him? Not in the least. I am just glad that the ersatz "Palestinians" will now be someone else's problem. If Abdullah really wanted to make political hay, he would invite the ersatz "Palestinians" home to Jordan and offer them a hand in the governance of the country. That might just be the only way to save the monarchy. But let us not forget that the "Kingdom of the Transjordan" has no historical basis and was carved out of Mandatory Palestine solely to make the baby brother of Iraq's King Feisal happy (he wanted to be a king, too, just like big brother Feisal). My sympathy for an ersatz "king" has its limits.
8. IRANIANS IN JORDAN
ASSAF   (12.13.10)
iran is equiping jordan army with modern light weapond and air-defense system . lots of iranian military experts are living in jordan and training jordanians on using the new arms . farsi language is becoming familiar in jordan .
9. jordanian lack of gratitude towards israel
martin ,   uk   (12.13.10)
needs to remember black september. he is scared because obama is so weak towards the moslem world and it shows. instead he has been rude and ignorant towards israel. that is why jordan (and other arab/moslem countries) fear iran. best if he and his hashemites returned to the land of their origina, saudi arabia and allow the other arab east and west bank settlers take over and rename it palestine. after all, it does constitute 78% of palestine anyway
10. Bowing to the Ayatollahs
Brod ,   USA   (12.13.10)
One by one the Arab Islamist-Jihadist state in the region is falling to its knees and bowing to the new dominant Power in the region-the fanatical Islamist-Jihadist Ayatollahs of Iran. Lebanon and Gaza have succumbed to the Ayatollahs and become Hezbollahtan and Hamastan. Iraq, before the very eyes of the American Liberators, has pledged allegiance to Iran. Turkey under Islamist-Jihadist Erdogan was quick to extend its hands to Iran and bowed to them. Now, Jordan-the Palestinian State under the midget Abdullah is extending his hand to Iran and bowing to them. Afghanistan under the corrupted Islamist-Jihadist Karzai was quick to extend its hands to Iran and bowed to them before the very eyes of the American Liberators. With all these happening what are the American forces doing in the region? Do they want to sacrifice more American lives over nothing and for nothing? What does this tell you about the American administration under the inexperienced, incompetent and naive Barack Hussien Obama and his fellow incompetents-Hillary, Biden and the rest of the scoundrels? America's greatness is being eroded by Obama and his fellow incompetents. It is time Congress rebukes them and starts IMPEACHING the incompetent Obama. It is just a matter of time before all the rest of the Arab states in the region start bowing to Iran. This is all happening before Iran even gets its nukes. Once it gets its nukes, the rest of the surrounding states will fall like domino. And the Ayatollahs will shower Israel with nuke as they have planned and announced to the world repeatedly. They are hellbent on wiping off Israel of the Map. Meanwhile, the Obama machinery is deliberately distracting Israel from focusing on defending itself against Iran. They use all the trickery in the world to bombard Israel with talks, talks and more empty crap talks over nothing. This is all done to divert Israel's preparedness in defending itself against Iran that has vowed repeatedly to vaporize Israel. And they use the forces of godless Leftism to lull Israel into all these diversions and distractions. It is time Israel's leaders see what lies ahead of the tunnel of confusion, diversion and distraction. They will see a fanatical Islamist-Jihadist regime of Iran aiming its giant missiles and nuke to destroy Israel and cause a mega Holocaust. If they think they can count on people like Obama, Biden and Hillary, they are living in fantasyland indeed. Israel needs strong leadership more than ever now to help defend and rescue the Nation of Israel decisively from the forces of evil hellbent on its destruction.
11. Whats Abdullahs price?....
Mr Green ,   Manchester   (12.13.10)
Its all about at what point Abdullah will succumb to the temptation of Dollar Bills wafted under his nose And how pursuaded he will be for the need of Ah MAD inejads 'Protection' Thats the essence of Ah MAD inejad Foreign Policy Meanwhile we see Ah MAD inejads Police State slipping into paranoia. They are beginning to suspect enemies, traitors, terrorists, zionists anywhere and everywhere!
12. His Highness must hurry. Ayatollahs have little time left.
leo ,   usa   (12.13.10)
13. abdullah Is Shaking In His
Brazen   (12.13.10)
boots right about now, he see's the tide turning and Israel is riseing to the top. jordan is palistine whether arab/bedouins like it or not? iran might prolong the enevitable a bit but jordan is palistine and Jerusalem Is the Jewish peoples Eternal Capital.
14. #13 Amen to everything you wrote..
chris ,   wales   (12.13.10)
And we can see this King positioning himself, as his father did before him,with those who will end up attacking Israel. Jordan is indeed Palestine and Israeli Politicians better start stating this fact before you end up Creating another Palestine state next to it.
15. Everyone loves a winner!
IRAN#1   (12.14.10)
Iran is on a winning streak and everyone want to be on their team. From Brazil & Turkey to smaller state in the region and even Argentina, Paraguay, etc...who recognized Palestine! Even the blind leaders in the "west" will see the writing on the wall soon and read it to you guys, with proper translation of course!
16. #15 Iranosaurus Vexed
Hal ,   Usa   (12.14.10)
If firing your foreign minister and jailing more journalists is an Iranian win streak your are indeed on a roll. The problem with you double o zero is that you are a hokey PR man. You always have some news to share about the Great Islamic Paradise, only no one buys it. Not even Iranian people buy your garbage. You know, Mahmood in the UK has some similar brain farts. Why don't you just go to Leeds and look him up at the pizza store? Maybe you can help him with sales.
17. #15..Imprisoned, silenced Iranian citizens will dis-agree
Abraham ben Jacob ,   Canada   (12.14.10)
18. to nr. 6.
sjoerd van der velde ,   hoorn-the netherland   (01.06.11)
let us use our sense(s). then everything will go good/fine! have a nice day!
19. Possibly suicidal for King H. to chum up with Iran
Abraham ben Jacob ,   Canada   (01.07.11)
Iran hates kings and monarchs as you can see what they did to the Shah. By cuddling up to Iran, Hussein risks his own life and the people in the kingdom of Jordan. Jordan might turn into an Iran- Hizbolah controlled state similar to unlucky Lebanon. This would be dangerous for everyone.
