Muslim Brotherhood now Targeting Jordan - US Boots on Ground to Protect King | |
DoorBert (OP) User ID: 1495371 United States 11/18/2012 08:46 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The Jordanian government is clearly hoping to ride out the storm triggered by its economic austerity package which includes substantial rises in fuel prices. Events in Gaza have provided what, for the government, is surely a welcome diversion and Jordanian security forces have mostly avoided stoking the fires of revolt with heavy-handed policing (though there are many unanswered questions about the death of activist Qais al-Omari in Irbid). According to the government's own figures, there were 91 protests and/or riots across the country during the first three days of disturbances last week: 15 in Amman, 29 in the northern governorates, 20 in the south and 27 in the central region. By Friday, a total of 280 people had been arrested and detained, though some of them had also been released. [link to www.al-bab.com] |

Our troops protecting the people he's trying to get rid of that is what is hard to understand. Are they there to actually protect the family? Are they an arresting force? Are they there to kill the royal family? Are they there to whisk them out country? -or- are we seeing a further disconnect between the military and the commander in chief?

Anonymous Coward User ID: 27987396 United Kingdom 11/18/2012 10:40 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Ruthless rioting threatens king after radical uprisings in Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Syria Quoting: DoorBert Jordan’s anti-government riots aimed ultimately at removing King Abdullah from power are so severe that the government has turned 10,000 of its soldiers into riot police. Religious Freedom Coalition President and Founder William Murray said the ruthlessness of the rioting prompted the move. “The king has given police uniforms to 10,000 soldiers to try to maintain order,” he said. Those soldiers-turned-police are not the only ones guarding the king. Terrorism analyst and Act for America President Brigitte Gabriel said there are U.S. troops on the ground in Jordan. “We have actually positioned troops in Jordan to protect King Abdullah,” she said. “We’ve said that the Americans in Jordan are just there in case something happens in Syria so we can be close.” Gabriel also said the situation has grown more intense: “The reality is, we have placed troops in Jordan so we can protect the royal family in case of an uprising which we are now witnessing before our own eyes.” [link to www.wnd.com] Your on the ball DoorBert, thanks for the update. |

Quoting: Just Some Guy King Abdullah is one of the few good guys in the middle east. In fact, he's about it. A Jordanian friend of mine would disagree. He says the foreign aid to Jordan would amount to about $3000/person/month if divided evenly, but that most people make less than $300/month. Meanwhile, King Abdullah is worth $40 billion. In his book, "Between Two Ages," Brzezinski wrote: "The technetronic era involves the gradual appearance of a more controlled society. Such a society would be dominated by an elite, unrestrained by traditional values." MuzzleBreak |

He is the perfect candidate for AC Quoting: Anonymous Coward 27906097 The mother of King Abdullah II bin Al-Hussein of Jordan is British-born Princess Muna al-Hussein (born Antoinette Avril Gardiner). King Abdullah II's wife, Queen Rania of Jordan, is American-born Lisa Halaby. I imagine the King's mother being British-born, the Queen being born an American, and the King having been educated at prep schools in Massachusetts, Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., and Oxford University in England have all had an effect on Jordan's political stance toward the West. [link to en.wikipedia.org] These multiple and significant connections to the West on the part of the Jordanian Royal Family have also undoubtedly impacted the willingness of U.S. (NATO?) forces to offer military protection to the Jordanian Royal Family. |
