Jordan faces homegrown extremism, with hundreds of Jordanians fighting alongside ISIS militants in Iraq and Syria and several thousand more supporting the extremist group in the kingdom.

The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan is (currently) a pro-West kingdom that is barely holding on to power under King Abdallah.

As usual, the US has lost or alienated, (over the years) Iran, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Syria, Iraq, Yemen and others.

The last 8 years under the Obama administration have DECIMNATED US relations in the area.

The ONLY free, Democratic, Liberal, balanced, reliable, stable and friendly country in the region, ISRAEL has been shat upon repeatedly by the US President.

The Jordanians are nervous when they look at their borders and internal strife. No, they are terrified and the ONLY country they can rely on is Israel.

The US is clutching at the very straws she herself burned and it is not surprising that elements inside Jordan were able to carry out this dastardly act.

Jordan is a friend, but fr how long?

G.I.s did NOT “run the gate”!

Hope this is investigated as the terrorist act it is.
