When it comes to natural gas for America, the best Obama comes up with is sticking his head up his personal source of gas ...

Read a report yesterday that said 80% of the gas from Egypt went to Jordan and 20% went to Israel (the 20% going to Israel is 40% of Israel’s natural gas). The Jordanians have only one big power plant, and they have temporarily converted it to diesel. They can run off diesel for 3 weeks. The pipeline is supposed to be repaired in 1 week, and the Egyptians have added 800 troops at the border near the pipeline to prevent further sabotage of the pipeline and minimize Hamas activities.

If the Jordanians do not get more diesel, and the pipeline remains down for more than 3 weeks, the country would be even more destablilzed by current events than at present.

Jordans energy is completely dependent on Egypt. The MB would have tremendous leverage over Jordan in regard to its friendly relationship with Israel if it comes to power in Egypt.
