I'd say the king is about 4 years late to the party.

...from what I hear he was pretty soft and his borders were wide open.

It's probably double speak for "kill all the dirty Jews".

Interestingly but not surprisingly, Al Jazeera's English language website reported the bombings but not the Jordanian street demonstrations protesting them and not the King's condemnation.

muslims are the most racist people on the planet.
Its more typical muslim doubletalk as usual.
Where has been Abdullahs public outrage while iraqis have been being slaughtered by the thousands by fellow muslims?

True, he's very late to the party. But if he's sincere, and his heart is in the right place....for the LONG HAUL.......I welcome him with open arms...it's better he's with us than against us....or remained neutral, which, really, is against us, too.
The prodigal son had to experience life in the pig stye before his eyes were opened. Sometimes, even those who hit bottom still never see.
If this tragedy caused the King to have an awakening, albeit after a long slumber, perhaps he can do great things in the Middle East/Arab world, in helping turn the tide with their people.

And now we are all supposed to jump into action because it happened in Jordon.
Save Jordon now.
Free Jordon, or nothing.
Why Jordon?
I will light a candle for Jordon. I will not give in to terror, I will visit Jordon.
By the way, where the hell is Jordon?

Muslims killing Muslims seemed to be his main concern in the video. But now he wants All Muslims, Westerners and Jews to go after these Muslim Extremists.

That's why Dean won't go on MTP with Ken Mehlman! He was hoping that he'd have another, "Bush's fault," talking point to use, and it slipped through his fingers.
