I think Tim Russert came off as very disrepectful to King Abdullah of Jordan.

The king condemned the recent terrorist acts in his country and insisted that al Zarqawi be brought to justice. Neverthless, Tim took the side of the terrorists, insinuating that the majority of Jordanians really supported them (and that the king was wrong to come out against them). He then tried to get the king to say the Iraq war was wrong. The king refused to take Tim's bait. I was quite impressed.

Considering that most so called palestinians are actually Jordanian, I would say that Tim's right that most Jordanians really support the terrorists-- except when they attack their own.

MSNBC just announced that the female (attempted) suicide bomber would make a statement today on Jordanian television.

Hope this is true. If it is, Al Queda will be dealt another serious blow.

"The king condemned the recent terrorist acts in his country and insisted that al Zarqawi be brought to justice."

King Abdul is at best a hypocrite, and at worst, and most likely, personally implicated in the islamic terrorism.
He comes 4 years, 2 months and a day too late to his condemnation of terrorism.

And oh by the way: he didn't condemn all terrorism, just terrorism directed toward Jordanians.
I'm guessing you wouldn't have heard a word from him if the victims had been mostly Americans!

The King put Timmy in his place quite well. I was pleasantly surprised. I particularly enjoyed the part where Abdullah said he would fire the pollster and laughed at Timmy's pronouncements.
