This was speculated on before by such outlets as Stratfor.com, Jane's Defense, and even Debka.

The speculation is that Iraq is to be split up into two or three parts, with the center of Iraq, including Baghdad, going back to King Abdullah's family... King Abdullah's cousin was the original monarch of Iraq (killed and overthrown by Saddam Hussein in 1979.

If I remember correctly, Jordan is hosting both American and ISRAELI troops on its Eastern border with Iraq. This is seriesly interesting....

They can have Iraq, if they give the Palestinians a small chunk of their land to call their own. Call it a land shift. Man, the peace and prosperity that region would have, if they would only leave little Israel alone!
