I heard recently that Jordan's king had been considered as a possible Constitutional monarch over Iraq once the war is over. Any more information on that?

Jordan is a key U.S. ally in the Mideast, but has crucial business ties with Iraq. Trade with Baghdad amounted to $700 million last year. The kingdom also receives all its daily requirement of 90,000 barrels of oil from Baghdad half of it at preferential prices and the rest as a gift from Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein

He must not be worried about getting his daily oil cut off. Especially if he's about to gain control of the spigot.

This is good news! Jordan will be a big help to us!

Queen Rania and King Abdullah of Jordan

Jordan has been a friend of the United States for a long time.

It does disturb me that any of our political figures would address this issue in public.

King Abdullah reigns over a nation that is overwhelmingly Moslem.  Beyond that his
citizenry is made up of former Iraqis and other people who would find his support of
the west to be disgusting.  The insensitivity to this reality that our public officials display
by addressing this in public, leads me to believe that they could care less if he were to
be Sadated.  Something is wrong with that.

The dealings between Jordan and the United States should be on background only!

Enough about Queen Rania. Regardless of how you feel about her she is gorgeous.

But the important thing is that Jordan has picked the right side in this conflict. We are beginning to see the French soften their stance and there is friction in Germany between the Socialists and the Green party on Iraq. GWB has played his hand well.
