Thanks to Biker for the heads up on the NewsMax piece (dateline 1/26/05) which addresses comments by Mr Zaid El-Rifal, president of the Jordanian Senate. However, the Eagle report is on comments made by King Abdullah II (dateline 1/27/05)) ... I think a King still captures a pawn.
ReplyDeleteThe King's comments were oriented around small democratic reforms within Jordan; whereas the context of the Senator's remarks were centered on the elections in Iraq and the here and now in the Middle East.
The Senator is further refuted by the evidence of the Afghan and Palestinian elections.
