#1 Getting invited by Cheney is like being suddenly called into the principal's office. You have no clue whether it's for praise or an a** whooping.

"the two leaders reviewed their bilateral relations"

If Jordan has good relations, which it does, with the U.S., then why review them. This does not make any sense. But wait, until.....I read the Jerusalem Post.

Folks, this may not amount to anything but something big is going down. On the one hand, you have Cheney reviewing relations with Jordan. On the other hand, you have the Israeli Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz that had briefing with Jordan's Abdullah, yesterday. I can't remember the last time that a U.S. HIGH official and an Israeli HIGH official got together back to back with the leader of a Muslim country, just for the hell of it. Here is the link to the JPost article... The article contains a lot of political correct gibberish except for one sentence. I will quote it here "Describing the meeting as warm and fruitful, Mofaz discussed with the Jordanian king an array of issues that included the security situation in the region.

Also, I hear that ElBaradei is going to finally send the Iranian nuclear weapons issue to the U.N. Security Council for a vote. Perhaps, the reason why, as we read yesterday, that an Iranian ~~terrorist~~ diplomat wants to speak at the U.N. Bottomline, I think that some terrorist state or supporting state is about to get a ~~bunker buster~~ rude awakening. I could be wrong and/or wishful thinking.

#2 I liked the tie Cheney wore when beating up on Johnny Edwards. But it might clash with Abdullah's attire.

#3 I'm confused. The ARabNewsarticle showed a picture of Saudi Arabia's new King Abdullah.

#5 Looks like PR is the one confused. The Arab News article is talking about Abdullah of Saudi Arabia not Abdullah of Jordan.

Programs. Programs. Getcher programs. Can't tell an Abdullah without a program
