#4 Here is a hint: if you find your stuff out on the lawn (or on the other side of the Jordan River), it's over.

#5 How's this for irony - I'm at the Dead Sea right now and I can see the West Bank right now. My driver was born in Palestine but his folks came to Jordan in 1967. They assimilated and are Jordanian citizens now. My guy says the king is very well liked and is trying to make reforms. He also said, in his opinion, the MB and other radicals are not a factor here.

#6 Jordan should absorb the West Bank and the Holy Sites within to make them relevant. They can manage the Palestinians by controlling media access and preachers. The Pals can be divorced from their death cult. Won't be easy but its better than having a rabid dog on your border.
If I were Jordan I'd wait until after the Iranian/Israel crisis is resolved. Perhaps letting Israel know that the option might be on the table in the aftermath.

#7 He really is a decent King. The security apparatus is excellent and he really does care about his Country.

Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
