I have had lots of respect for the Jordanian kings, who have been pragmatists of the highest order.

They sure are:


king Hussein shows his support for Saddam Hussein during the Iraqi occupation of Kuwait

It's pretty clear that Jordan thought the UN & US would wimp out and that Saddam's conquest was a fait accomplis. With a "big dog" like Saddam in the neighborhood, what would you have done??

Iraqi Woman Confesses on Jordan TV

AMMAN, Jordan

An Iraqi woman confessed on state television Sunday to trying to detonate explosives strapped around her waist while she was in one of three Amman hotels bombed by al-Qaida in Iraq.

"My husband wore an (explosives-packed) belt and put one on me. He taught me how to use it," said Sajida Mubarak Atrous al-Rishawi, 35, who appeared on television wearing a white head scarf, black gown and the disabled bomb belt tied around her waist.

Jordanian security forces on Sunday arrested the woman, whose husband is suspected of blowing up the Radisson SAS hotel, after being tipped off by an al-Qaida claim that a husband-and-wife team participated in Wednesday's attacks at three hotels that killed 57 other people.

Looking nervous and wringing her hands, al-Rishawi described the attack on the Radisson. The Grand Hyatt and Days Inn hotels also were bombed.

"My husband detonated (his bomb) and I tried to explode my belt but it wouldn't," she said. "People fled running and I left running with them."

Her husband, Ali Hussein Ali al-Shamari, 35, was identified Sunday as one of three Iraqi men who carried out the bombings.

I wonder what their next target will be? Syria? Iran? Who knows, maybe even Mecca itself?

Do they get virgins too?

On a serious note: I hope they lock her up and throw away the key.

I wonder if they had children?

I don't think so, but perhaps she has a "bomb in the oven".
