President Bush is planning to introduce sanctions against Syria, in part because of those WMDs that allegedly came from Syria in the foiled Jordan chemical-terror plot. Plus, they support terrorists and stuff. Looks like Syria is working hard to fill the vacancy in the “axis of evil.”
Yeah — but now Jordan’s King Abdullah, already touring the US since last week, has cancelled out on President Bush!. (Steamed about his support for Sharon’s unilaterist One-way Roadmap To Peace Through War.) Taken together, these stories may weaken the theory of the Syrian WMD Nab In Amman as mere Jordanian PR in runup (kissup?) to the monarch’s Meet with the now-snubbed President.
On an inappropriately Lighter note - AP excerpt:
A statement from the palace late Monday said Abdullah had instructed his foreign minister to remain in Washington to continue discussions with officials in the Bush administration and to prepare for the king’s return to the United States in May.
Return of the King: the Sequel. (His Paragornic Majesty scolds Wrongtongue for Fibbing. Again. No no no. :) Rmmph. :>
