Mitch,

You did notice the Jewish star the demonstrator put on the Jordanian flag, right?

How about instead of crying quagmire, we cry that the Islamic Shi'ite government we made possible in Iraq is not going to be the West-loving friend of Israel Wolfowitz promised?

No safer than we were before,

Look again, Slash: it's the seven-pointed Hashemite star. It's part of the flag. I'm sure you being an Ivy Leaguer and all, though, you knew that.

The shi'ite state is not going to be the Iranian puppet you yourself predicted, and it damn sure isn't going to support international terror.

We weren't safe before.

Er, hold on here.

This morning, when I looked at the picture, it DID look like a legit Jordanian flag.

Looking at it on a better monitor, I'm not quite so sure.

Let me get back to you on this one.

Mitch,

I may have only the one Ivy League degree, unlike our beloved plain spoken leader, and I'll admit I didn't take any math classes in college, but I'm looking at the picture, and I count a six-pointed star which looks entirely like the Jewish Star of David to me. I'll also admit to wearing glasses, but it does not look like the Jordanian star:

Maybe the demonstrator is mad because all those unsecured looted weapons ended up in Jordan.

Maybe if we torture him, he'll tell us.

Note both the timestamp on my comment, and the update.

OK, slash - so on the one hand, a bunch of morons have failed to throw off four generations of hating Jews.

On the other hand - you seriously think that a couple of yahoos burning a doctored flag is as bad as having a Saddam Hussein in power, with carte blanche to do anything he wanted?

Wishing aside, Slash - how on earth do you figure?

The world’s biggest display of priceless diamonds has been abandoned by the Natural History Museum after police uncovered a plot to steal the jewels. The museum has permanently closed the display - billed as the 'largest and most spectacular diamond exhibition ever staged' with immediate effect boxesbymele com.
