Here’s a loaded statement from SFGate.com regarding the Amman bombing:

Singling out Jordan for punishment increases pressure on King Abdullah’s steadfast support for the U.S. war on terror and his refusal to break ties with Israel, even at the height of the Palestinian uprising.

What is the implication here? That Abdullah should break ties with Israel? Did SFGate already forget that 4 high-ranking Palestinian officials were killed in the Amman bombing?

The Palestinians killed in the Amman blasts include Bashir Nafa, the PA’s West Bank intelligence chief, as well as the PA’s cultural attache in Egypt, the former Palestinian Interior Ministry director general, and a senior official in Abbas’ office.

Meanwhile, all Palestinian organizations condemned the series of bombings in Amman, referring to them as “terror attacks.” Abbas also spoke with Jordan’s King Abdullah on the phone and expressed his condolences.

This is the best SFGate has to offer while Jordanians are chanting, “Burn in hell, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi!,” and Palestinians are condemning the atrocities?

By the way, the “Palestinian uprising” has pretty much been ended by well-targeted Israeli missiles. The king has rightfully criticized the Palestinian leadership, and knows that the long-term viability of Jordan lays with the West, not with the jihadis. That’s why he has seen economic and security cooperation with Israel strengthened.
