| Jordan Denies (insert issue here) |
| 2003-01-10 |
| The Jordanian government's latest official denial is that this month's joint military exercises with its long-time British allies have nothing to do with Iraq, which some Jordanian officials said they expected "after January." A mixed squadron of 14 RAF Tornado, Harrier and Jaguar warplanes have deployed in Jordan's southern desert for the 2-week exercise "Desert Thundercat." But the rule in Jordan is that "when the government denies anything, it means it's true." Kuwait and Iraq officials had a round of talks in Amman this week on the fate of Kuwaitis who went missing during Iraq's occupation. The meeting came just 10 days after the government vehemently denied that such a gathering would be in Jordan. |

| #1 Jordanian government officials, speaking on condition of anonimity, today denyed that there was any such place as Jordan. If there were such a place as Jordan, it certainly wouldn't be in the Middle East. The Cowardly Lion and the Scarecrow refused comments. |
