| PA: Palestine may join Gulf Cooperation Council |
| 2011-05-18 |
| [Ma'an] Palestine may join the Gulf Cooperation Council when it establishes its statehood, a Paleostinian Authority official said Monday. Why not? It's closer to the Persian Gulf than Morocco. For that matter, they just call it the "Gulf" Cooperation Council, so maybe it's not specific to any particular gulf. PA cabinet chief Naim Abul Huomos said joining the council was important on political, economic and geographic levels. Jordan's decision to join the GCC encouraged officials to seriously consider the move, he added. Years of Paleostinian presence in the Gulf had built strong economic, political and social ties between the countries, Abu Huomos said, underlined by the Gulf's support for the Paleostinian cause. He added that Paleostinians had experience, expertise, a labor force and good capital in Arab states in the Gulf. The GCC was formed in 1981. On May 10 the council said it may admit Jordan and Morocco into the six-member group. |

| #1 ION PEOPLE'S DAILY FORUM > ARAB REVOLTS WILL BE WASHINGTON, DC'S DOWNFALL. ARTIC = The US cannot simply "sub-contract" its foreign policies to various Muslim countries, "Moderate" or pro-Radical, in the Middle East or elsewhere; a SUNNI-SHIA MIL CONFLICT will be the bloodiest war the ME will ever see i.e. worse than anything seen or experienced in the Cold War Arab-Israeli Conflict. MORE BLUNTLY, ME JASMINE UPRISINGS = SUDDEN OR UNEXPECTED, "LEGAL" RISE OF OWG/ISLAMIST CALIPHATE [Nuclear?] due to Radical Islamism's possible formal electoral takeover of a number of regional Muslim Govts-States + espec their Nucprogs??? Internally, Radical Islam's prob then devols towards WHAT ISLAMIC/ISLAMIST -ISM(S) WILL DE FACTO CONTROL OR DOMINATE SAID SAME CALIPHATE. |
