#3 Oy, the joy. Instead of a democratic domino, an islamofascist domino.

Bravo!

#4 does this make sense strategically? At this point the jihadis are throwing their utmost into stopping the Iraqi elections. Why divert forces to Jordan?

More likely
1. Its the usual need to keep a plan in the drawer for any eventuality
2. Its an excuse to crack down domestically
3. Its a dig at the new Iraqi democracy

#5 Oy, the joy. Instead of a democratic domino, an islamofascist domino.

Bravo!

Aris,
be careful with expressing your joys.
besides for the joys being indicative of the man,
you may find a couple of guys from the notorious
Jordanian secret service knocking on your door tommorow :)

#6 Aris, lemme explain...
Domino has 2 relevant sides. The other 4 are just an expression of depth. Paint one side islamofascist, paint the other democracy. Knock the first one so that democracy is on top and islamofascist side down. Dominoes fall, turning the democracy side up.

Simplification, I know. But since you live, apparently, in Flatland, I had to.

#7 The Jordanians will treat the Baathists just like they did the Palestinians and Black September. There will be fewer cockroaches to scuttle back to Syria if this comes to pass.
