#1 "The important thing is the fact that King Abdullah is willing to allow coalition supplies to move through Jordan."

A point not missed by Al Qaeda, especially Zarqawi. They claimed the attack meaning they have better information than we do, as we are just hearing about it. Wise and courageous of the King.

#2 It would be strategically smart to run another supply rout through Jordan. I take with salt, but it does make sense if Jordan allows it.

#3 Every few days, a US supertanker puts in at the Jordanian Red Sea port of Aqaba and transfers the oil to escorted overland convoys cutting through the Hashemite Kingdom to US forces in different parts of Iraq.

Talk about bringing coal to Newcastle.

#4 Mistranslation. Should be "fuel", as in "refined products ready to go into Bradleys etc.".

#5 Jordan showing it is in "the war on terror." Not an easy thing to do.

#6 This is old. Jordan has been a supply line into Western Iraq since the first day Coalition forces entered.
