#1 "reaffirmed their commitment to peace and security in the region"

They've finally dropped the bogus "stability" canard, I see. First sign of "progress" amongst the Kingy Thingy Krowd in the M.E. - the real progress has been over their soon-to-be dead bodies...

#2 I'm astounded that the descendant of the former rulers of Mecca and Medina could stomach even being in the same room as that upstart Saudi. I like to think that both were on edge looking for the hidden knife in the other's hand.

#3 In due time, TW... Hashemite is patient and the revenge will be sweet. Although, the comment about knife is right on the mark, IMHO.

#4 I have to wonder what the Hashemites will do to the whabbists if and when that day comes? The Saudis will do anything to stay in power and spread their brand of Islam. Why is is the King of Jordan doing about that besides that great big Flag?

#5 SPoD, Hashemite is handicapped at the moment he does not have oil and oil=money. I suppose that he does what any crowned head would do in his place--he schemes. Of course, his hope is that the current ME upheaval may cause some effects, one of which may be dissolution of Saudi entity (nothing's eternal). He also presumed that he may become a king of post-Saddam's Iraq (which would provide some supply of oil and thusly moolah), so far that did not pan out, I think he overestimated Iraqi interest in the matter. He waits. If not him, his son or a grandson.
