As fires rage across the Mideast, a key man to watch is Jordan’s moderate King Abdullah II
In an article posted at Joel C. Rosenberg's Blog entitled “As fires rage across the Mideast, a key man to watch is Jordan’s moderate King Abdullah II.” Mr. Oraib Al Rantawi sounded alarm bells by noting that the ISIS threat to move its fight to the kingdom was real and imminent.
“We in Jordan cannot afford the luxury of just waiting and monitoring,” he cautioned. “The danger is getting closer to our bedrooms. It has become a strategic danger; it is no longer a security threat from groups or cells. We must start thinking outside the box. The time has come to increase coordination and cooperation with the regimes in Baghdad and Damascus to contain the crawling of extremism and terrorism.”
