#1 The Jordanians do love to kiss ass and take names. Too bad they're rarely on our side, but I have to cheer this.

Didn't they also kick some Syrian armored butt back in the 70's?

#2 I read that many years ago some Palestinians hijacked and blew up a few Jordanian jetliners. Jordan responded by firing heavy artillery on the Palestinian refugee camps where the terrorists had been based, driving thousands deep into Lebanon and killing more Arabs in a matter of days than Israel has over the course of decades.

So, no... Jordan don't screw around with internal dissent!
