More on the “moderate Arabs” defeat

For the sec­ond day, Al-Quds Al-Arabi reported about the Jordan’s mis­cal­cu­la­tion in their rela­tion with the U.S., and Saudi Ara­bia try­ing to open com­mu­ni­ca­tion chan­nels with Iran.

The Saudi are not flirt­ing with Jor­dan as before, Olmrt’s gov­ern­ment is about to col­lapse, and finan­cial source; Kuwait is not inter­ested to give money for free.

The inter­est­ing thing is that Jor­dan throws all the blames on Maliki:

Jor­dan knows that Maliki is per­son who incites The U.S. against Jor­dan, and he is tak­ing hos­tile posi­tions from Jordan’s inter­ests, and refuses to rec­og­nize about 1 mil­lion Iraqi refugees in Jor­dan as Iraqi cit­i­zen, insists that they are Sun­nis con­nected to Sad­dam Hussein.

The sur­prise is that the U.S. adopted Maliki’s views.

As for the Al-Sharq Al-Awsat, the sec­tar­ian atti­tude con­tin­ues for more than a week that even Saudi oppo­si­tion writer Dr. Madawi said:

The Saudi media is a prod­uct of oil money, it’s agenda appeared very clear at the time of the Lebanese con­fronta­tion, where the Saudi media are try­ing to spread its “Fitna” poi­son by incit­ing sec­tar­ian tensions.

To show the level of dis­ap­point­ment and defeat by the so called “mod­er­ate Arab coun­tries”, the unex­pected hap­pened, Saudi news­pa­per Al-Riyadh and for the first time in years is now crit­i­cizes Bush pol­icy in the Mid­dle East saying:

Pres­i­dent Bush gives us lessons in democ­racy and human rights, but he is the first to break these ethics using force as a strate­gic goal as it hap­pened in Iraq …oppress­ing the free­doms in Palestine.
