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.

Russia is back.....What a wonderful world
Al-Bayan writer Amrabi aks if the Arab adjusted their policies to the Russian - American new power struggle and how can they benefit from??

Russian comeback will effects our region and issues:

Arab nationalist writer Nahid Hattar in his article "wonderful world, Russia is back" counts the positives of the Russian comeback:

Syria will be able to return to strategic balance policy with of "Israel". A policy that is now more realistic than ever, with the growing strength of Hezbollah. The Russian comeback will harden Damascus positions on foreign policy........No longer possible to talk about the withdraw of Hezbollah's arms in Lebanon or change the equation in Lebanon.

A boost for Hamas role in the Palestinian arena at the expense of Abbas "authority".....Modern Russian weapons will flow to Iraq and serious difficulties will face the American army in the ability of Iraqi fighters to destroy tanks and vehicles and helicopters, just as happened with the Israeli army in South Lebanon 2006.

American army recruits Egyptians
According to Egyptian website Al-Mesryoon, last two months there was a campaign in America to recruit Egyptians as interpreters in the American forces and to be sent to Iraq.

Egyptians in problems with the immigration office receive SMS messages or telephone calls ask them to think about this "job opportunity" and the green card.

Saudi intelligence hacked a Jordanian left site
Saudi Arabia intelligence hacked the Jordanian website "Left Jordan" owned by Jordanian writer Nahidh Hattar.

A statement on the website says:

We will back soon.

New equation in the Middle East
Two speakers in the American Democratic Convention attacked Saudi Arabia. That means we will see a real new Saudi era and a new equation in the Middle East.

Hillary Clinton

The biggest deficit in our nation's history. Money borrowed from the Chinese to buy oil from the Saudis.

Brian Schweitzer

At the same time, billions of dollars that we spend on all that foreign oil seems to end up in the bank accounts of those around the world who are openly hostile to American values and our way of life.

Maliki and Hashimi agreement to disband the Awakening militias
Even with Maliki's government denial of targeting the "Awakening Councils", but the evidence existed since few weeks ago.

Nothing new in LAtimes report "Iraq seeks breakup of U.S.-funded Sunni fighters", all the information are reported on this site about six weeks ago "Maliki to disband Awakening Councils".

At that time an Iraqi website added that it is an agreement between the Sunni Islamic Party and Maliki to prevent the "American Militias" from forming political blocs competes against the IP.
