« Long Quote Of The Day | Main | Feds Indict Two In Anti-Aircraft Missile Sting »
November 10, 2005

Was the Target of the Amman Bombing the Palestinian Authority?

The Purple Avenger notes that a brigadier general in the PA's military intelligence branch was killed in the bombing.

Is that a coincidence? Or was he the target?

Thanks to cutaway.

It Hardly Needs To Even Be Said Update: A CNBC news producer says that the Amman bombing casts doubt on George Bush's anti-terrorism policies.

I didn't know that the DHS now had a branch office in Jordan.

Just curious-- if Bush is responsible for the bombings in Jordan, is he likewise responsible for the lack of bombings in the United States itself?

No?

Didn't think so.

Arab Street Update: The Arab Street is angry. At Al Qaeda.

Three terror bombings that killed at least 56 people in Jordan's capital sparked furious protests against al Qaeda on Thursday after a Web site carried a claim that the group was behind the attacks.

Jordanians flooded Amman blaring car horns and waving the nation's flag to protest the suicide attacks at three hotels with Western connections.

Hundreds of angry Jordanians rallied shouting, "Burn in hell, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi!" after the terrorist group he leads claimed responsibility for the blasts.

A CNBC news producer blamed Bush for Jordanian rage at Al Qaeda, until he realized it was a good thing, and then he said "Hey, what's that big spider doing on your shoulder?" and quickly sneaked off the set.

If Bush is responsible for the bombing in Amman doesn't that lead us back to the flypaper theory?

As for CNBC pontificating on politics, I find their even their financial advice questionable. I'm certainly not taking their political opinions seriously.

Zarqawi was waging a terrorist campaign against the Jordanian monarchy in the 1990's. Arafat and his band of merry men tried overthrowing the Jordanian king in the 1970's. The nut cases have long hated the Hashemite kingdom, even though Jordan extended help to the Palestinians, attacked Israel, and opposed the liberation of Iraq. The end-all, be-all explanation for why terrorists kill people or even why bad things like hurricanes happen is not George W. Bush.

Get on board, my friends. George W. Bush is responsible for all anger in the world, any time, any person or group. So is Cheney. And Hallibutron. And Rove.

More info on the PA general who got whacked.

The General was cooperating with IDF and Shin Bet

Connect the dots boys and girls. Occam's Razor says this was a hit.

The Short Unhappy Life of a Russian Soldier: Why recruits die in 20-30 minutes
Interesting video. Some key parts: drones were responsible for 70-80% of all battlefield deaths in mid-2025, and I bet it's higher now. The Russian army is incredibly corrupt. Men get assigned to the most dangerous frontline units, the "Storm" units, unless they pay a superior $2,000 to be assigned to a different unit. Furthermore, there is often no real training for recruits -- commanders pocket the money that would have gone towards fuel and ammo costs incurred during training. Much "training" consists just of taking a single picture of soldiers doing something soldier-y, like fording a river, and publishing that as proof that the training was done. Even when it is done, training is only two weeks long.

Update to the video of a Russian soldier being spun around and thrown by the machinegun he was operating: The soldier was testing an old, archaic Russian machinegun intended to be mounted to a helicopter. The old gun was pressed into service as a possible anti-drone gun. The Russian army is generally depleted and being forced to bring a lot of old, unreliable weapons and platforms to the front.
Also: Ukranian drones have destroyed damaged [CBD] over 147 Russian warships and shadow fleet oil tankers in the Black Sea over the past ten days.

FDA is providing an update regarding the sample of lettuce supplied by Taylor Farms de Mexico which was reported positive on July 18, 2026. Due to the complexity in detection of Cyclospora, FDA laboratory experts re-reviewed the sample results and have concluded that the finding does not represent true amplification and should be considered a false positive. Information about the sample has been removed from the July 18, 2026, update below. FDA has notified Taylor Farms and continues working with the firm to ensure product implicated in this outbreak has been removed from the market. FDA and state partners continue to collect and analyze product samples. As of July 19, 2026, there are no confirmed positive sample results for product testing for Cyclospora.
