Jordanian royal politics

Kabariti on Jordanian royal politics:  "Kabariti suggested that "the King needs more time" to learn how to govern, and said that all Abdullah wanted, before the passing of King Hussein, was to be head of the Army--"That was his long-term dream; he has never been groomed to be King". But he said that "the Queen adds to his insecurity as she does not trust any one." He added that "she is the last one to whisper in his ear" on most matters." (thanks Farah)
