Jordanians react..

Three terror bombings in Jordan killing scores of people have sparked furious protests against al Qaeda. Jordanians flooded Amman blaring car horns and waving Budweiser coupons entitling them to a free bottle of Budweiser.

"Oh my God, oh my God. Is it possible that Arabs are killing Arabs, Muslims killing Muslims? Isn't that the job of the US and it allies?" wailed 31-year-old Najah Muasher, a daily wage worker, who lost her lover in the bombing. "I always thought that killing innocent Muslims as war collaterals was the privileged domain of western powers, I can totally dig that, but I cant for love of all that is good understand how a Islamic fundamentalist think of killing us for supporting Christian domination?" said Mausher. When CNN television crews interviewed her, she ended up saying "This is not Islam, Islam does not teach this, it is terrorism" and collected 100 dollars as reward for saying those words on camera.

Hundreds of angry Jordanians rallied, shouting, "Burn in hell, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi!" after Donald Trump fired Zarqawi for failing as a project manager in a task that involved killing the most Muslims. In the board room meeting, Trump said Zarqawi did a horrible job and lost miserably to US Army in killing the most Muslims. Trump ended saying "Zarqawi, you just don’t get it, you are fired"

In Washington, President Bush showed his displeasure during his weekly press briefing, "This is unacceptable, first we lose our high tech jobs to engineers in India, and now we are losing our edge in killing Muslims across the world to these terrorists, this is just unacceptable". President Bush warned the Jordanian Prime minister against awarding the reconstruction permit to anybody other than Halliburton. He said, "In these times of the need for reconstruction, you either award the contract to Halliburton, or you are with the terrorists". Jordan, a close ally of Washington, immediately passed an ordinance banning all construction companies other than Halliburton.

The mood of many Muslims was best summed by 12-year-old Abu Akhras, who lost his father. "My father always wanted to die in a friendly fire incident, or a smart bomb dropped on a marriage party by a trigger happy F-16 pilot, these terrorists have put an end to that dream. I hope that I will someday be able to fulfill my father's dream by dying the way he wanted - in the hands of American imperialism"
