Kendrick Meek: “Well, he could not go to the Jordanian embassy when he was here in Washington because if he went to the Jordanian…”

“Well, he could not go to the Jordanian embassy when he was here in Washington because if he went to the Jordanian embassy they would have arrested him on the spot. The embassy is Jordanian ground, just like our embassy is in Jordan, because they have a warrant for his arrest. But better yet, we are doing business with, again, a culture of corruption, cronyism and incompetence, period. One thing I also wanted to say, we are talking about a redeployment, i.e., how we are going to have an exit strategy. There are people that are running in a December 15 election that will be seated in March, and guess what is some of the platform. We want our own independence. There was actually a call for the U.S. to give their exit strategy. They are ready to go. So we are saying that we are there on behalf of democracy. Now they have a form of democracy. They are going to have it in March, and we are still saying they are not ready. Now we are in judgment of them saying they are not ready, but we are saying we want them to have a democracy. Just imagine if someone was to come over here to help us and say, well, we are not going to leave until we think you are ready to govern your own country. It goes against the very logic and principles even in our own Constitution saying that we want to help democratize other areas, and then when it comes down to it, U.S. cities are suffering and the money that we are spending over there.…”
