US embassy cable - 02AMMAN6227

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

SUBJECT: 57TH UNFC: DEMARCHE ON IRAQ'S DEPLETED URANIUM 
RESOLUTION DELIVERED TO JORDAN 
 
REF: STATE 209797 
 
(SBU) On October 24, PolCouns and Poloff delivered reftel 
demarche on Iraq's DU resolution to Ayman Aamiri, Deputy 
Director of the MFA's IO Department.  Aamiri noted that in 
2001 Jordan had voted for the resolution in the First 
Committee, but then abstained in the final UNGA vote. 
PolCouns underlined that, this year as last year, the U.S. 
viewed the Iraqi resolution as a transparent propaganda ploy, 
that the scientific evidence on the subject has already been 
clearly established, and that we want to see the matter 
settled in the UNFC vote.  To that end, we hoped Jordan could 
oppose the resolution in the UNFC.  Aamiri promised to convey 
our points to Jordan's Mission in New York.
