US embassy cable - 03AMMAN1745

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.

Classified By: A/DCM Doug Silliman for reasons 1.5 (B)(D) 
 
1.  (C)  Ambassador spoke with Foreign Minister Marwan 
Muasher March 23 to deliver ref points on the planned March 
24 Arab League ministerial meeting in Cairo.  The Ambassador 
asked that Jordan work to avoid statements or actions that 
would undermine current efforts to disarm the Iraqi regime 
and liberate the Iraqi people, and to help the meeting focus 
on support for a new Iraq. 
 
2.  (C)  Muasher responded that he was sure the ministerial 
would be "a bad meeting," especially "with Libya in the 
chair."  Consequently, he did not want to be associated with 
it and would not attend.  He said he did not expect "the Gulf 
Foreign Ministers" to attend.  Muasher said Jordan's 
Ambassador in Cairo will represent Jordan, and that he has 
instructions to avoid language that will undermine coalition 
efforts, and to encourage discussion of the future of Iraq.
