US embassy cable - 03AMMAN2069

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.

1.  (C)  PolCouns on April 3 and again on April 6 raised ref 
points on possible UNGA discussion of Iraq with Ali al-Ayed, 
Personal Assistant to Foreign Minister Marwan Muasher. 
PolCouns emphasized that, when the UNSC is "seized of an 
issue of international peace and security" -- e.g. Iraq -- 
the UNGA should not take up the matter.  Al-Ayed promised to 
convey the points to the minister, but noted that Jordan 
would be hard pressed to take a position different from the 
Arab Bloc consensus.
