		<description>People,

re the country of Jordan needing Awadallah.I say this.

if you think that awadallah is smart,powerful,highly connected.I assure you ,there exists  in Jordan now individulas who are  15 years younger than Awadallah,who are so conected on the global stage ,have credebility on par with awadallah even if not more.let&#039;s not fool ourselves and indulge in stupiditiy assuming the country can&#039;t run without  Awadallah .

one thing though about awadallah is  that he is defenitly &quot;Dynamic&quot;,no doubt about it,and that&#039;s a big plus.other than that I don&#039;t see him as smart ,nor a charcter of substance.but certainly &quot;Dynamic&quot;.

		<description>I came to my country Jordan in Jun 2004 and like any Jordanian I used to read the news about the achievements and the debates at time around Dr. Awadalleh. I have been working for an International Co in different Senior management positions across the Middle East and I chose to come to my country Jordan (my roots are from Ramallah-West Bank).

I managed to secure an investment in a project 2nd to non for Jordan on the ground of Queen Alia Airport. It took me 3 years of serious hard work from A-Z until final delivery of the project which was an absolute success that got adequate media coverage, in addition I managed to conclude MOU&#039;s with Head of Customs in Jordan (Mataab Zaban back then, General Jameel Sariara Chief of Staff and a few other Senior government officials; this was also covered all across the Jordanian Media). This created work opprotunities for around 40 Jordanians.

I requested for a meeting with his Majesty the King of Jordan in April 2008 after my project was up and running. In Aug I got the RHC calling me saying that Dr. Awadalleh would want to meet me.

I met Dr. Awadallah for the 1st time and for 20 min in his office. He exclaimed that his Majesty is aware of my company&#039;s project and that any support I or my company needs will be extended. At the time I presented to Dr. Awadalleh a personal written appeal to his Majesty the King of Jordan and I asked his assistance to deliver it to his Majesty and he promised that he would. It was myself seeking the help of his Majesty in obtaining my full Jordanian Nationality (I&#039;m a holder of a 2 year Jordanian passport for the past 30 years). 

After 20 days I get a call from the RHC that I have received a Royal Instruction ordering to grant me the Jordanian Nationality; I was pleased and overwhelmed and of course felt how generous was his Majesty in offering me the honor of the Jordanian Nationality. If it was not for Dr. Awadalleh, my appeal would have never reached his Majesty; this I&#039;m sure of.

Believe it or not up to this date and with myself having in writing a &#039;Royal Instruction&#039;, a Letter from PM, a letter from his excellency the Minister of Interior I still have my file stuck at the Intellignce and all what I&#039;m told in an interview with JID - &#039; ..we do not want to open the door to give others the Nationality..&#039; Can this be true..?

I have been in my company for 15 years (I&#039;m now 36 years old) and I can choose the country I want on the Middle East Map to go to through my expertise and management experience; I chose however to come to Jordan my country and I end up treated this way after delivering a 4 Million Euro project to my Country which is a unique project of its kind in our industry.

I can gaurantee you that if Dr. Awadallah was still in office, he would have done something about it. Unfortunately for me by the time my file reached JID he was out of office at RHC !

I tried to reach to RHC and no one would even respond back to me leave alone help me in carrying out his Majesty&#039;s Royal Instructions !!

Here I question if His Mjesty the King of Jordan has granted me the JOrdanian Nationality Who can take it away from me..?!

I will leave it for all of you to get the moral behind the story and if anyone can help me out with this or guide me in the right direction I woudl be grateful.

		<description>All what is said about bassem awadallah can be summariized in few words. Check who is his father and what he&#039;s been doing in the usa, and the circus he was working in. Bassem awadallah bahlawan has never liked the country and works only for his multi dollars fortunes. say goodbye to him . perhaps he finds a better country that suits a circus player</description>

		<description>مين ما اجا و مين ما راح المهم عنا صاحب القرار الاول و الاخير  ( جلالة سيدنا ابو حسين حفظه الله)...مع احترامي للجميع الا انهم فقط موظفين فلماذا نعطيهم اكبر من احجامهم ؟؟ موظفين لتنفيذ ارادة سيد البلاد و جنود للوطن .
و اذا اصبحت تلك عادة لدينا في ملاحقة تلك المناصب من حيث شخصية مشغليها او من يصلح لها و من يعجبنا و من لا يعجبنا فلا معالي ناصر اللوزي ولا غيره سوف يرتاح في تأدية مهامه في ظل هذا الضغط الكبير عليهم من الشعب و الصحافة و غيرها .
لنركز على العديد من الامور التي في اعتقادي اهم من ذلك بكثير ، حيث الفقر و عدم العدالة في تركيز الثروات و في اشغال المناصب الحكومية من قبل رجال او نساء البزنس الذين لم ينجحوا و لن ينجحوا في التركيز على شؤون الادارة و في تغليب المصلحة العامة على مصالحهم الاقتصادية الضيقة ولا الومهم اذ انني لو كنت صاحب شركة كبيرة و اتيت وزيرا فلا اعتقد انني سوف اركز في عملي الوزاري ان واجهت شركتي مشاكل او اصبحت الشركة في طريقها للخسارة .

		<description>Conclusion: Awadallah was a smart guy and a hardworker, but it was time for him to go. End of story
Prediction: The  &#039;liberalisation&#039; policy will continue, but with softened aspects.</description>

		<description>Although I do not live in Jordan, I have known Awadallah for over a decade.  There is a phrase that &quot;power corrupts - and absolute power corrupts absolutely&quot;.   In my oppinion corruption is losing one&#039;s moral compass. Doing things to serve one&#039;s personal interest above those o our fellow man.   Bassem lost his humility and his lust for power became insatiable.  He was very good at impressing the King and the powers that be.  Everyone else was expendible. He terrorised those that worked under him.  he could teach all of Machievelli, Rasputin and Stalin a few tricks.</description>

		<description>I agree in each and every single word said by the Observer. People must start to look forward for a prosperous Jordan, to look forward for Jordan free of discrimination and injustices. We need modern Jordan, to continue the progress of our development by our action, that how we can add value, not by criticizem and spreading baseless rumors and character assassination. Let&#039;s race toward civilization and prepare the next generation for Globalization.</description>

		<description>It is a shame to see people in Jordan have this strong discriminational stand against each other based on our origins! I remember a few months back when King Abdullah published a comment at very this blog thanking Naseem and commentators back then for being responsible citizens. I can now imagine his dismay now if he ever to read the comments in this thread. 

Maybe it is not a bad idea at all to drop family names from our national Ids! We want to build a modern country that respects all of its citizens regardless or their color, race, religion or country of origin. We should leave no room for narrow minded people full of hatred who are afraid on their current stand of power to restrict our movement.</description>

		<description>Attention all Jordanian: 

1. There are people who are just trying to piss you off? What are they trying to get out of criticizing you and by you i mean (Jordan, or His Majesty). Please Take a moment to reflect on their possible motivation will help put things into perspective for you.  It’s usually more about them than it actually is about you.

2. Forget about it. Don’t waste your time obsessing about the criticism, the person, or other people’s reactions.  Time you spend thinking about negative criticism is time you could spend doing something awesomely creative - like thinking of a new invention or what you’ll be having for dinner.  The more you think about negative stuff, the more that negative energy surrounds you and brings you down.  Let your thoughts go somewhere more positive - don’t let your criticizers have the power to get into your head.  You are better than that.

3. This is not a game of semantics. People who defend their criticism as “just trying to help” are full of it. There is a HUGE difference between destructive criticism and constructive feedback. What’s the difference? It’s a matter of respect, and it’s that respect that dictates how we interact with one another. If someone respects you, they will give you constructive feedback in a non-threatening way. If it’s coming at you in cutting and rude ways, that person has no respect for you.

4. Finally, Consider the Source. If you’re being criticized by someone who doesn’t matter to you, then why should their opinion matter to you? Recognize online haters for what they are. And what are they? Pathetic. You know who these people are. They get their kicks out of antagonizing others. They think they’re being smart, but really they’re just acting like immature bullies. Recognize them for what they are, and don’t let their poisonous criticism get to you.</description>

		<description>I personally think that some people are using big words and don’t quite understand their meaning. In summary, liberalism is an academic school of thought that believes everything should be left to market forces and that government should not interfere with these market forces. 

The Jordanian Government  have been working diligently on initiatives like Decent Housing for Decent Living which is subsidised housing, or trying to find aid to continue to subsidise certain commodities, or renovating villages and schools, or establishing a social safety net to protect the poor; all in direct conflict with radical liberal theory. That doesn’t mean that we are against privatisation or strengthening the private sector or increasing investment in the country, for we don’t subscribe exclusively to any one doctrine. Not liberal or conservative; not left or right; not old guard or new guard…Our only doctrine is the best interest of Jordan. 

Again, His Excellency Dr. Bassem, is surrounded by rumors, without any supporting proves, therefore unless one has a clear evidence, can not point or accuse him of anything as he did only good for the country and his Loyalty was proven to many in general and to his Majesty in particular otherwise he wont remain in the high level jobs for over eight years.</description>

		<description>It is extremely important that we all at least make a sincere effort to understand the level of challenges and opportunities; without resorting to negativities, rumors, character assassination and emotional arguments.I am extremely shocked and dismayed at the low level of debate transpiring in some elite and media circles. Currently the level of debate in Jordan has dropped to unacceptable levels with overdramatisation, rumours and opinions that are based on total ignorance of the issues; to the point where, even mature and lucid criticism is drowned out by rumours and ignorance.</description>

		<description>Alurdunialhurr, the king clearly knows what he is doing, and we in Jordan who knows our economy more than anyone else outside, support His Majesty;s vision and we trust his ability in overcome these tough economical times as His majesty clearly stated &quot;But there are things governments can do in the short term to mitigate the impact. In Jordan, the government has taken several measures to protect citizens against the high cost of living; we have increased the wages of public sector and military employees and retirees and encouraged the private sector to do the same; we increased the number of beneficiaries of national aid and increased their monthly share of aid; we provided incentives to encourage youth to be productive; we embarked on a large subsidised housing programme, Decent Housing for Decent Living, provided financial support for military and teachers&#039; housing funds and provided thousands of homes for needy families to counter the high real estate costs. The government has also interjected in the market in order to drive prices of basic goods as low as possible by subsidising certain goods directly, and reducing duties and taxes on other commodities and through selling at cost at civil and military consumer stores with more outlets in cities, villages and the badia, in addition to opening street markets. I am the first to admit that this is not enough and that we need to do more and we will do more, God willing. &quot;

Therefore, We are on the right track, and we will build, change and do all that necessary to continue to move forward, as we already did, and no one can deny it. and His Excellency Dr. Bassem was one of the leading men to put our country on the right track towards civilization.</description>

		<description>@20  Bedouins remain the backbone 
Where the **** did you get this report?
Care to mention a source?

I can make up...er...I mean quote the report in a better way if interested.

This so called report is clearly made up...let me explain why;
&quot;الملك تفاجأ بمحتويات التقرير &quot;
But then you say...
&quot;التقرير كتب من قبل أحدى اللجان الخاصة التي يتم تشكيلها عادة لمثل هذه الأغراض ويتم اختيارعناصرها من اشد الموالين للنظام&quot;
So this committee of so loyal men choose to &quot;surprise&quot; the king with this report and let Dr. Awadallah do as he pleases until they finish prinintg this report?


&quot;بعض ما جاء بالتقرير كان جلالة الملك قد بحثها مع عوض الله على انفراد في أكثر من مناسبة وكانت إجابات الأخير لجلالته بالنفي المطلق وان هناك مؤامرة من قبل منافسيه لتشويه سمعته أمام جلالة الملك .&quot;
So what you are saying is His majesty knew that Dr. Awadallah was corrupt but simply choose to take his word for it?

...Give me a break!

You do know that Dr. Awadallah held many sensitive positions over the years and the Mukhabarat knew about him for many years?
Don&#039;t even try to claim that such a report isn&#039;t written by the Intelligence dept. about EVERY minister before being appointed and approved so you better believe that everything mentioned in your claimed report would have been known and documented before Dr. Awadallah was appointed.


Stop spreading such baseless accusations and stop assuming people are idiots...if you want to accuse people of something then you need to provide proof.
Our Prophet (PBUH) says &quot;Al bayyanato 3la man edda3a wal yameen 3la man ankar&quot;</description>
