The king was commenting on U.S. television on November 26, ahead of a visit to Amman by U.S. President George W. Bush.


The king said there's strong potential for three civil wars to break out in 2007, and he called on Washington to seek comprehensive solutions involving all regional players.

RFE/RL has been declared an "undesirable organization" by the Russian government.
