AMMAN, Jordan (CNN) -- The televised confession of an Iraqi woman -- accused of planning to be the fourth suicide bomber in last week's deadly attacks in Amman -- has shocked Jordanians, with some expressing joy over her capture and others venting anger over her plans.
Many others were also on Monday asking if Saijida Mubarak Atrous al-Rishawi really was involved in the bomb plot that killed 57 people in Wednesday's attacks on the Radisson SAS, Grand Hyatt and Days Inn hotels.
Al-Rishawi achieved global notoriety on Sunday after she was detained and later filmed on Jordanian television describing how the attacks were planned. (Watch: Jordanians get to see and hear alleged bomber -- 2:29)
"My husband detonated his bomb, and I tried to detonate mine but failed," she said on Jordanian television. "People fled running, and I left running with them."
She stood up to display a belt that she and investigators said she had planned to use in the attacks.
Wearing a white head scarf and black dress, she described with apparent calm her role in a plot to kill herself and others.

I'm going to beat the anti-westerns to it:
It's a Zionist plot......no wait it a CIA plot.......no wait again......it's GWB and his thirst for oil....then again maybe just maybe is the NWO.
The above is a photo of damage to the Hyatt from the recent bombing. We are being told that this bombing attack was carried out by "suicide bombers" wearing explosive belts. We are being told there is no truth to initial reports that the bombs were hidden above the ceilings (or that Israelis were yet again given advance warnings to leave).
Take a look at this photo. Does that look like a bomb went off about waist-high, or in fact exploded downward from the ceiling.
Where is the blood splatter? If you wrap a belt around yourself like the one they claim and detonate it, you make a really big gooey bloody mess. The wall is clean.
Is the "confession" a repeat of the infamous phony "Kuwaiti nurse"?

Before Baby Bush's crusade, Iraqi women did not go to Jordan to blow themselves up in crowded public areas.
We've successfully destabilized the entire Middle East, even moreso than it was already. Do we get a cookie?
This is unprecedented. Never before, to my knowledge, has an Iraqi woman travelled to a nearby nation to blow herself up to prove a point.
What we allowed our corporate stooge politicians do in Iraq is such a shame, I don't think we'll ever live it down.

They had to know situations like this would arise. Just accetable losses to them.

I'm not sure what you are saying about the Iraqi woman, however, that makes her so unique.. The fact that she blew herself up, or the fact that she did it outside of Iraq, or...?
Remember, she did it on her own. It was her own choice. How can that possibly be the fault of American politicians?
