   1. "The Palestinian section of Jordanian society augmented by displaced Palestinians constituted a large internal population of Jordan, and King Hussein feared an independent West Bank under PLO administration would threaten the autonomy of his Hashemite kingdom." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_September_in_Jordan
   2. "Due to an internal split within the Jordanian government, many of King Hussein’s orders were not obeyed. Contrary to Hussein’s commands, many Jordanian commanders along the Israeli/Jordanian border started to give the Palestinian guerrillas passive assistance." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_September_in_Jordan
   3. "The Karameh battle boosted Palestinian morale and gave the PLO additional prestige within the Arab community. The fierce Palestinian guerrilla fighting and the Jordanian Artillery bombardment forced the IDF withdrawal and gave the Arabs an important moral win as Israel was calling their army the indomitable army and this was its first defeat at the hands of Arabs after the two wins in 1948 and 1967." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_September_in_Jordan
