'Kill our pilot and we'll execute ALL your prisoners': Jordan 'says it will hang its ISIS captives'

I feel that this young pilot is the son of someone important in Jordan.

[fatnotlazy]

I agree. But my point is these lunatics won’t care. Human life means nothing to them.

[RinaseaofDs]

Maybe, but Jordan’s hip deep in the kind of Islamism that destabilizes governments. The King and Queen down there aren’t stupid, and they are western educated. Beside Israel, Jordan’s the only place in the region you can reliably put a branch office in and not worry about having it bombed out.

islamists only respect strength, not weakness. It was ever thus. This is the rule for all tyrants and tyranny. The Russians will sign any piece of paper you shove in front of them - after making a huge show over negotiating the terms. After the ceremony, they drop the thing in the shredder and do what’s in their national interest, for example.

I’m willing to bet though that these terrorists won’t be unnerved by such a threat. To them the cause is more important. Amy of their members who are prisoners in Jordan will be held up as martyrs.

Okay. I agree. Now, they need to change their way of thinking.

They need to be Re-Educated. Jordan's response (if they follow through...) will be a lesson for these animals.

We need fewer pajama boys and more men with... Guts.

I hope Jordan has the internal fortitude.

Obama doesn't.

Now THAT’S what I’m TALKING ABOUT!

[X-spurt]

Good for Jordan!

Bet it works.

[X-spurt]

Just like the gangbangers here, THEIR life means a lot to them. You don’t see the ISIS bigshots strapping on the suicide vests.

[Qiviut]

It was a fair swap; motivated, fanatical, high level generals for a deserter private...

Besides, they were just “armed insurgents”, not terrorists .....

[bgill]

That’s how it should be done.

[IronJack]

Eye-for-eye diplomacy. Hurrah for Jordan.

Don’t just execute them. Behead them — on Youtube!

[Turbo Pig]

But don’t the Jordanians realize that someone might call them Islamophobic if they do this?

Worse yet, it might make the islamists hate them and want do something to them.

[Jim Noble]

The enemy soldiers at GITMO, being in flagrant violation of the Geneva Convention and thus having forfeited its protections, should have been hanged as soon as no further useful information could be obtained from them, and any still living in January 2009 should have swung no later than 11:59 am on 1/20/09.

Bush’s fault.

[chesley]

Do like Lady Gaga, a meat robe (ham,of course), and a turban made from raw pork, glued together with lard.

Then you go to war with those new recruits and annihilate them and the rest of the enemy until there are either no more enemies or those that remain are no longer inclined to take up arms against you.

Any other course of action is pointless, IMO. If you simply fret and wring your hands that some “action” will only spur more recruiting and you believe that same “action” is counterproductive, even though it is the blatantly obvious course of action to take, then you have already surrendered to fear and cowardice, IMO.

[Genoa]

Any other course of action is pointless.

Yes, I'm just saying basically the same thing: They won't give up after just one spanking. Everyone needs to know what to expect. It won't be over easily. Israel's current government knows this, by the way.

[danamco]

Should have happened here at GITMO and in the U.K. tenfold for every person they have beheaded over there, period!!!

[ansel12]

The Western world doesn’t have a Muslim King ruling it.

Power is what is important to them, and this could easily slow down recruiting, which hurts their power base. There's also the aspect of leaders being caught and executed.
