Good for King Abdullah! For reference, President George Washington was the first and last president to lead troops in harms way (The Whiskey Rebellion).

That's right he was but St-Jean Philby was known to TE Lawrence butwas not aware of the treachury of Philby until he got to Paris in 1919 and realized that his efforts in the middle east were in vain: The middle east were divied up by centers of western influence with the French getting the western levant, americans Saudi Arabia and Brits Iraq. The french only realized later that they were played by the brits and americans given that oil was discovered in Saudi Arabia by Americans and Philby convinced the Brits that there was nothing there. He was a double agent in the pay of American intelligence services, just like his son. He was even a convert to Islam. This US connection came through his meeting with Allan Dulles who would one day run the CIA.

This guy Philby was a piece of work but still an incredible story. He outmaneuvered everybody. Gertrude Bell who was an intel agent and his controller for the Brits in Baghdad was also played.

Very interesting article:

This may seem great, but what if he gets shot down and captured? That would not only be the end of him, but possibly the end of his whole country. I applaud his bravery, but there are big risks here.

It’s so rare for a plane to get shot down, he’s probably safer than he is riding that motorcycle !

I can’t find anything that says he is a pilot.

“”King Abdullah has listed sky diving, rally racing, scuba diving, football, and science fiction among his interests and hobbies””

I recall seeing a documentary on Abdulla some years ago where his brothers parachuted into some mountainous spring area in Jordan to join him, but he was “not allowed” to do it since he was King.

Maybe he’s ruled that all bets are finally off.

Google Abdullah Netenyahu images and you will see hundreds of photos of them looking friendly and relaxed together.

It’s obvious that you know very little about him.

He’s a muslim, and won’t tolerate Israel defending themselves unilaterally.

Educate me on what else is there to know about him?

Do your own research. You won’t believe anything that you’re told.
