Jordan confirmed on Wednesday that The Jordanian King Abdullah II will participate personally on Thursday in conducting air strikes against the shelters of the terrorist ISIL organization to revenge the execution of the Jordanian pilot Maath al-Kassasba by the ISIL.
Media outlets reported the King Abdullah II as saying The war against ISIL will not end and we will fight them in their shelters.
Good for King Abdullah! For reference, President George Washington was the first and last president to lead troops in harms way (The Whiskey Rebellion).
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.
WOW I didn’t see that I haven’t check out CNN international yet
I remember that episode I did watch Star Trek voyager I do remember it was alternative history of Star trek
You idiots cheering him on realize he’s NO friend of Israel, and a muzzie at that right?
(waiting to be called a troll by the peanut gallery...yawn)....
Our "man" in charge:
Google Abdullah Netenyahu images and you will see hundreds of photos of them looking friendly and relaxed together.
Lookie here. .a leader.
You’re telling me to believe the MSM now?
ROFL.....
Hitler & Stalin were pals too for about two years in WWII.
Also that is a perfect description of Obama. What is your point?
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.
