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.”
By the way, the biblical aspect of this illustrates something about Jesus the King that we might otherwise miss. He personally defends his people. Okay, back from spiritual analogy city to this mortal coil. Go get um, King Abdullah.
Which King do you respect more, America's or Jordan's?
and the POTUS heads for the potty at the 9th..
I prefer ISIL as well because the nation is in the Levant and both Syria and Iraq are sundered forever

Halfway listening to TV when I heard someone call him A Warrior King. As was his father.
We have a nancy boy in mom jeans.
People want a decisive leader...right or wrong...We do not have that in the USA
Balls do Matter..Hey Obama,got any maybe 1.
That’s a long line of Hashemite hardasses, contrary to MSM chronically making them out to be like Rainier/Monaco. Hopefully they’ll make good use of US nearly tripling their wardaddy account...
I’ll trade you this thought- Abdullah is a Hashemite, and claims descent from Muhammed...How about Caliph Abdullah....
I take the suggestion is that he’s thinking that will get him in really good with Allah and that is why the heroics?
Well even if he did, he’s an illustration of something rare... I’m not even clear that Mad Mo was all that eager to get involved in his own dirty work. Why do that when he can get others rabid on his behalf?
Brilliant political theater and a smart counterpoise to Daesh’s efforts to undermine his legitimacy.
Sounds like the Varsity Team is suiting up to fight the Junior Varsity Team.
If you see a Black ISIS Flag, drop an MOAB on it.
When there are no more Flags, you’re done.
Exactly. He was probably silently cheering.
I’d love to know what his ‘closed to the press’ meeting with American Muslim groups was about in the WH today.
Or the first rule of governance - a government that does not protect its people from external threats has no right to rule.
“If you see a Black ISIS Flag, drop an MOAB on it.
When there are no more Flags, you’re done.”
I don’t think the Jordanians are to give too much of a damn about “Collateral Damage”.
That is a real leader in action. In WWII athough Theodore Roosevelt, Jr. was not a political leader, he was a Brgadier General, the only General Officer to accompany his men on the beach in the first wave on Normandy. Even with a serious heart condition, he was walking among the men under fire, armed with a revolver, encouraging the men to move forward. He believed if the men saw him, a One Star, under fire that things couldn’t possibly be that bad.
He also made the right decisions to salvage the landing when the original plan fell apart.
Some are destined for greatness. Some are destined to be community organizers.
Well I know, and any respectable government will try to do that. But with this king it is personal...
