Members of the House Armed Services Committee met with Jordan's King Abdullah Tuesday not long after news broke that ISIS had burned to death a Jordanian pilot captured in the fight against the terrorist group.

Good quote from Eastwood in “Unforgiven”.
“Any man I see out there, I’m gonna kill him. Any son of a bitch takes a shot at me, I’m not only going to kill him, I’m going to kill his wife and all his friends and burn his damn house down.”

Let’s see if our Terrorist sympathizing POTUS is ready to be a reliable partner for Jordan.

Hunter said “there was no mention of President Obama during the bipartisan meeting, either by King Abdullah or by any of the lawmakers in the room.”

Very Interesting, a prophetic statement on the Obama era, “No mention of him”.

Qouting Clint Eastwood is a poke at Obama. After Eastwood blasted the boy prince at the convention and then made a movie about a American Hero, Obama has to have old Clint in his sights. Bravo to the King of Jordan.

They're starting tomorrow. And he said, 'The only problem we're going to have is running out of fuel and bullets.'"

I might need to reconsider my opinion of King Abdullah.

King Abdullah is half British by birth and might just turn out to be somewhat of a Churchill if provoked sufficiently. “The only good Muslim is a bad Muslim” is a favorite saying of mine. The king is a bad Muslim.

To become a fighter pilot in those countries, you have to have family connections at the highest levels. ISIS didn’t just kill a pilot, they specifically targeted a ruling house. They were making a point that ISIS is not a “respecter of persons”. This was a shot at ALL of the ruling families of the Middle East.

I have been waiting my entire life for an American president to say those words!

(the closest we came was Bush standing on the rubble after 9-11)

(90%+ approval afterwards)

Then he decided to fight again with both hands tied behind out backs.

A bipartisan meeting with US Congressmen and no mention of Obama?

Good!

Maybe the Congress can remember that they have a pen and a phone, too. Totally bypass the bastard. Tit for tat.

Isn’t amazing that the whole world is starting to get it, while “the beacon of freedom” is lead by an idiot/appeaser.
