The Obama administration earlier this year turned down a request from Jordan for Predator spy drones that would help it locate targets in the war against the Islamic State.
The refusal, disclosed by a House Armed Services Committee, member, is gaining importance today since Jordan has emerged as a critical player in a U.S.-led coalition to destroy the terror group.
On Tuesday, the Islamic State released a video of its execution by fire of a capture Jordanian pilot. Jordan retaliated on Thursdaywith F-16 air strikes on the Syrian town of Raqqa and is vowing a relentless war against the Islamic State, also known as ISIL and ISIS.
Members of Congress are calling on the White House to approve a list of new weapons for King Abdullah, a strong U.S. ally.
Rep. Duncan Hunter, California Republican, on Thursday sent a letter to President Obama asking him to approve transfer of the Predators unarmed export version for surveillance missions.
The decision to deny the license request should be reversed immediately, Mr. Hunter wrote. Doing so will provide Jordan critical mission capability in the fight against the Islamic State and ensure Jordan is given every advantage.

“Id like to personally invite King Abdulla II to speak before a joint session of congress and he can ask for them then.”
Have King Abdulla and Bebe appear at the same time.
We’re already flying them out of Jordan. This is really about letting the Jordanians pick some targets.
Let every nation know, that Obama shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the complete destruction of the United States of America.
-a few words stolen from JFK.....
Jarret absolutely is in my view.
I understand that.
The article gives the impression that the issue was that we wouldn’t actually turn the drones over to them.
Like I said, I’d have issues with not giving the Jordanians access to the stuff from our drones. Just nothing that would compromise the encryption ...
"OBAMA IS HER PUPPET!"
Obama absolutely is Jarret's puppet in my view.
Understood.
I would be fine with them having some A-10s. The airframe itself is no secret and we could remove anything sensitive.
And then there’s that!
Of course.
When will Obama be arrested for treason? When will the dumba%^ses in Congress get a clue?
With no one in charge..
I have a real tin foil hat theory, but anything goes with these people. Maybe Jarrett is forcing BO to react like he is and threatening him with an inside take down job if he doesn’t comply. He may be scared to death of her and her own minions.
Obama and Jarrett protect ISIS, their “children”.
The video of the Jordanian BURNING alive has
Jarrett smiling.
Disgusting.
Disgusting is the right for both Obama and Jarrett and I’ll add sick.
Obama should just join Isis. I’m sure the terrorist think he helping them more from the White House.
I’m sure Russia has plenty of suitable military hardware to sell to Jordan.
Because Jordan might use them to defeat ISIS (Daesh) and how would that make Daesh feel?
