Till we run 'out of fuel and bullets': Jordan's king vows to crush ISIS

Jordan's King Abdullah, himself a former general, angrily vowed to pursue ISIS until his military runs "out of fuel and bullets," in a closed door meeting with U.S. lawmakers that followed the release Wednesday of a grisly video showing a captured Jordanian airman being burned alive in a cage by the terrorist army.

The pledge preceded the hanging of two Al Qaeda terrorists early Wednesday in Jordan, a swift response to the video that could be a mere harbinger of coming retribution from the Arab kingdom in the wake of the sadistic slaughter. King Abdullah's words were echoed by military leaders, who vowed an “earth-shaking” response, proportionate to the magnitude of the tragedy of all Jordanians.” But it was the words of their visibly shaken king, who commanded his nation's special forces before assuming the throne in 1999, that could foreshadow what is in store for the black-clad terrorist army whose atrocities have shocked the civilized world.

"He said there is going to be retribution like ISIS hasn’t seen,” said Rep. Duncan Hunter Jr., R-Calif., a Marine Corps veteran of two tours in Iraq and one in Afghanistan, who was in the meeting with the king. “He mentioned ‘Unforgiven’ and he mentioned Clint Eastwood, and he actually quoted a part of the movie.”

I’m surprised he didn’t shrug it off and go golfing like Barry does.....

Not every world leader is a wuss who hates his country as is Obama.

Way before 9-11, we should have responded decisively and forcibly against our attackers

So you think we should go to war before we are attacked but not after?

it was foolish to go into Iraq or meddle with any of these nations by trying to play referee or political evangelist to democracy

““These folks” are crawling all over America, building their f’n mosques and waiting for the opportune moment to create another 9/11 while our politicians are intentionally ignoring the danger.”

Intelligence reports tell us that most men have left these Islamvilles and gone to the ME to either fight or get terrorist training.

We have an opportunity to clean out these camps or deal with trained terrorists when they reenter America.

We WERE attacked in the 90’s and did nothing about it which emboldened our enemies and lead to 9-11.
