AMMAN, Jordan — Just after nightfall Feb. 3, a warrant arrived at the city’s main women’s prison for the execution of Sajida al-Rishawi. The instructions had come from King Abdullah II himself, then in Washington on a state visit, and were transmitted from his private plane to the royal court in Jordan’s capital.

A clerk relayed the message to the Interior Ministry and then to the prisons department, where it caused a stir. State executions are complicated affairs requiring many steps, yet the king’s wishes were explicit: The woman would face the gallows before the sun rose the next day.

A somewhat long article that should be read in its entirety. It does not reflect well on Zero.

Or McCain, either.

In 2006, a judge sentenced Rishawi to be hanged for her part in Jordan’s worst terrorist attack: three simultaneous hotel bombings that killed 60 people, most of them guests at a wedding party.

Stupid headline. It implies that the King of Jordan was just taking revenge because she was ‘Zarqawi’s woman’. Buried further down in the article is this explanation which makes it clear that she had consumed oxygen for way longer than she deserved.

I have often posted that I have a solution. The King of Jordan knows the correct solution.

Looks like Barry. But, its not a burka. Its some other moslem thingy that moslem men make women like her wear instead of a paper bag.

Zero is insane, I cannot understand how it is that C0ngress hasn’t come to realize it.

IS there that much money in obeying orders?

Folks, ObamIt is insane, plain and simple the man is completely out of his mind, otherwise how can you explain his actions?

Yup. Any sympathy for her on this forum
is a good sign the article went unread.

I read it in its entirety and was disgusted all over again about the Jordanian pilot’s horrifying murder. But more so with the reception the King got from Hussein and McCain. He wanted help and was brushed off like a pesky fly by Hussein. I pray for the day this country gets an honorable and responsible president again.

The worst strategic mistake the West made in the 20th Century was paying for the oil in the Middle East. We should have gone in and taken it.

Instead, we showered trillion$ of dollar$ on savages, and are sending them a constant stream of further trillion$ at this very moment.

Result: obscenely wealthy savages, capable of threatening the entire world with their savage, idolatrous, murderous “religion.”

We had plenty of oil on our own, there was no reason to get involved in that god-forsaken part of the world.

“This time, war-weary America would refuse to help until it was too late.”

I don’t think the USA has had the heart to win a war since WWII.

IF one has a murderer from the other side, one executes immediately.

I read the entire endless article.

MAIN THING I NOTICED————

The author blames Bush for the creation of ISIS.

The author NEVER MENTIONS any part Obama had with regard to ISIS.

Not a word.
