Jordan’s King Abdullah ibn al-Hussein, who has trained as a pilot, may fly a bomber himself on Thursday in the country’s retaliation against the ISIS.
Several Arabic-language newspapers reported late Wednesday that the monarch would personally participate in bombing raids on the terrorist group, citing his vow Tuesday to “strike them in their strongholds.”
The king was in Washington when news broke Tuesday of pilot Muadh al-Kasasbeh’s demise at the hands of ISIS extremists. Meeting with the House Armed Services Committee shortly before leaving for Amman, he reportedly quoted the Clint Eastwood’s film “Unforgiven” and said that Jordan would pursue the jihadis until it ran “out of fuel and bullets.”
Rep. Duncan Hunter, who was in the meeting, told Fox News that given the ruler’s immediate and vehement reaction, “King Abdullah is not President Obama.”
Jordan, which has been a key American ally in the air war against ISIS, killed a number of ISIS-affiliated prisoners early Wednesday, as it had promised should Kasasbeh turn out to be dead, prior to the news of his immolation. Some have warned that the terrorist group deliberately deployed news of Kasasbeh’s fate in order to provoke a Jordanian overreaction. But public outcry in Jordan before and after the news seems to have pressured the government into a strong response, regardless of strategy.
Great news. This is a moslem deal . moslems killing sunni wahhabis. I don’t want any part of it. I don’t want to send troops ( been there done that) and I don’t want to print any more money for it. These rinos that want to go to war are phonies. Why? Has McCain ever see a war he didn’t want to kill Americans in? And Gramesty? These guys are jokes. CLOSE THE DAMNED BORDER!! OUR BORDERS!!
No kidding. </sarc>
Go get’em King!
And Obummer will ride in on his tricycle.
Bingo !
A leader in fatigues versus a loser on bike with a stupid helmet. It’s nice to see actual leaders lead.
Hot-damn! This is what I call leadership!
Hopefully warriors from Desert Storm will soon rise to the top here, followed a few years later by OEF and OEF troops.
“Compared to...”
The only uniform King Zer0 wears is his golfing shirts, shoes, and shorts. I think he even wears a bicycle helmet when he drives his golf cart.
There was a fundamental transformation of this country alright. We are lead by a boob.
Obama sure can be made to look so small. Too bad it takes the likes of those outside America’s media to get the word out.
Based on the map at #20, what would your attack be if you were Abdullah? What crafts will be be using? My first strike would be just inside of Iran, if possible, using a long-range, and make IS run West, hit again 50 miles from first strike, force them West some more until they mass up. IS is probably expecting him to strike their positions in Lebanon first.

Does he wear it with Reggie encounters.

I like this guy- he said the only problem he is worried about is running out of ammo and fuel
My hero.
Godspeed.
The concept of noblesse oblige is lost on many in the 21st century. Apparently it is not entirely dead.
No problem getting him more fuel, one call to the Saudis.
We should make sure he has all the ammo he needs, and more.
Win - Win.
As an American woman in possession of two spectacular boobs, I take complete offense to him being called a boob.
