Jordan will have the backing of Israel Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Turkey, and of course the US - not that US support means very much while Obama is in office.

They will soon find out the dangers of trying to fight on too many fronts at once.

President Cruz will make a hard right. President H.R. Clinton? Not so much.

They have new recruits coming from as far away as Minnesota, Africa, Malaysia and Indonesia every day.

Jordan will fold like the cheap suit it is... this article indicates a lack of understanding of the middle east in general and the blood thirsty caliphate seeking ISIS (using ISIL just avoids referencing a previous pagan religion).

Although he’s a foreigner, he’s writing for a Jordanian newspaper and probably knows where his bread is buttered.

I might suggest you do a little research on Jordan, their people and especially their King.....
You cannot be more wrong....

The only reason they’ve lasted so long in Syria is because they had our help and then they beat the big guy in Iraq who looked tough but couldn’t fight. That inflated their egos and trying to fight Jordan will bloody or break the nose of ISIS.

The king is 52 years old. He's British special forced trained, speaks with a British accent, rides a Harley, does rock climbing and has a smokin hot queen. And most important he's a MINO who is as close to the Israelis as he can reasonably be.

Highly unlikely. Israel will back them along with others in the region.
ISIS/ISIL or whatever you want to call them, will soon bite off more than they can chew and they will be rolled up rather easily. Their conquered “territories” will gain them very little in manpower that is reliable and they will eventually realize their limitations.

Yes. That’s why it is/was important to understand the chosen name ISIS in Arabic, that is Islamic State in Iraq & (Al Sham). The accurate/direct translation is Not ‘Islamic State in Iraq & Syria’. It is the Islamic State in Iraq & the Levant. Al Sham in the Arab world would be immediately understood as ‘Greater Syria’ (the Levant). Syria in Arabic is ‘Souriya’.

The greater Caliphate. I wonder if 1 out of 100 Westerners know the meaning of that?
