Jordan hangs 2 terrorists, vows 'earth-shaking' response to grisly ISIS video
Fox News ^ | 02/04/2015

Jordan hanged two terrorists early Wednesday, in a swift response to the release of a video showing ISIS burning alive a captured air force pilot, and vowed an “earth-shaking” response to the terror group’s sadistic slaughter.

Jordan's King Abdullah, who was in Washington for a diplomatic mission when the video depicting the horrific death of Lt. Muath al-Kaseasbeh hit the Internet, met with lawmakers and then President Obama after getting word of Al-Kaseasbeh's death. Although the meetings were private, lawmakers said Abdullah, a former military general and special forces commander who has ruled the Arab nation since his father's death in 1999, was angry and resolute.

"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.”

The retribution began even before King Abdullah returned to Amman, as Jordan executed two key Iraqi Al Qaeda operatives at dawn Wednesday. One was Sajida al-Rishawi, a woman who had been sentenced to death after her 2005 role in a triple hotel bombing that killed 60 people in Amman. The other was Ziad al-Karbouly, an Iraqi who served as an aide to Al Qaeda in Iraq founder Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.

IS IS arises and beheads Americans and executes countless other non Americans. They kidnap and rape. Their acts of mindless brutality have few comparisons. They are acting out on “convert or die.” Frequently, its even convert and die anyway.

One Jordanian airman is sadistically killed, and the country promises “earthshaking” reprisal. The White House orders symbolic air attacks.

What is missing in this scenario?

Anybody remember BLACK SEPTEMBER?

Black September refers to the Jordanian Civil War that began in September 1970 and ended in July of 1971.

The conflict was fought between the two major components of the Jordanian population, the Palestinians represented by the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) under the leadership of Yasser Arafat and the native Jordanians represented by the Jordanian Armed Forces under the leadership of King Hussein.

At its core the civil war sought to determine if Jordan would be ruled by the Palestine Liberation Organisation or the Hashemite Monarchy.

Anyway, the Hashemites won Armed conflict ended with the expulsion of the PLO leadership and thousands of Palestinian fighters to Lebanon.

The death toll was 20,000 Palestinians and 600 Syrians. Needless to say, the Jordanians showed no mercy when they wiped them out.

I won’t be surprised if Jordan repeats the same thing today.

Well... at the end of the day he’s a Moose too.

They ain’t all pals to one another, they have factions that try to grab control, and hostilities continue between two rival sects. Still, Jordan is a model of sanity next to ISIS.

Grab a box of Jordan Almonds and watch the show.

Probably said Clint was right when it comes to Obama and an empty chair.

Deuteronomy 2:19
When you come to the Ammonites, do not harass them or provoke them to war, for I will not give you possession of any land belonging to the Ammonites. I have given it as a possession to the descendants of Lot.”

If I were to release them, I would offer them a cup of tea before their departure. A tea with a certain “glow”.

Anything to help you find them so you know where to unleash the CBUs

The kingdom of the Ammonites was East of Jordan, where the Nation of Jordan is today. The capital is Amman.

Being descendants of Lot, their territory was given to them by God, and the Israelites were not to disturb them in any way, but they were almost continually fighting anyways.

That land is still theirs, and Abdullah is their king.

He doesn’t even REALLY say the words.

His words are wishy-washy and wussified.
