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 hasnt 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.

You wouldn’t want him as President ... he would actually (and actively) dissolve the U.S. Constitution for real ... which is something that Obama has been wanting to do, but unable to do.
Obama is going golfing, but to show that he is serious about ISIS, he is only playing 9 holes.
Yeah...just a tangental swipe at the whitehouse wuss.
That was an admitted screwup. It’s possible the marines shouldn’t have even been there. But if there was some valid reason related to direct defense of the U.S., then it most certainly would have been in our interest to have these guys armed. As you should know, that screwup was not reflective of Reagan’s usual approach to things.
If he doesn’t do the right thing, his government falls.
We don’t operate that way.
>America should stick to American interests in dealing with these folks.<
.
Too late.
“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.
America, you’re in deeeeeeep sh*t!
neither could he play Golf. I don’t recall who but he stated that Obama stinks in playing Golf. I think it was Michael Jordan.
I like what I hear.
When i see smoking ruins where the idiots used to be maybe then i’ll believe... call me skeptical...
Good. And when is $hitface going to help them eliminate the vermin?
Oh I forgot. $hitface wouldn’t hurt his true buddies.

No, you’re assuming a bunch of stuff I’m not saying.
9-11 was the result of a whole bunch of stupid stuff the U.S. did and didn’t do under the Clinton administration precisely because the Clinton Administration was NOT looking out for the best interests of the U.S.
Instead of giving weapons to the drunken fascists in Kiev, let's give weapons to Jordan.
I'm no fan of the Clinton administration but believe in giving credit where it's due. We were attacked.
The King had better watch his back.
The last U.S. ally to say that was South Vietnam. Despite our treaty with them promising them full military supplies if invaded by the North, the Democrat US Congress cut off their "fuel and bullets" when the North Vietnamese did invade them. We see how that worked out.
This time, the peacenik Democrats control our Executive Branch and they can pull the same stunt if they want and there is no way Congress can stop them.
Likely Obama and his Muslim Brotherhood buddies will do just that.
Now like then, the problem is in Washington, not on the battle front.
Ah, don’t forget to take the private parts first to feed to the hog.
Well, at least we’d be called into action right now, rather than a decade from now.
The Clinton Administration failed to take appropriate measures in America’s interest against the Taliban and specifically Usama bin Laden in the 90’s.
The World Trade Center and one of our Naval ships were bombed in the 90’s by Islamic terrorists tied to the Taliban and Usama bin Laden who was a known instigator. No meaningful response from Clinton. When you show weakness to an aggressor, you don’t have to “make” them attack you. They’ll just be glad to oblige you as they did on 9-11.
Clinton also greatly weakened our intelligence capabilities by separating the FBI form the CIA.
Way before 9-11, we should have responded decisively and forcibly against our attackers and our intelligence community should have been on top of the 9-11 plan, and would have but for Clinton’s acts of omission and commission.
Again, let’s get back to doing what’s in the best interests of America.
I agree with what you say in this post but it’s not lining up with the comment you made on #8.
it was foolish to go into Iraq or meddle with any of these nations by trying to play referee or political evangelist to democracy
Playing referee or political evangelist to democracy with other nations is not in America's best interests. I have mentioned some of the things that are in our best interests IMO.
