Washington Examiner ^ | 2/3/15 | Byron York

Members of the House Armed Services Committee met with Jordan´s King Abdullah Tuesday not long after news broke that ISIS had burned to death a Jordanian pilot captured in the fight against the terrorist group. In a private session with lawmakers, the king showed an extraordinary measure of anger — anger which he expressed by citing American movie icon Clint Eastwood. "He said there is going to be retribution like ISIS hasn´t seen," said Republican Rep. Duncan Hunter Jr., a Marine Corps veteran of two tours in Iraq and one in Afghanistan, who was in the meeting with the king. "He

I’m just surprised Michael Moore hasn’t come out and called jet pilots cowards.

“Article says the quote is from Unforgiven... Any idea what the line was?”

How about this:
Delilah Fitzgerald: Are you still goin’ to kill those men?

Will Munny: I reckon so. The money’s still available, ain’t it?

Or this:
Will Munny: Any man don’t wanna get killed better clear on out the back.

Maybe this:
Little Bill Daggett: But I’m gonna hurt you. And not gentle like before... but bad.

Or:
Little Bill Daggett: Now all you gotta do is pull the trigger mister.

Or:
Fatty Rossiter: Jesus, Clyde, you have three pistols and you only have one arm for Christ’s sake.

Clyde: Well I just don’t want to be killed for lack of shootin’ back.

This is a King whose own father was almost assassinated by Islamic terrorists. He’s had attempts on his own life by the same. He’s pro-western, monogamous, quite British in nature, and educated at the best colleges that the west offers: Elite prep schools in the US, Georgetown for foreign policy, and Sandhurst for military leadership training on the UK model.

ISIS just enraged a nation right next to their little terror state that can field a real army, and it’s a monarchy with its subjects howling for blood.

Abdullah II should just steamroll into Iraq and shoot everyone who has so much as the wrong look on their face. In fact, Iraq really ought to be part of Jordan. Just go conquer their asses.

KG9...

If my memory is correct he is not just a King but darn near a spec-operator via his military training or is that his brother? Their was a show on the Travel Channel of all places where one of the monarchs took the host on a hike through one of their historic sites and it was rigorous and the royal was kicking arse through it all.

I also saw an interesting travel channel tourism show on Jordan with King Abdullah. They went to the Dead Sea, Amman, Petra and Wadi Rum (like a mini Grand Canyon).

The King had wide-ranging military training and several honorary military titles and positions, but his real experience and service was as a pilot.

Thanks BeauBo, it was the King, yes that Wadi Rum is where the King shined. He is small in stature, but was climbing like a mountain goat, in pretty darn good shape IMHO....

I'm tired of the "sensitive viewer" crap, the free world is either going to toughen up or die.

The west is raising metrosexuals while the enemy is raising warriors.

Duncan Hunter Jr’s comment about King Abdullah’s reaction and promise of retaliation was great: “ISIS will regret what they’ve done; King Abdullah is not Barack Obama.”

It’s a shame that little Jordan is probably the one that’s going to deliver a serious blow to ISIS - while the once mighty US continues to de-evolve....Of Course, this is a Middle Eastern problem that should be handled by the ME nations...if anyone one is to blame - it’s the Arab banking system that has allowed oil revenues to be invested worldwide - that has allowed even greater revenues to be gained - which in turn has been used by its Arab investors to fund such entities like ISIS...

I’m presuming he walks around with his trousers hanging down around his knees anyhoo. Just to make sure everyone knows he’s available.
