After ISIS execution, angry King Abdullah quotes Clint Eastwood to U.S. lawmakers
Washington Examiner ^ | February 4, 2015 | 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.

Obomination showing up and trying to enter the door to a Congressional meeting: ‘I won, I’m the President! Let me into that meeting!’

Guard at the door: ‘You can’t go in; you’re an illegal, a terrorist and an enemy combatant, and you have no relevance in this meeting, except that you are going to be taken into custody when this meeting concludes, and interrogated.’

It seems to me ISIS wants this situation to blow up as big as possible. They escalate the horror of their atrocities to draw a response, to include as many nations as they can. They don’t just want to take Iraq, it’s oil or whatever, they want WWIII.

They’ll draw everyone in and get on with a global battle. In the process they’ll show who is weak and who is strong defined by their own barbaric code. Countries need to band together and finish this now.

A completely credible observation from Debka:

"Jordanian army and security forces have been on full-scale alert in case ISIS responds to the two executions by activating its many sleeper cells for strikes in Jordanian cities, including the capital Amman. The jihadist organization has a following among young Jordanians as well the large Iraqi, Palestinian and Syrian communities who have been given refuge in the Hashemite Kingdom."

Actually, the “Beacon of Freedom” is what America used to be called. Today I’m afraid “the flickering light of what once was” would be more appropriate.

As far as the current idiot in the White House goes, I could be more excited if I thought someone better would be President in a couple of years. Unfortunately, given the level of brainless sheeple in this country, I fear that three years from now we’ll be posting about the latest outrage from President Hildabeast.

Gosh I hope you’re correct - but I wouldn’t bet on it. If Plugs is stupid enough to try, she’ll murder him. I have a feeling that all those FBI files she and the ‘bent one’ raided are still paying off.

I don’t think she wants to lose though. If a strong enough Republican candidate emerged with a good chance of winning, she’ll probably sit it out. But who is kidding who - s strong Republican candidate? Better luck finding a unicorn or big foot.

Waiting for Obama to respond by quoting the late Rodney King: “Why can’t we all just get along?”

Happening now: King Abdullah addresses the Jordanian people (in swept-up keffiyeh).

Correction: The tweet I saw was reacting to file footage of a King Abdullah address a few days ago. But he has returned to Amman, and is presently having some high-level meetings.

“Good quote from Eastwood in “Unforgiven”.
“Any man I see out there, I’m gonna kill him. Any son of a bitch takes a shot at me, I’m not only going to kill him, I’m going to kill his wife and all his friends and burn his damn house down.””

Didn’t Munny also say something about salting their soil?
