Till we run 'out of fuel and bullets': Jordan's king vows to crush ISIS

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 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.”

He had better watch his guard detail.

ISIS minions look no different than any other ME Muslim...except for the pasty white ISIS guys from Europe.

If I were him I`d announce that every ISIS agent and sympathizer caught from now on would be killed by intravenous lethal injection. The ‘poison’ of choice will be pig`s blood and the method will be to wait till agglutination causes systemic embolism sufficient to terminate the individual.

He rode his Harley around the US and did stop off at Bandon Dunes for some golf.

Dorkbama couldn’t handle a Harley.

“America should stick to American interests in dealing with these folks.”

Like we did with Germany before WWII?

Is Obama plotting with the Islamic Brotherhood terrorists how to overthrow the Egyptian president and the Jordan King with the support of U.S.?

Why the Democrats are always on the wrong side of history?

Remember the support of Carter to the overthrow of the Shah of Iran our best allied in the Arab and Persian world with the catastrophic consequences of creating a powerful terrorist state that has destabilizes the Middle East and now represents a lethal nuclear menace for the Western civilization.

I believe he’s a Muslim and he does consider himself and Jordan as the true keepers of Islam and NOT Saudi Arabia ... so there’s that part, too. It’s just that he won’t tolerate any abrogation of HIS AUTHORITY and “that” as a Muslim.

The following is what the present King of Jordan inherited from the former King of Jordan.

It was in our interest to thump some people in the ME just not our interest to play cop or be their George Washington. Killing bad guys can be in our interest. Giving the military the high level objective and turning lose the dogs of war is what we should do. Be so efficient and brutal that no one in 3 generations will cross us. That’s what GWB did not do. He did some things good but he let nation building get in the way.

More like what we did under Reagan where we acted decisively when our country or citizens were attacked or in imminent danger like with Granada and Libya, but used influence and support, not military might, to help freedom fighters in their own counties and stood unequivocally against totalitarian regimes like the USSR using skill and diplomacy to beat them (not to assuage them).
