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.”

I maintain that Obama will actively try to restrain Jordan, whether Obama does this publicly or not is inconsequential. He will try to hold Jordan back.

It would have been refreshing to hear GW Bush say this on Sept 12, 2001.

Arabs fighting Arabs. Nothing new. The Bible says, “His hand will be against every man and every man’s hand against him.” That’s why it was foolish to go into Iraq or meddle with any of these nations by trying to play referee or political evangelist to democracy. America should stick to American interests in dealing with these folks.

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

You are exactly right, expect the bogus "supply chain problem" excuses to soon start flying.

Anything Obama can do to help his Islamic terrorist buddies!

He’s actually a descendant of Muhammad, and he’s all about cooperating with the West.

Who’d have thought?

I agree.. however the Globalist Agenda requires the revenues and control over the ME....and the Arabs etc. will have representation in the New World Order....so this entire Arab Spring and these various happenings there are to make that happen.....which means taking out despote leaders who won’t go along.

While they’re doing this the ME will continue to be in one state of war or another.....but regardless....tribal wars etc. will always go on in the ME....it’s just the nature of the area.

It is far more likely that you'll find him rolling marbles under Jordan's feet as they try to fight, just as he has done with Israel at every turn.

I’ll believe the Jordanians are serious when they send a massive army to the region and hunt the bastards down. Otherwise, I congratulate them on executing the two animals they had in captivity.

He did. The media thought it more important to quote Michael Moore.

His Majesty King Abdullah II is the Supreme Commander of the Jordanian Armed Forces. This authority is vested in the king by the Jordanian Constitution of 1952. He exercises the right to appoint and dismiss all members of the High Command of Jordan’s Armed forces, and has the authority to exercise command and control over all units of the armed forces.

Hehe - cool.
