Jordan confirmed on Wednesday that “The Jordanian King Abdullah II will participate personally on Thursday in conducting air strikes against the shelters of the terrorist ISIL organization to revenge the execution of the Jordanian pilot Maath al-Kassasba by the ISIL.”
Media outlets reported the King Abdullah II as saying “The war against ISIL will not end and we will fight them in their shelters.”

Give them some Napalm. Send ISIL a little taste of hell.
I’m not implying that he is...in fact, I rather doubt it. My impression is that he’s doing what most monarchs in history have done- protect their territory. But, I find it an interesting thought.
In the past eight years, the following countries have had or almost had revolutions:
* Libya, Quadaffi dead
* Egypt, Mubarak out, then Muslim Brotherhood out by military coup
* Tunisian revolution, 2010-2011, actually led to democracy
* Yemen, two presidents/prime ministers
* Syria, attempt to overthrow dictator, currently in civil war
* Iraq, Hussain out, now civil war
* Iran, attempted revolution in 2009, ayatollahs still in power
The world is on fire, and that’s the hotbed. He knows he has to look strong or be one of the next to fall.
Especially for a nation that is full of Syrian refugees, Palestinians, Iraqi Christians and Assyrians and no oil with which to bribe a rescue by the West.
I know... and still yet, the personal touch... that isn’t all that common. He knows he risks getting blown up by doing that.

I use “Daesh”, which is the acronym for its Arabic name, and sounds ugly and monstrous to an Arab ear. This is what most of the Arab world calls them, even though they absolutely hate it and have threatened to cut out the tongue of anyone who uses it.
But the White House wait staff did overhear them planning a rigorous game of "Laurence of Arabia and the camel"
The Turks will be pissed.
Godspeed, King A.!!!!!!!! Wonder if it’ll be visible on hi-res weather sats.

Quote of the day. Bravo!
Can you imagine our skinny chicken going into battle? The only thing he could do is bore them to death with his crummy speeches...until they would shoot the teleprompter.
Damned straight. Go, king!

Only Reggie knows for sure (well, other boys do, but they're no longer with us).
Now that’s a true commander in chief!
Seriously! Imagine if his family were still Kings of Arabia instead of the Saudis!
The Middle East would be pretty boring outside of the Palestinian issue.
since ISIS considers the kingie to be an apostate or at least a traitor to Islam,
and since ISIS is already on his borders and expanding
and
since ISIS has said it intends to take over Jordan
it is no surprise that kingie says he will fight back.
...he has to.
I think the balls in that family belong to the Wookie.
