Jordan said Thursday it had launched air strikes against the Islamic State group, after vowing a harsh response to the burning alive of one of its fighter pilots.
"The Jordanian air force launched raids against positions of the Islamic State group," said a government official, who did not want to be named.
Meanwhile the gruesome death of Moaz al-Kasasbeh drew a torrent of condemnation across the world.
Hashtags to express grief over Kasasbeh's death have taken over Twitter only hours after the news broke out on Tuesday, Al Arabiya News reported Wednesday.

I know, but we have a muslim in the white house now and I don’t like it. At least the King of Jordan has a spine.

Queen Noor, the fourth and last wife of King Hussein, Abullah’s father was American.
Abdullah’s mother was Hussein’s first wife.
Queen Noor nee Lisa Halaby is the daughter of Najeeb Halaby, once CEO of Pan-American Airlines.
Lisa Halaby received MArch from Princeton.

Funny that there isn’t a torrent of condemnation when something happens to the US.
Anyway, Good for him.
He know show to deal with terrorists and it’s well past time that someone came on strong against them.

I just read this... “The monarch may personally take part in bombing raids on extremist strongholds on Thursday, according to reports in Arabic-language newspapers.” Looks like they have a man for a leader.
I wish we did.

Easy to make that mistake, because before Lisa Halaby became Queen Noor I doubt that the western press made any mention of the three previous wives.
It was a Grace Kelly redux moment at the time.

I bet Obama was so bothered by this he missed his tee time by, what, 35 seconds? The fool could not lead a group of dogs to the feed bowl.

And the US State dept and CIA in Benghazi were running weapons to Turkey to pass to ISIS.
Obama created ISIS after Libya.

Awesome, except for telling them of the strikes the day beforehand.
