LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - King Abdullah of Jordan, may lead some of these upcoming strikes, an Arabic-language newspaper reported.
Act now, please help save fellow Christians from genocide!
King Abdullah is a trained pilot, and told leadership in Jordan that he was ready to exact a heavy toll from the Islamic State in return for the murder of al-Kassasbeh, and he may do so as early as today.
To make his point, Abdullah referenced a line spoken by Clint Eastwood in the movie "Unforgiven".
"Any man I see out there, I'm gonna kill him," said Abdullah. "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."
Abdullah spoke before Congress, and California Representative Duncan Hunter reported what the Jordanian king had to say.
"He said there is going to be retribution like ISIS hasn't seen," said Hunter. "He's angry. They're starting more sorties tomorrow than they've ever had."
Apparently the only issues that Abdullah foresees "is running out of fuel and bullets."
February is a month of love and devotion.
Hunter also said that during the meeting between the House Armed Services Committee and the king, there was no mention of President Obama, who is seen by most of the anti-ISIS coalition as a weak and indecisive actor.
On February 3, Abdullah and Obama met, just hours after the release of the gruesome execution video, and the State Department announced that the United States will increase its annual aid to Jordan, from $660 million to $1 billion in order to help cover the costs of housing and caring for the Iraqi and Syrian refugees that have poured into Jordan since the Islamic State began its war of teror.
