| Jordanian air force jets resume bombing raids against ISIS |
| 2015-02-13 |
| [Jpost] Jordanian air force jets bombed Islamic State militants' hideouts on Thursday, state television said, resuming the intensified raids that ended at the weekend after three days. "The airforce has bombed and destroyed select targets of the Daesh criminal gang this afternoon," it said. "Daesh" is a derogative term for the militants. The raids are the first the Jordanian military have announced since three straight days of aerial bombing that ended on Saturday in retaliation for the killing of a pilot. UAE air force jets that arrived in Amman this week started raids against Islamic State militants in Syria on Tuesday. |

| #2 Methinks it is only a matter of time and logistics before Jordan jumps in with both feet. King Abdullah clearly recognizes that his head will be on a gate post if ISIS is not destroyed. The sooner the rest of the ME recognize that ISIS is off the leash of whoever funded them, the sooner you will see some serious action. As for us? We will continue to reluctantly semi-involve ourselves in the conflict preferring to be nuisance and complex in our thinking. |

| #1 What're the chances of ground action, slim to none? |
