#2 Every terror organization over steps its bounds and overreaches with the terror campaign.

This is the over reach of ISIS and they've struck a nerve with many Moslems and perhaps maybe even awakened a liberal or two.

At any rate, they've pissed off Jordan to the nth degree and I expect King Abdullah to make good on his promises...

#4 I am unaware of any significant achievements of the Jordan special forces, military or warrior king. Talk is cheap. Dropping a few bombs is easy. (Ask Bill Clinton). Let's see what they do from here.

#5 Typically one doesn't hear about 'significant achievements' from any Special Forces group.

The like it nice and 'quiet'.

Unfortunately, certain government entities will self-promote and advertise 'accomplishments', piggybacking on the actions of others.

Not to be confused with the non-warrior king and staff at the White House who have absolutely no experience of military history, operations, or culture. Those who can - do, those who can not - teach, those who can not teach - administrate.

No, but according to Drudge today, the US denied Jordan drones to use against ISIS. Right in line with the Muzzie-in-Chief's priorities.

#9 Right in line with the Muzzie-in-Chief's priorities.

Of course. It means more assets for the domestic Long March.

#11 Those who can - do, those who can not - teach, those who can not teach - administrate.

And those who can't even administrate - community organize.

Lets wait and see what and how the Jordanians do before we judge them.

#12 Lets wait and see

Results are what matters, but I give them props for doing what they said. No faint lines drawn in the sand here.

#13 My read on this, is the Hashemites are panicked, which must be because they believe they face significant internal threats. Their legitimacy is primarily religious, as the hereditary custodians of Mecca.

ISIS is a threat to their religious legitimacy.
