#2 Perhaps wen this all settles down, we can borrow Jordan's King. Our own king can't seem to concentrate on the job at hand.

#6 The reason for this, especially the CSAR? A lack of PGM for the Jordanian AF. Obumble hasnt sent them the upgrades ann larger numbers of targeting pods and other guided munitions they need. They are dropping dumb iron. And that means either inaccurate targeting or else getting well into range of anti-aircreft assets.

The Obama administration has pissed away a ton of this stuff in Iraq, yet refuses to give sufficient amounts (in some cases none at all) or the needed weaponry to a force that has shown it is ready, willing and able to do the job. Jordan's King has not set of goal of degrading ISIS, he set a goal of eradicating ISIS. Its almost as if Obama wants to protect ISIS from destruction.

Im beginning to wonder if the conspiracy folks might have been right. Incompetence has its limits, this smacks of deliberation and intent by Obama to preserve Islamist fundamentalism at the cost of our allies in the region.
