Jordan Vows to ‘Wipe Out ISIS’
Source: TDB
In the wake of ISISs claims that a Jordanian air strike killed American hostage Kayla Jean Mueller and their execution of Jordanian pilot Muath al-Kasaesbeh, Jordan has vowed to hunt down the terror group and wipe them out completely. Interior Minister Hussein al-Majali told a state-run newspaper that the country will track down ISIS wherever they are and that this weeks air strikes were the beginning of an ongoing process to eliminate them and wipe them out completely.

GHWB insisted on stationing American troops on holy land, which was looked upon as desecrating it.

(6,241 posts)Which begs the question, if not us, who will do it? If no one does it, why does it matter that the US does? Which is better? IS slaughtering everyone that doesn't subscribe to their warped view of Islam? Or the US doing a few drone strikes while Jordan bombs the crap out of them? If those other countries want us out, they need to get off their asses and save their own people. And the people funding ISIS need to be found and punished.

(34,589 posts)Who knows if they want ISIS stopped now. We are lied to and @$!#ed over so often, who knows what the truth is?
One thing I know - it will take decades to fix that mess. Unless we want to do the right thing, and stick around for decades, we need to either do nothing, or to selectively aid others who are reliable (likr the Kurds).
Killing some people then leaving will just make it worse.

With Jordan bombing their supplies and weapons, that will make the job of those directly fighting them easier.

Extended air wars are big, expensive, drawn-out affairs.

(67,782 posts)I'm sure there's even less now after a couple of days of Jordanian bombing. But no telling how many are lurking in other countries.

(30,058 posts)To have the "return to home terrorists" operating everywhere. It isn't a "I live in a nice neighborhood so I'm safe", they are out to control the world.
