A word about the recent murder of a Jordanian pilot, killed by the hands of the savages we know as ISIS.

<<<  Young Jordanian pilot,  in ISIS custody,  scared out of his mind,  waiting for what was a most brutal execution. 

Two days ago,  Jordan issued a warning to ISIS:  "Kill our pilot and we will kill all alQaeda prisoners in our jails,"  or words to that effect.  

With that in mind,  ISIS just spit in the face of the Jordanian leadership.  Not only did they kill their Jordanian captivity,  they took 22 minutes of video time,  to do so,  ending with his being placed in a cage, doused with gasoline,  and set on fire,  while very much alive.  

Jordan has been very vocal in its criticism of Obama and his empty "red line" threat to Syrian leadership.  We wait to see what Jordan does next.  

Just minutes before he is set on fire.  

You should understand that ISIS is simply burning all their bridges within the Middle East.  Iran is an ally of ISIS,  but has not gotten fully involved   . . . .   not even close.  In the meantime,  ISIS has decided to laugh at Lebanon,  Jordan,  Saudi Arabia,  and Egypt as it (ISIS) continues its rampage in that region.  

And to think,  this Middle East crisis, would never have played out in the way it has,  if Obama had listened to reason before pulling US troops from Iraq.   We should never forget his stubborn and self-serving ignorance as to the importance of his Iraqi decision and the health and welfare of the Middle Eastern World.  And,  if "self-serving ignorance" is not the best description for his actions,  then we are left with a man who simply did not care what he creating in moving out of the Middle East   . . . .   and "not caring" trumps "stupidity" in my book.    He is an absolute disgrace of a president,  and beyond doubt,  the most dangerous man in American history.

After notes:  this murder has the markings of a "game changer."  Clearly,  ISIS has called the bluff of the Jordanian hierarchy.  The potential deaths of all hostages held by ISIS and non-ISIS forces lies in the balance.  

And will this death translate into the beginnings of a counter offensive against ISIS by Middle Eastern allies?  

To this editor,  it is clear that the time for patience and reserve has past.  ISIS must be destroyed and destroyed immediately.  John Kerry and Obama want this thing to last for years into the future.  They have predicted such.  But that view is centered in the refusal of the US to commit to the destruction of the larger jihadist community.  
Update #1:  The current talking point is that this execution was done four weeks ago.  Makes no difference to me.  The video was released this morning,  in response, to Jordan's threat.  It is not the timing of the execution,  but the timing of the release of this murder is the critical issue.  

Did Jordan know their pilot was already dead at the time they issued their determination to kill all hostages if their pilot was killed?  If so,  some suggest that the King of Jordan is working to build up an emotional fever within his country that would give permission to enter the conflict in a big , big way.
