Politics and religion.

ISIL (ISI,ISIS, whatever) just screwed up.

Jordan is probably the most competent Arab military there is, and given how Arab air forces select their pilots, he probably had ties to the royal family.

Check it out....

If the pilot had been from the west, you would have seen/heard something like...

"government officials are meeting to draft an appropriate response to this crime/act"

The Jordanians just cut to the chase.

"Jordanian Officials vow revenge." or some such headlines?

And hours after the footage was released, they backed their 'promise' up.

--------------

As silly and simple as it sounds?

Bullies will do what ever they want until one person or a group of people show up on their front porch, looking to 'set things right'.

It might be about religion or land, but I'd like to think that people deep down just want to live their lives without having to worry about some knuckleheads telling them how to live?

Jordan's King Abdullah, himself a former general, angrily vowed to pursue ISIS until his military runs "out of fuel and bullets," in a closed door meeting with U.S. lawmakers that followed the release Wednesday of a grisly video showing a captured Jordanian airman being burned alive in a cage by the terrorist army.

I think they done screwed up...

When you bite off MORE than you can chew, you'd better have a good dental plan?

Am watching the prez talking about his request to use force against the idiots of I.S.

------------------

One of the most amusing things about his little speech is his use of the word, "We".

As in We are degrading IS, We are winning, WE, WE, WE, WE.

I wouldn't expect anything less from the man that killed Osama, by himself.

I have been hearing on the news that people who are here illegally and do not pay any taxes can file and get an income tax refund!!! How can the government justify this for any reason???

They should give us citizens a refund first if they want to throw money around. I'm living below the poverty level on disability and would love to have some extra money I did not earn!!!

I have a really stupid question: How can you get a refund if you didn't pay taxes in the first place? That means that the taxes I pay as a middle-class citizen could potentially go to someone who is not in the country legally and may or may not even need the money? *banging head on table*
