Never one to let a crisis go to waste, US officials are expressing hope that the video showing the execution of a Jordanian pilot by ISIS will provide them an opportunity to rile up Jordan into escalating their involvement in the war.
Jordan’s Lt. Moaz al-Kasaesbeh is the first pilot from the US anti-ISIS war to be captured, and subsequently executed. Jordanian officials have responded with quick executions of some ISIS detainees, and threats for more.
Interestingly, the capture of Kasaesbeh and the risk ISIS could capture more pilots actually scared off the United Arab Emirates, one of the other nations involved in the air war.
ISIS seems interested in sucking Jordan deeper into the war in hopes of using it to mobilize their significant population of sympathizers in the country. The US, apparently, sees sucking Jordan further into the war as a benefit to them too.
Exactly why isn’t being stated, but with Jordan right along the Syrian border, it is already being used as a staging area for US-trained rebels. The US may believe that Jordan’s further involvement in the war means more involvement on that border.
Whether Jordan is going to take the bait remains to be seen, but officials are talking up showing that they aren’t going to be intimidated by the execution, so it seems probable that they will.
Fighter-bomber pilots — Scumbags most terrorizing and criminal
Perfect justice would be to place all fighter-bomber pilots, including drone killers, in prison for life. For in this War on Terror, they murder a 1,000 times more innocent civilians then all the terrorists combined.
And why is it that such warriors from hell are of greater value then laboring men of the impoverished class who do 95% of all the bleeding and dying in war? Simple, for a pilot-killer is of such high intelligence as to be in the Country-club class, the executive class that is just below the rich-ruling class, a future CEO and the cream of society.
US Hopes Jordan Pilot’s Death Will Get Jordan Deeper Into ISIS War?
Perhaps that was exactly the point?!
More stupid tools of the Imperialists.
ISIS is not about Islam, these are saudis produced savages, barbarians with their mind set on 500bc for caliphat rule as in Saudi arabia, where the Swedish, english kingdom family's support the masters, where us and eu weapon industries use their puppets (kings preside and queens) to sale more of their product.
They will use this incident to justify U.S. combat forces taking a direct role in the ground fighting first in Iraq and then Syria.
