War

The US invasion of Iraq created ISIS, not the withdrawal.

Jordanian air strike against ISIS kills American hostage. US can't confirm.

Motive for ISIS immolation of Jordanian pilot.
"Fourth, this may have been a provocation to cause the king to put his monarchy on the line and plunge Jordan into all out war against the Islamic State.
For history teaches that wars often prove fatal to monarchies. In the Great War of 1914-1918, the Hapsburgs and Hohenzollerns, the Romanovs and Ottomans, all went down.
The terrorists of ISIS may believe that stampeding Abdullah into fighting on the side of the “Crusaders” may prove destabilizing to his country and imperil the Hashemite throne.
For, though Jordanians may be united today, will they support sending their sons into battle as allies of the Americans and de facto allies of Bashar Assad, Hezbollah, and Iran?"
I think they want to divide Jordan.
"To many Sunni nations, Assad and the Shia Crescent of Tehran, Baghdad, Damascus and Beirut are the greater threat. Indeed, until recently, as Joe Biden pointed out last October, the Turks, Saudis and United Arab Emirates were providing clandestine aid to ISIS. "
I doubt they have stopped.

Obama to ask Congress for war powers against ISIS. What a novel idea. They'll grant them.

Yemeni rebels announce they've taken over the country.

US wars of aggression don't benefit Americans.
