Jordanian King Abdullah, himself a pilot, will fly sorties on ISIS targets.

Have Turkey, Iran and Jordan given up on Iraq and Syria? Why no concerted foot soldier campaign? Air attacks will only push them into their holes, from where they will come back out afterwards.

They don't want to get bogged down, and Iraqi army, along with the Kurds, seem to finally be taking back territory during ground operations. There is simply no need, nor desire to launch a ground attack, as they don't want to get trapped like the US did. Likewise, the Iraqis don't want foreign boots on the ground, as it may end up causing even more problems, with nationalists forming more militant groups to fight the foreign forces, whom they would consider invaders.

I heard the Iraqi army is in shambles, and its mostly the Kurds who are doing a much better job. That too a chick army!

In the beginning, yes. That was mostly Maliki's fault, but he's gone now, and thing seem to be getting back to where the is was before the war started with Isis.

As for the Kurds, while it is true that they have female fighters, they are few and far between. It's mostly for propaganda purposes, because they want to show that they care about human rights, thus they deserve independence.

I often wonder. Why are Jordanians so fair. I mean they are almost white. Much fairer than all the countries surrounding them, including Iranians and Turks.

Some special racial history?

How do I tag our Ukranian friend? My keyboard does not have the curly script.

From mixing with ethnic caucasus peoples from the Ottoman Empire. Circassians and Chechens form more than 3% of Jordans population, I think. That and maybe sexual selection.

If IS shoots him down by a very small chance, it will be the most valuable POW a terrorist group has ever laid hands on.

Let's see what real measures Jordan will take since it's just a symbolic move.

If they defeat the ISIS and deliver the region from them, the reconstruction that follows will most definitely see an independent Kurdish state.

They would have earned it. And would be the conquering army holding ground anyways.

he doesn't fly f16s, it'd be impossible for him to actually lead a mission in the air, the conservatives in america have gotten the liking of him and are using his position as a way to have a go at obama.

IS cant shoot anything above 5000 m even theoretically.

Why are so many Indians obsessed with white skin?

Then it will never be eliminated for 1000 years
