An adaption from that old saw of “If you are going to kill the King, KILL THE KING!” – do the deed and do it quick or the King WILL retaliate and will do it at the price of your life (and those that helped, and perhaps with a few others thrown in a la “will no one rid me of this troublesome priest?“). Here we see the country of Jordon, whose 26 year old pilot was captured by ISIS, waging war – no pattycake in the future of the ISIS prisoners they hold:
‘Kill our pilot and we’ll execute ALL your prisoners’: Jordan ‘says it will hang its ISIS captives’ if airman hostage is dead
Jordan has threatened to fast-track the execution of a would-be suicide bomber the Islamic State is trying to free if the terror group kills its captured pilot, it was reported today. The government has apparently warned that Sajida al-Rishawi and other jailed ISIS commanders would be ‘quickly judged and sentenced’ in revenge for Muath al-Kaseasbeh’s death.
It comes after a deadline for a possible prisoner swap allegedly set by ISIS passed yesterday with no clue over the fate of al-Kaseasbeh or fellow Japanese hostage Kenji Goto. Intelligence sources said ISIS’s refusal to prove that al-Kaseasbeh was alive meant any deal with the militants was doomed. Now Jordan has reportedly stepped up its rhetoric by warning of its intent to retaliate if the negotiations end in bloodshed.
The stories abound of the former Soviet Union doing the same thing – kill one of ours and we will kill yours. They wage war and do not consider things like what ISIS is doing a legal matter as the Obama Administration is doing. Or is it, when you consider the drone-heavy policy of Obama, that killing them outright instead of capturing eliminates the “Jordanian Option”?
