King Abdullah, Jordan

This feels like a John Wayne movies, except the Duke is no longer available. So lacking John Wayne, I guess you just have to saddle up for your self. from, Donald Douglas, American Power:

Jordan’s King Abdullah to Personally Suit-Up Against Islamic State?

Reax, Mary Katherine Ham, Hot Air:

Or, maybe that’s just how I’d like to imagine it because it’s nice to imagine a leader of a country so righteously enraged by the brutal killing of his citizens and so skilled in the kicking of ass that he decides to engage in it personally.

Kings, many centuries past, used to lead their nations from the front of their columns. It has been a while.

Note, I am not a fan of unelected monarchs, likeĀ  King Abdullah, or wanna be monarchs like Mrs. Clinton, but nice to see a leader, any leader, whos idea of how to lead in the midst of a crisis is not to play yet another round of golf.
