Jordan Promises Revenge

In Islam you can behead, you can stone, but you evidently cannot burn

ISIS in burning a Jordanian pilot alive may have an Islam lesson to learn

This barbaric ideology that can only terrorize and kill
Crossed the line and may have ignited an Arab resistance will.

ISIS is like the pirates of old; they need to be killed on sight

Finally they may face the moderate Muslims who will fight

Burn a man alive and you forfeit any right to further live

Jordan’s King Abdullah on ISIS will not forgive

Whatever military aid they need we should give them a blank check

Time for Arabs like Jordan to the ISIS vermin totally reject

A coalition attacking solely from the air is doomed to fail

Muslim boots on the ground with U.S. boots we need to entail

Who in the Arab world will give this President even a modicum of trust

Too much cut and run; no wonder he is held in disgust
This is a moment in history thanks to the murder that we have a chance to seize
A chance to with Arab help on the ground lock ISIS into the dust bin of history and throw away the keys

If the leader of the free world blows it, maybe time to think outside the box

On how to rid the world of this barbaric pox

Even to the point of joining forces with Assad against the Islamic State

The enemy of my enemy can be my friend even if not a saint
