"Moderate" Arab dictator gets two thumbs up from Canadian media

Jordan's King Abdullah II is just the kind of guy Canada should pitch in to support and sustain, according to the wankers at the SunPostMedia conglomerate.

After all, while he may not be too popular at home, he is muchly loved in " the West," which is all the proof we need that we should give him lots of guns and money...

At least according to the twats at SunPostMedia.

So we're off on another so-called "training mission." Why Jordan needs the Canadian Forces to train them up is not a question asked or answered. Obviously, Jordanian troops are far more experienced in fighting terrorists, insurgents, and just plain ordinary domestic malcontents than the Canadian Forces.

But none the less, Big Steve has committed us to another front in a war that is none of our business.

IDF forms up new Lions of Jordan Battalion to protect biggest nature reserve in Israel

According to Col. Ofir Livius, the occupied Jordan Valley is no longer part of the occupied territories; it is instead, "the biggest undeclared nature reserve in the country."

Hmm... as far as I know this marks the first time a new battalion has been struck just to secure a nature reserve. Perhaps the IDF want to pre-empt the poaching of local wildlife by ISIS recruiters? The native species are very much in danger of extinction, as everyone knows, and this IDF commitment to their conservation will no doubt be welcomed by environmentalists everywhere!

Or perhaps Col. Livius' blast 'o bullshit obscures a more unsettling reality. Abdullah Too, Israel's partner for peace in the West Bank, is living on borrowed time. A year from now he could well be domiciled in Monaco or Miami, and his country, including its military, could be swearing allegiance to the Caliph of the Islamic State.

Best get those Lions of Jordan on the ground a year early rather than a year too late.
