Jordan Executes Two Prisoners After ISIS Burned Jordan Pilot to Death

After seeing one of their own murdered in a cage by ISIS today, Jordan officials announced that they have executed two prisoners associated to with the terrorist group.

Jordan said it had executed 2 prisoners early Wednesday after a new video surfaced on the Internet Tuesday showing ISIS burning alive a Jordanian pilot the terror group had held since December.

Government spokesman Mohammed al-Momani said that prisoners Sajida al-Rishawi and Ziad al-Karbouli were executed. Al-Rishawi has been on death row for her role in a triple hotel bombing in the Jordanian capital Amman in 2005 that killed dozens. Over the past week, Jordan had twice offered to swap her for the pilot, Lt. Muath al-Kaseasbeh. However, officials have said his captors did not deliver proof he was still alive, and the swap never moved forward.

The 44-year-old Iraqi woman’s suicide belt did not detonate at the time of the Amman attack and she fled the scene, but was quickly arrested. After a televised confession, she recanted, but her appeal was turned down.

Al-Rishawi had family ties to the Iraqi branch of Al Qaeda, a precursor of ISIS. Ziad Al-Karbuli was a former aide to Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the Jordanian Al Qaeda operative who was killed in 2006.

Hillary Clinton Defends President Obama on Getting War Prisoner Freed

So you’re still wondering if Hillary Clinton is running for president in 2016? Well you’re probably the only one still wondering.

The former Secretary of State has weighed in on many issues concerning today’s version of American politics, and the decision by President Obama to oversee the release of an American soldier captured by the Taliban in Afghanistan prompted a response from the next American president, Hillary Clinton. 🙂

Speaking at an event hosted by the Denver Post, Hillary Clinton defended the president’s decision.

“This young man, whatever the circumstances, was an American citizen — is an American citizen — was serving in our military,” Clinton said Monday evening, according to the Associated Press. “The idea that you really care for your own citizens and particularly those in uniform, I think is a very noble one.”

Needless to say, Republicans are trying to use the release of this American prisoner as another false issue to attack the President on. It is obviously their position that Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl should have remain captive by the Taliban in Afghanistan. You would think that bringing home prisoner of war, an American soldier who went to fight for this country would have been a good thing, but not with these republicans.

Republicans – they love the troops… this much.
