Jordan plays a dangerous game doing this though...they are a tribal nation and as such are susceptible to fragmentation. Jordan's support of US actions in the ME is generally seen with derision and the King has used force in the past to suppress public displays of opposition.
Unity in Jordan about the pilot and the way in which he was killed might resonate now but should Jordan engage in any prolonged campaign that clearly aligns them against ISIS it plays a risky hand.

What a f**k goof.
I hope he's shot down simply for being stupid enough to go into conflict as a Head of State.
