He was never even trying to take them out, just contain support for them within his own country, as they have significant popularity in Jordan.

He is using this event to try and change that, just like he let loose salafis in his prisons who took an anti-ISIS stance.

We will see how it works, my guess, it won't be wildly successful. Could be temporarily with billions of dollars given by the US, as he could buy a modicum of support temporarily.

But Jordan does not have the oil wealth of the countries like Saudi Arabia, nor the nationalism of countries like Egypt. It has a very poor, uneducated, and conservative populace.

the only thing that is a positive is it is a small population with a King American himself, so American support won't go against him like Gaddafi, American support would do the opposite if needed. But Abdullah won't be able to lead anything besides Jordan, even that is not an easy task.
