"Hopefully ... the military part is short-term," he stated, "The mid-term is going to be the intelligence and security aspect. The long-term is the ideological one and the educational one."
The king also disagreed with Obama's assertion that the war against ISIS doesn't constitute something along the lines of "World War III".
"The global war -- what I call the Third World War by other means -- is one that is a generational one," Abdullah reasoned. "Not only inside Islam, as we as Muslims gain the supremacy against the crazies, the outlaws, of our religion, but also reaching out to other religions that Islam is not what they have seen being perpetuated by 0.1% of our religion."
The Jordanian king also said that there will be "increased tempo" from his air force against the group. In early 2015 a Jordanian F-16 jet fighter malfunctioned over ISIS territory and crashed. The pilot was infamously burned alive in a cage by ISIS. King Abdullah consequently vowed to fight the terrorist group to the death.
