There is no love for ISIS in Jordan after they burned a Jordanian pilot alive on television. Going through Jordan is not likely.

The question really is, will Jordan border defence be stronger than this wall? Somehow I don't see ISIS shying away from taking the way around if they really want to atack Saudis.

It might well be.

Jordan's military leadership is surprisingly competent, with lots of forward thinking, preparations and plans for eventualities.

Why is that surprising? I'm not particularly well informed on the matters and for some reason thought for years that Jordan was militarily competent.
