Foley's mother felt like 'annoyance' to US government

I could not agree more with Mrs Foley...When Obama makes a 3 minute statement and is back on the golf course in 10 minutes yuking it up tells a lot.

The POTUS, regardless of who it is, cannot stop (or prevent) all crime in the world nor should they be expected to try to do so. I am sure that every mother feels that an exception should be made for crimes against thier son but that changes nothing. Some US citizens are likely to become the victims of crime in every foreign land that they may choose to visit or work in. The stated reason for this kdinapping and murder does not make it into matter for special consideration by the POTUS. Should we bomb the UK to punnish them for exporting their terrorists? Should we bomb Syria because they have not yet made an arrest? When foreign tourists or workers are killed in the US should their homeland's leader become personally involved?

Compared to you nearly everyone is a Liberal. Can you tell us just how much time/effort the POTUS should spend publicly fretting over each foreign kidnapping/murder?
 
It was more like 8 min. I know the left loves to point out that Bush played golf as well but never during an international crises like this. I knew his second term would be bad but I never expected it to be this bad.

As far as the whole "golfing" issue....neither one of them is particularly "bad".....its a silly non issue
 
Wait a sec?
U.S. troops tried, failed to rescue James Foley - Philip Ewing - POLITICO.com

"American special operators attempted to rescue slain journalist James Foley and other hostages held in Syria earlier this year, but the mission failed because he and other captives weren’t where U.S. intelligence thought they’d be.

The Army’s elite 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (Airborne), the “Night Stalkers,” flew the troops into the raid, The Washington Post reported."
