.....they carried thru with the threat rather than chance of ransoming him. What say ye?


The Islamic State militant group released a video purporting to show the beheading of U.S. hostage Steven Sotloff, the SITE monitoring service reported on Tuesday.

A masked figure in the video also issued a threat against a British hostage, a man the group named as David Haines, and warned governments to back off “this evil alliance of America against the Islamic State”, the monitoring service said.

Damn, that is awful. I just saw it on MSNBC. I don't know what's going to happen now, but this is very bad.

I just came across this while I cam across this other little gem, Obama knew about ISIS at least a year ago...


President Obama was given detailed and specific intelligence about the rise of the Islamic State as part of his daily briefing for at least a year before the group seized large swaths of territory over the summer, a former Pentagon official told Fox News.

The official -- who asked not to be identified because the President's Daily Brief is considered the most authoritative, classified intelligence community product analyzing sensitive international events for the president -- said the data was strong and "granular" in detail.

The source said a policymaker "could not come away with any other impression: This is getting bad."

It is indeed horrific, and thoughts go to his family, it is a horrible human tradgedy.

But is this all that ISIS can do? Kill American hostages who are tied up? What happens when they run out of them? More sternly worded warnings?

Are we supposed to quake in fear? Are supposed to spend another trillion and thousands of soldier's lives?

I'm not impressed by their attempts to scare us.
 
well this is just getting sick as if the 1st one was not enough isis is really asking for it, how ever this president is all about :peace and talking. well guess what sire the GOP has it right this time and those groups over there don't give a you know what about us its time to act sir no more speeches do what america does best strike and i mean now and harsh, or else quit the office sir! as much of the good work you have done on a domestic level... you trying to bring peace to a people who seem just not to understand the term making your middle east policy stinks :doh.

They are now telling the British their man is next. Since they heard Cameron had a plan.
Oh, now he has a plan. After watching for years his nation fall into a muslim population boom. Cheery Oh.
 
Enough of this crap. Time to send in the UN Peackeeping forces.

Full on war over two American journalists? Obama would never.
Hell he wont even engage the mejican government over a US Marine.

Of course, they are very limited, have no range and are no threat whatsoever. This is all Republican make-believe to make Obama look bad. The fact ISIS has over run a good part of Syria and now Iraq, has captured weapons enough to finish the job, are training more terrorists is of no consideration to the Obama regime whose early pull out of Iraq caused this uprising
 
We need to remember that these head choppers are just people like you and me. All they want is a little respect and recognition that their beliefs are sincere and legitimate in a free world.

The prudent thing would be to engage them diplomatically. We could offer to assist them with matters of poverty and insufficient education which are the causes of their frustration with society. If you were treated as a second class citizen every day and hunted by drones just because of your ethnicity and religious beliefs you'd be pretty pissed off too. What we need is understanding and peaceful, respectful engagement.

Make Love, Not War!!

It was Bush's fault. Don't get off the narrative. November is just months away.

Yeah those Philippine ones......they kicked some al Nusra ass and then still slipped away from them in the cover of the night.

I really thought it was rather comical that they celebrated hauling ass and retreating as a brilliant victory for the UN.

So, do you want to spend a trillion dollars and send in thousands of our troops?

What happens next time, and the time after that.

I'm sure we will now see the same people who screamed years ago and scream to this day that Bush had intelligence to stop 9/11 expressing their outrage over this.
