James Foley - beheaded

[tb-av]

Holy cow... this is a bad one... he gives a speech and is then beheaded. Then they show another white captive that I assume is American and tell Obama his life is based on his next move.

This is not just a reaction, this is flat out singling out of Obama regarding the actions of America.

I'm not going to post it and if you do choose to watch it you can listen to the speech and shut it off before watching the beheading. After the beheading they show the other guy in the same setting and then send a message directly to Obama.

This is what happens when you **** around with a group like ISIS with limited action rather than complete eradication.

This is also what happens when you get in a pissing contest with guys like Putin over Syria. Putin is probably the only guy on the planet who has the same problems with groups like ISIS only instead of working together on an acceptable Middle East plan that is beneficial for us and deadly for extremists we make empty threats and send John Kerry over to get laughed at again.

So what would you do?

If you are a journalist who decides to work in a hostile area, it comes with risks no matter which administration is in power.

I would recommend everyone go and watch the video. It's terrible, but it's necessary to understand our enemy in ISIS.

Go to Liveleak and search "James Wright Foley". Watch it. ISIS has declared war on the United States. They have willfully and intentionally beheaded an American citizen. They are threatening to behead another American captive. He is as good as dead already.

Then contact your representatives and request that Congress and President Obama to declare war on ISIS specifically. Demand that they be pursued by whatever means available and be eradicated. If anyone on earth deserves the full wrath of the U.S. military, it's these evil savages. They are a blight on humanity and should be destroyed.

So what would you do?

Operation Rolling Thunder from Syria to Iraq and destroy ISIS where they live and breath until no one is left with the courage to fly the black flag again. Of course that would probably require a joint cooperative effort with Putin since he is backing the powers that be in Syria.

There would be LOTS of collateral damage, including the women and children moving with ISIS and of course their captives. But unless you want the establishment of a radicalized Islamic state in the Syrian / Iranian region I don't see many alternatives. These guys are serious and us screwing around and making empty threats against the Asaad government while the radicals got organized is what got us into the current state of affairs.

I've seen enough and I don't need to see any more. I have a full understanding of the sunni / shia conflict and wahhabism. I know what they are, I know what they are willing to do.

I wonder if Mr. Foley was coerced into making his statement or if that is the way he really feels. His statement did nothing to change the barbaric nature of ISIS, but only left me scratching my head pondering why he would choose those words when his death was imminent.

I'm going to look for the transcript of it. After the infamous chainsaw video, if it isn't Ogami Itto doing his craft, I have no stomach for it anymore. I saw ISIS's (that name sucks if you have a lisp) 36 min propaganda film and my course of action would my President Bush look like a peace nick.
