Discussion: ISIS Reportedly Murders A Second American Journalist

Absolutely, I agree. ISIS got the headline they wanted. But let’s not give them the publicity in photo optics they desire at the same time. Also, baiting readers in this way is deplorable practice. The headline speaks for itself.

Those two things are not mutually exclusive.

Not possible when they’re spread out in terrain of tens of thousands square miles.

I doubt they’ll do that since they see themselves as being pure in the eyes of Allah. To them touching an infidel woman is like smoking or drinking.

Not in this case. The Saudis are terrified of ISIS. It’s a direct chalange to the Al Saud monarchy. The declaration of a Caliphite excludes, by definition, their rule.

Something seems familiar about this. What could it be?

As long as Obama is POTUS we won’t be doing something dumb like invading Syria to show that we have huge testicles but they do underestimate us by using the very same tactics they use so successfully in their own region.

We don’t pay ransom

We don’t quake in our boots

We DO get very very angry

And we Will, in our own time, execute a plan that leads to their extermination.

These ain’t the Bush/theDICK years…

And a Republican may yet someday make it back in to the White House, so I suppose it’s not impossible. But not anytime soon.

A war of choice is one thing. But I don’t see a choice here. If you care about innocent people you have to act if you can.

ISIS…FUCKING COWARDS…be heading a journalist…FUCKING COWARDS.

somewhere Obama is playing golf and not giving a shit

NPR reported today that he may have been killed several weeks ago. I’m not sure why they waited to release the evidence if that’s the case.

No matter who is doing the reporting this is one fact they are not bringing up,or question they should be asking.and IMHO we the American people know who started all this.And to see the people who cheerleaded us into to Iraq are know demanding something be done.

At least not yet no Cheney and company on the tube talking about this.
