James Foley Went Looking to Support Terrorists in Syria, Instead They Cut Off His Head
FrontPageMag ^ | August 19, 2014 | Daniel Greenfield

Posted on 08/20/2014 3:50:14 PM PDT by wtd

James Foley was one of a new breed of activists calling themselves journalists. He didn’t travel to report on a story, but to promote an agenda. And the agenda was obvious from his Twitter feed.

[snip]

Foley came to Syria to support the Sunni Islamist rebels against the Syrian government.

He cheered on the Sunni Muslim terrorists fighting to ethnically cleanse the Christians of Aleppo. In the conflict between Israel and Hamas, his tweets and retweets were chock full of pro-terrorist propaganda.

Ernie Pyle didn’t embed with the Japs and Germans, and write anti American stories.
This guy wasn’t fit to shine Pyle’s shoes.

They have his Twitter account...

Yes, I noticed that when I went to their site. I even scanned a couple of the Twitter posts.

But my remarks still stand. If one has solid evidence that Foley supported the ethnic cleansing of Christians (as was asserted), put that evidence right on the main article.

Don't expect your readers to go searching through dozens or hundreds of posts.

Nick Berg was more of a businessman in Iraq than any sort of political supporter of any aspect of Islam. And of course, he’s head being forcibly removed from his body was that much rhapsodic because he was the sons of monkeys and pigs or as they might call him in colloquial style, a dirty Jew.

Hmmm...was kind of wondering about that. There seems to be a trend of activists calling themselves “journalists”. Even so, its was a h@ll of a way to go.

His last statement before he got his head cut off was a very anti-American
statement. It is in the video. What part of that do you not understand.
His statement is not speculation, it is FACT.

WTH? For all we know he might have been threatened with weeks of horrid torture (before decapitation) if he didn’t.

The man knew he was about to get his head cutoff.
Yet his true feelings came out in his last statement.

No one, and I mean no one deserves to have their head sawed off.

Foley didn't. One would think the man who did the sawing deserved it, but I would not favor doing it even to him so perhaps you were right.

Don’t know why the Left is so rabidly pro-Islamic imperialism and pro-Communist imperialism under the guise of being “anti-Western imperialism”.

Thanatos.

The one that cut Berg’s head off were the predecessor to this bunch.

The leader’s name was Zarqawi(SP?), IIRC.

Documents were found indicating Osama bin Laden wasn’t all too happy about NB getting his head cut off, it ruined the purpose of the video and made it useless apparently.

Nick Bergs father was with International ANSWER and said after his son got his head cut off the terrorist had just killed their best friend.

In short, our little lefty friends were collaborating with the terrorist to produce a propaganda video and it was ruined by NB getting his head cut off.

That is what started the fallout between this bunch and OBL/al Qaida.

The divide between this bunch and OBL was completed when this bunch planned a terrorist attack for NYC, October 2005, without getting OBL’s permission.

Al Qaida began providing info to the US military about Zarqawi’s whereabouts and he was turned into hamburger with a few 500# bombs IIRC.

IMO, this latest beheading is a message to our little lefty friends, thanks for arming us but you don’t control us.

Maybe, maybe not. ISIS might have staged many mock executions before the real one, with different people for Foley to denounce each time.

I'm saying this because that was a common nazi interrogation control tactic. The nazis were masters of this "art", and ISIS is just following in the footsteps of the nazis.

His final statement was to slander America and to support the Islamist cause. He did it with gusto, not looking at all like it was against his will.
Lots of men have stayed true even facing imminent death. He turned traitor. An example is the Doolittle raiders who were beheaded, none of them gave final statements badmouthing their country.
I stand by it even if we know his family.
No reverence for a traitor.
