U.S. Hostage Pleads to Obama to Save His Life in al Qaeda Video [Terrorists Stronger]
WALL STREET JOURNAL ^ | 5/7/12

Posted on 05/07/2012 6:20:47 AM PDT by SoFloFreeper

American hostage Warren Weinstein says in a video released late Sunday by al Qaeda that he will be killed unless U.S. President Barack Obama agrees to the militant group's demands.

"My life is in your hands, Mr. President," Mr. Weinstein said in the video. "If you accept the demands, I live; if you don't accept the demands, then I die."

Yes, but what a campaign opporunity this is - “I killed Bin Laden AND personally saved Warren Weinstein”.

I would not put past this regime an arrangment made to create a little theater in order make Obama appear to be the bold rescuer.

If Hussein “rambo” 0bama could single handedly kill Bin Laden, surely he can rescue an American citizen that is held captive...


We should suit him up and get the USAF to drop him in.

Based on Jesse’s public statements, I don’t think he is fond of Mr. Weinstein’s people.

Well Warren, you found out about the downside of choosing to work in an unstable Islamo-hellhole.

You took the paycheck. I hope it was worth it.

Yep. I hope he doesn’t end up like Daniel Pearl did. An American Jew in Pakistan.. Can’t take much higher risk than that!

My response would be “Release him, or we execute every prisoner in Guantanamo, AND kill the next 1000 Jihadis we capture.”
“And, if we find out who you are, we’ll kill you AND every member of your family that we can locate.”

Yep, it’s the only way to deal with these muzzie terror mongers.

Mr. Obama doesn’t care about this man’s vote. He needs to solicit more Hollywood millions right now.

Can he get back to you in 2013?

If this goes the way it probably will, it’ll work out the same way the Carter hostage issues did.

He will get released the day Obama leaves office?

Warren was a professor of mine and a terrific person...worked with me on an ambitious project which we met on every Saturday in the summer of ‘76..These monsters who captured this good man are evil slime....he was there helping the people these terrorists claim to be representing...
I pray for his release every day...

look for a successful rescue mission in early october and a victorious dear leader speech and grateful hostage to parade around...

i believe that is what is being planned... sad to say.

Bump for a good <sarc> post.

Where, oh where, can we have gone wrong?

One of my problems with Romney is that he'll hit the door as fast as Obozo and sign off on all his DoD-weakening budget cuts, to get money for "business tax cuts" for The Boys Downtown.

I don't see Romney doing squat for the country, if he gets elected. He's too preoccupied with white horses and stuff.
