ISIS has now beheaded a second American hostage. According to the SITE Intelligence Group, the terror group posted a video showing the killing of Steven Sotloff, a journalist who has been held for months but whose captivity was made public only two weeks ago, when he was shown at the end of the video depicting James Foley’s killing.
Though I have not seen the video, a still image circulating online shows a similar setup to that of the Foley killing, with Sotloff kneeling in an orange jumpsuit in a desert landscape next to a fighter in a black mask holding a knife. The New York Times reports:
In the video, Mr. Sotloff describes himself as “paying the price” for the Obama administration’s decision to strike ISIS targets in Iraq. The same masked fighter with British-accented English who appeared in the video of Mr. Foley’s beheading also appears beside Mr. Sotloff, asserting, “I’m back, Obama, and I’m back because of your arrogant foreign policy towards the Islamic State.”
The first question brought on by the repetition of this horror is how long it can continue.

There will be more fundraising events and golf trips for the Dear Reader.
It’s as if the Crusades are starting and the village idiot and court jester have somehow taken over the throne room of the most powerful kingdom in Christendom and are dictating utter nonsense to the nobles, generals and knights.

Somebody please nuke these SOBs? They’ve been using up oxygen far too long.
Let’s not all lose our heads......
Obama needs to draw a red line.
All in the hope that they will stop beheading journalists. If they had only beheaded American missionaries, we wouldn't be having this discussion today.
I understand you can buy strategies pretty cheap on eBay.
There will be more headless corpses of Americans?
nuke them.....
Is the MSM outraged yet? What do they intend to do?
Generally, over the past six years....a strategy in the White House tends to mean that the President watched enough news....got his own opinion, and then told the staff how he felt. That was the strategy development stage.
They’re going to need more photographers and maybe a few journalist, but as long as someone wants a picture, people seem to line up to take them.
They won’t run out of people.
Nothing but if a Republican who’s not a mush is elected president in a couple of years payback will be harsh.
LOL. You are funny.
Maybe if they start lopping things off in Ferguson we will see
something. Anything?
I did indicate it takes a certain kind of Republican president to deal harshly with IS...mushes will only follow Obama’s pattern.
