I agree, it’s just that we don’t have the leaders willing to stand up.

And are holding Steven Sotloff as the next beheading if Obama continues to bomb. They directly challenged and said Obama’s name.

It would be better if all of our congress critters and family members had a good look just before dinner.

Not going to watch the video.

But, if it were up to me, they’d be picking up pieces of charred terrorists for years.

I hate to say it but if he was also in the orange jump suit, he is probably already dead.

When he was captured (the first time) in Libya, James Foley prayed the rosary— Go to 57:45 through 58:20 here:

From PBS Newshour:

“James Foley, a freelance journalist who contributed to the GlobalPost, NBC News and the PBS NewsHour was reportedly killed this week by his Islamic State Group captors. Foley has been missing since November of 2012, when he was abducted in Syria. GlobalPost led the efforts to keep track of Foley after his abduction, and suspected that Foley was being held in a Syrian government detention center.”

Interesting that it was thought he was being held by the Syrian government. What that tells me is that US journalists know nothing about what is happening in Syria and have no reliable sources.

ISIS is apparently threatening the life of another held journalist, Steven Soltoff.

Well most clearly don't and the mix of accurate information, rumor, and disinformation is such that one cannot "rely" upon any of it. It was the same way in the Balkans. It's the same way ANYWHERE Islam has infested but is also endemic to that maxim of truth being the first casualty of war.

The video should be trumpeted in the clouds, not hidden. All of Western civ should see their future unless they act against these barbarians now.

I agree...The entire world needs to see it...And along side of it, a video showing cluster and napalm bombs with the voice of a leader who is willing to use them...

ISIS has been posting the beheadings of many people, and the murder of thousands more.

What makes this particular guy special?

They also seem to be tweeting about a group of US Special Forces captured in the last couple of hours, as well.

Where? More info please.

Uhh... did you watch the video? They evidently used a small knife. They did it slowly.
