The claim is hardly believable.

Frankly, I don’t believe this or ANYTHING that comes from Obama, his corrupt Administration and any damn democrat.

If true, too little, too late. Heads rolled.

I’m not all that upset about this one, after reading Foley’s ‘background’ as a terrorist sympathizer. Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong.

Sadly, Wisconsin creates & indoctrinates a LOT of Useful Idiots with its uber-liberal publik edjucashun system.

“Pssst, Achmed. The US is planning a commando raid to rescue the hostages “.

“Thanks Val, we will move them”. “Allahu akbar!”

Shades of Carter’s disastrous attempt to free the hostages from the U. S. embassy in Tehran. Waffling half measures, doomed to failure. Only Israel has the know how to pull this kind of thing off.

“Thanks Val, we will move them”. “Allahu akbar!”

Exactly what I’m thinking.

The unusual acknowledgment of a failed secret raid came the day after a video surfaced online showing the beheading of Foley...

Mea not culpa?

The only reason the Bin Laden mission was successful was Obama had nothing to do with it other than giving a green light.
