Peter Kassig Beheaded By Islamic State; 'Today We Grieve,' Obama Says
By PATRICK J. MCDONNELL. U.S. aid worker Peter Kassig beheaded by Islamic State, White House confirms Peter Kassig is third U.S. citizen known to have been beheaded by Islamic State
Islamic State militants have beheaded Peter Kassig, a U.S. aid worker and ex-Army Ranger who was captured last year in Syria while on a private humanitarian mission, the White House confirmed Sunday.
U.S. officials authenticated a 16-minute video, released on various social networks by the militant group earlier in the day. The video also includes footage of the mass beheading of men said to be Syrian government soldiers.
"Today we offer our prayers and condolences to the parents and family of Abdul-Rahman Kassig, also known to us as Peter," President Obama said in a statement released by the White House, using the name Kassig adopted after converting to Islam. "We cannot begin to imagine their anguish at this painful time."

Grieving is for people who don’t have the ability to kick ass.
Another Double Bogey????
We grieve??? What an anus. Did he say this before or after the headed off to a fundraiser?
FAEs and MOABs. Use them anywhere these savages congregate.
Well said.
I guess this community organizer would have said this if he were President after 9/11
Finish you statement, Mr. President. Did you mean to say; “Today we grieve, but tomorrow we golf!”?
What a pyle.
“Today we grieve.”
Tomorrow,another fundraiser.
Notice how he offers condolences using the muslim name Kassig took after being kidnapped?
It’s called twisting the knife - he is an evil man!
Abdul-Rahman Kassig, also known to us as Peter
he was a muslim and they killed him anyway...
Wait. What? Abdul-Rahman aka Peter???
So he was a Moose Limb convert or what?
Shouldn't he have at least appealed for restraint from anti-MooseLimb backlash? No. Wait. I'm confused. Tell me again when it's necessary to refrain from anti-MooseLimb backlash?
Shouldn't Obola sic the FBI on the beheader and charge him with a hate crime or something?
What a screwed up world. Wonderland had nothing on Obamaworld.
I am sure this is a sad day for this man’s family and I will pray for them.
That aside, he is one more brutal death at the hands of other brutal people.
Those people want us to engage them in a blood bath in Iraq and Syria. I don’t think we should play. Let those who are there, and who have something to lose play their games. Let the Kingdom send troops. Let Jordan send troops. This is not our fight.
If we engage with them, the ONLY way we win is by going total war on them. And America doesn’t understand that, and we do not have the heart for it.
Unless America is willing to use our heavy weapons, we will lose. Our leaders cannot lead. We restrict our soldiers. We waste money by dropping smart bombs to avoid hurting those people who won’t fight for themselves.
Let them kill each other. Tell the house of Saud they need to get their hands dirty.
Yeah yeah yeah Barry ... we get it ....
No. A pilonidal cyst.
“Obama concluded: “ISIL’s actions represent no faith, least of all the Muslim faith which Abdul-Rahman adopted as his own. “

Of course not,idiot.
.
Just think how fast they would be destroyed if polidiots stayed out of our troops way at war with these murdering punks for 90 days....... Our troops could use 89 days of rest.
BUMPING that. WTF is "grieving" going to do against ISIS?
