Well, during his statement yesterday, President Obama did say ISIS would be brought to justice, so here’s Justice:
Attorney General Eric Holder on Thursday announced that the Department of Justice has “an open criminal investigation” into the brutal killing of photojournalist James Foley by Islamic militants.
“Those who would perpetrate such acts need to understand something,” Holder said in Washington.
“This Justice Department, this Department of Defense, this nation – we have long memories and our reach is very wide,” he said. “We will not forget what happened and people will be held accountable, one way or the other.”
Let this send a message to terrorists who brutally murder Americans: The U.S. Justice Dept. will find you, fly you back to America, supply you with a taxpayer-funded attorney, and put you on trial in a Manhattan civilian court.
Rumor has it Holder’s decision to launch an investigation was sealed after he found out ISIS had an anti-Obama float in a Syrian parade.
Here’s how I see the DOJ investigation playing out: Holder will begin by demanding all ISIS correspondence; ISIS will say that’s all been lost due to a hard drive crash; Holder will then shrug and walk away.
Speaking of Obama’s statement yesterday, his declaration that ISIS would be “brought to justice” was quickly followed by a round of golf. The New York Daily News put it this way:
Maybe they should get the IRS involved, too. And the EPA.
Holder should personally go over there and arrest them.
How is this within the purview of law enforcement? The guy who killed Foley was not American and they were not on American soil. It was an act of war by a foreign combatant.
How can they waster their time on this when they still haven’t punished the killers of Michael Brown? / sarcasm
Oooooh, scary! Somebody’s gonna get a stiff beheading TICKET....!
It was an act of war...
Does the US have jurisdiction in Iraq? Just asking.
Well, a person can hope.
Send the Black Panthers over there to deal with it. :-)
We will arrest John the head-chopper and he’ll have more presumption of innocence than officer Wilson!
Is this Satire?
Holder has too much on his plate enforcing “Just Us” for His People in Ferguson.
Whats does he care about some dead cracker in Iraq?
Holder should be careful not to push this fake rage to the point where he issues a subpoena to isis, because as bold as that group is, they actually would show up in an American courtroom.
OHHH NO Holder is getting involved.NOW HE WILL REALLY GET THINGS DONE../SARCASM.
Maybe we can send the IRS over there to really tax them hard.
The answer to the question everyone is quietly asking themselves is “no, they don’t realize how stupid they look”.
Oh by the way,you can keep your insurance and your doctor as well!
I don’t think this dork Holder could manage overseeing a First Aid box in the DOJ. He’s as useless as “you know what.” Where on earth did these jerks get the idea that TOUGH TALK will get the job done?
Foley wasn't black, was he?
Racist piece of shit.
