Depends on who those balls are going to go after.

Anybody who opposes Islamic terrorism is good in my book. That said, I’m not convinced that Putin will stay the course. He, like anybody else now, is subject to the pressure of PC.

Well, he’s got 2 choices, just continue to do nothing, but I would advise him not to speak to the public about the murder of this second reporter, because he’s just going to be out there talking about a third person and a fourth person, etc.

His second choice is to GET A STRATEGY and then make some statement, not giving the details of it, but just conveying there is one, which is hopefully to carpet bomb these people into smithereens.

I don’t know why he thinks people aren’t going to freak out about this, and even big libs in NYC and DC are freaking out because they know they are in the target zone at all times.

I tell you, I am terrified about 9/11 this year, I don’t think I’ve been this apprehensive since the first few months after 9/11/01, and believe me I’ve got plenty to worry about besides terrorists, so it’s not like I’m being a drama queen with myself.

This feckless, useless man whom the foolish people of this country saw fit to elect and re-elect has squandered and destroyed all the progress Bush made against terrorism.

I think we are, for all intents and purposes right back where we were on 9/10/11, maybe we are even further back than that.

Humanitarian? That’s another word for a fool going off to sleep with jihadists, right? That’s what they did with the left in Latin America in the 1960s. Che never slept alone.

I found something very odd in the news today.

A reporter covering Obama's Marine #1 departure today explained that there are always three helicopters which may carry the president, so as to make it more difficult to do him harm.

A very odd thing to bring up? Almost irresponsible. I think journalists are very, very pissed off at Obama.

Indeed — Bush & Cheney seem to have been following the PNAC policy to build secular democracy in the ME. McCain probably would have continued that policy, had he been elected. After all, he did say US troops would stay in the region for the next hundred years. That sounds like PNAC to me.

Obama has completely inverted that policy, and by encouraging the Arab Spring and pulling out of Iraq, has turned the progress made toward ME democracy upside-down and made the ME safe for a caliphate, as D’Souza projected in “2016”.

Absolutely heartbreaking....

Maybe the Brits can be the superpower since we are unwilling.

Somebody needs to say "for every one of us, we're taking out five thousand of you."

Scumbag, SOB's. Nukes are too good for them.

This is why some of us Freepers admire Vlad Putin.

You admire Putin? How do you feel about Stalin and Lenin?

YouTube is not deleting the video - it is keeping it available.

YouTube is giving ISIS free air time. let that sink in a moment.

Well, His Heinous stated that “We have no strategy” to deal with ISIS (ISIL or the Caliphate…whatever), so we need to move on now.

We must focus on raising the minimum wage.

I do wonder however if much of this ISIS activity is meant to overwhelm Obama’s weak knee’d administration to the benefit of Russia walking thru the Ukraine and Baltic countries without a real response from Americans who’s primary pavlovian mindset is preoccupied with amphetamine riddled ISIS lunatics doing their Thunderdome-Mad Max impression in Iraq and Syria.

“That’s the plan — these recent ISIS beheading videos are meant to goad the US into attacking Syria and taking out Assad, which will leave a vacuum for ISIS / Al Qaeda to swarm in and occupy, just like in Iraq and Libya.”

Huh? The Sec Of Defense said go in to take out ISIS, not take out Assad.

Interesting that neither the NY Times nor the Boston Globe have opened this story to comments....which can bring out the whack jobs

Taking the high road, I would say that those newspapers are showing respect for Mr Sotloff and his family.

Taking the low road, I would say they are not interested in
hearing criticism of our government

Unfortunately, their history as propagandists for this administration...does not give me confidence that they are taking the high road

Are you kidding? Has it escaped everyone’s notice that it was OBAMA HIMSELF who set this whole ‘Caliphate’ up?

What do you think his speech in Cairo and the “Arab Spring” was all about? Why do you think he released the leader of ISIS today from that camp in A’stan in 2010? Why was he arming ISIS in Syria out of the Benghazi Consulate? Obama was Jump starting the demise of the West.

I guess people refuse to believe that Obama is actually intentionally setting us up for punishment, destruction and annihilation.

“Huh? The Sec Of Defense said go in to take out ISIS, not take out Assad.”

Did he say what country they would “take them out” of? My money says they’ll go after ISIS in Syria and lay waste to the Assad government while they’re at it. Oopsie! Then who fills the vacuum? ISIS.

BHO craves nothing more than to get Assad out, for some reason. Last year he tried to characterize Al Qaeda in Syria as “rebels” so we could justify helping them overthrow Assad. Now they’re called ISIS but it’s still the same people.
