The Islamic State released a barbaric video of the Jordanian pilot that was being held prisoner and was used as bargaining chip, burned alive.
Rear Adm. John Kirby held a press conference to address the situation and how the United States plans to respond.

“I can’t–there’s no way I could possibly figure out how to justify it in your brain because it’s so twisted,” Kirby said. “These aren’t the acts of a winner. They’re not winning.”

Stick a fork in us. We’re done. The stupid is everywhere.
Well, they certainly appear to be winning.
The act performed by the ISIS people was indescribably horrible. The statement by this “spokesman” for the United States is trivial. God Help America.
Meh. On the whole, I find the speeches of Winston Churchill to be slightly more stirring.
Do I HAVE to .... ?
ok

If your goal is the fulfillment of Mohammed's dreams of establishing a totalitarian death cult from which there is no possibility of escape, then maybe they are.
Yes they are winning, they have this bunch in power all submissive.
Rear Admiral John Kirby comes across as a wimpy ass-hat.
“These aren’t the acts of a winner.”
Who writes his briefings? Joel Osteen?
“winner”
Is this monopoly or something?
They don’t want to face the fact or admit that Islam is an existential threat.
And they will continue to do so as long as we implement a foreign policy that's good for Saudi Arabia.
The US created the vacuum in which ISIS emerged, and then didn't disintegrate them when they were walking in a column through the desert. Is the US still arming, training, and financing rebels who promise to like us?
A winner?
Actually, when you have video of ISIL handing out UN food to their own troops, and when you feel froggy enough to take on Japan and Jordan . . .
It may not be the act of a winner, but it sure looks like the act of a group of people that knows who and how much they can push other people around and get away with it.
RADM Kirby needs to start wearing a red rubber nose to his briefings.
Well we sure as hell ain't winning.
I hope Jordan burns the prisoner on live TV they have that ISIS wanted to swap for.
Kirby.....Earnest in a uniform.
President Kardashian’s Charlie Sheen foreign policy!
The rapid spread of Islam into America over the last 12 years is proof positive that terror works.
This heinous act will achieve Islam the awe of another generation of feminized west
What the hell does anyone currently at the Pentagon know about winning?
