American ISIS hostage Kayla Mueller has been confirmed dead, the 26-year-old's family confirmed in a statement.
""We are heartbroken to share that we've received confirmation that Kayla Jean Mueller, has lost her life," Mueller's parents said in a statement. "Kayla was a compassionate and devoted humanitarian. She dedicated the whole of her young life to helping those in need of freedom, justice, and peace."
The statement did not elaborate on how it had learned of Mueller's death or the circumstances of her death.

I blame the parents....your child was in solidarity with the Syrian people...that’s nice. But they are muslims, solidarity with what exactly? Now she’s dead, just like the ones she was in solidarity with. And this helped these people how exactly?
Why didn’t you as parents dissuade her more forcefully from going into a muslim hellhole?
Obama is already using it as a DISTRACTION
agreed : like Jordan , a life for a life
No, not for not traveling with her. But by giving us the smug “well I have no sympathy for her” routine. I’m sure she wouldn’t have wanted it anyway.
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
I’ll lump you with the “cold and timid souls”.
She thought that her good intentions were going to save her.
How do you know they didn’t dissuade her? Do you have any children in their early 20’s? Do they do exactly what Mommy and Daddy tell them to do? So its THEIR fault that their adult daughter made her own decision??
Hey.... lets try this. Why don’t we put her death at the feet of the radical Muslim subhumans who killed her. Instead of her parents. Sheeeeeesh.
I made a error? Sure. Go back to drinking.
Why don’t YOU go visit a America hating ME country in the middle of a civil war and let us know how you end up.
Thanks
I have neither the courage nor the conviction to do what Ms. Mueller did. But i won’t sit here at my comfortable desk and tell you “I have no sympathy for her”. I do. She was an idealistic kid who got killed trying to do her small part to make the world a better place.
I wonder if “humanitarian aid workers” are just liberals trying to spread Feminism in the world.
My kids are 17 and 15. They’re be there soon enough.
The outrage from 0bama over the death of a White woman at the hands of subhuman non-Christian dark-skinned savages will begin shortly..........
waiting.....
yeah well good luck telling them what they should do when they’re in their early 20’s, and expecting them to do just that.
She knew the risks and still took them. But this wasn’t a victim-less deal. If anything, she had a casual disregard for her family. In that part of the world, it’s not a matter of “if something will happen” but “when”.
It may be a noble thing to go to North Korea to push for reforms but it won’t go well for you.
careful... Laz post was informative, not pejorative.
Sorry, but you can make the argument that anyone who signs up to join the Marines or the Army has a “casual disregard” for their family also. And plenty of people have gone to that part of the world and returned safely.
Part of having children is accepting that at some point they become adults who are responsible for their own decisions.
Except that the military isn’t a matter of “when”. Very few military people get kidnapped so it’s not a valid comparison. The military is actually quite safe
Obama will probably play an extra round of golf in her memory.
Murdered by Islam, blaming Jordan.
Obama suiting up to go on a mission and Brian Williams being his co-pilot?
We’ve had that scenario since 2008.
