"Internet Video Purports to Show Beheading of US Reporter Steven Sotloff by Islamic State Group"

"The Islamic State militant group released a video purporting to show the beheading of U.S. hostage Steven Sotloff, the SITE monitoring service reported on Tuesday."

"A masked figure in the video also issued a threat against a British hostage, a man the group named as David Haines, and warned governments to back off "this evil alliance of America against the Islamic State", the monitoring service said."

 
 
The president of the Unites States is yet to declare war against ISIS.

Can we just carpet bomb these clowns already?

I mean, just go in & kill every last one of them. They are the enemies of mankind. It's not like anyone is going to miss them.

Go on TV & tell ISIS that we intend to use the full power of the US to hunt them down & kill them. Call out the leadership by name & tell them that they & their families are now marked men.

And then make sure that they all do end up dead.

The Dude said...

That's some funny stuff right there - we can't carpet bomb DC - wait, that's what you were talking about, right?

I hope the use of the word "purports" means the video is a fraud.

Eric the Fruit Bat said...

I'm not about to look at it to find out.

Eric the Fruit Bat said...

Somewhat along the same lines, I assume the U.S. doesn't release video of the aftermath of a drone strike.

The Dude said...

Real or fake, we know for a fact that our "leadership" is a sham.

I guess that's what happens when a muzzie is in charge - muzzies run wild.

Althouse and Meade have blood on their hands, not that they care.

Neither Paul Schulte nor NIck Spinelli knows enough about recent history to discuss it intelligently.
One sounds like he’s a big fan of Mein Kampf. and the other one acts annoyed that he can’t watch the Three Stooges whenever he needs an intellectual (sic) fix.

They said that if we elected Obama there would be hope and change, but I didn't think they meant that's all we would have.

Lets just all hope it's not true. Maybe the President can declare a national day of hope with candles, and national discussions, and ribbons and awards of some type. Yea that's it, we'll give out some awards for stuff, and have a few dance numbers and drinks, yea, lots of drinks, and good food. $30K per plate.

The Dude said...

Noneya, AKA Unknown, do you realize that you make no sense whatsoever?

Sure, you have a hard-on for Spinelli, but he's not here right now.

Go back to your little padded cell and defile your keyboard in peace.

The "don't stupid stuff" strategy is not working.

The Dude said...

What?

Eric the Fruit Bat said...

In the 300 movie sequel I saw last night, there were quite a few decapitations. Fake, I know, but still not my thing.

At one point, the bad girl, played by Eva Green (whose variety of beauty isn't really my thing, either) cuts some guy's head off and holds it aloft and open-mouth kisses it.

I think maybe the terrorists should consider taking a page from her playbook, if they want people to think they're seriously badass.

The bar's been set pretty high.

bagoh20 said...

There is nothing bad ass about capturing positions from forces that run away, or capturing unarmed journalists, or beheading an unarmed, non-violent man who is bound. These videos should not impress anyone, least of all real warriors or their leaders. They show how depraved, unprofessional, and in need of killin' they are, and little else.

The Dude said...

Whose side was this particular journalist on?

edutcher said...

The president of the Unites States is yet to declare he's done playing golf, too.

Nick,

Sorry I didn’t get the joke but you are always so deadly serious about ‘ the vile’ Holder – how was I to know that it was an example of Spinelli hilarity and not a copy of a submission for the Sludge Report?

Hoping to avoid your opprobrium in the future, how can I differentiate between the two?

Wait. I know. I’ll ask for supporting documentation and I’ll hope I won’t get your curious explanation why you are not like the rest of us who are happy to supply some kind of support – support that is just a bit more substantial than your own inestimable. and esteemed opinion

Aridog said...

Noneya and Unknown....did I miss something? Don't recall seeing Spinelli or Schulte on this thread. Are you trolls from elsewhere? Like the Turley blog perhaps? Nothing wrong with Turley's blog, but why are you trolling here? Bored or something?

Amartel said...

Massive ordnance air blast.
They're out in the open right now. In a month they'll be even more dug in amongst the population.

What's O'Dumbo waiting for? Does he want to give them a head start, an advantage? He's been briefed on this group or a YEAR.

Ask it this way: What evidence is there that Obama does NOT want to give this ratfucks an advantage?

Amartel said...

Please don't watch this video. They want you to watch the video.
You get all the outrage you need just looking at that photo.

Amartel said...

Profiles in Courage: Killing an unarmed civilian who is tied up behind enemy lines and far from rescue all while wearing a headscarf over your face in case someone recognizes you. This has been described as "an effective recruiting tool." (They forgot to add, "for TOTAL DOUCHEBAGS.")

Rest in Peace, Steven Sotloff. You deserved better than this President. We all did but you are the one who has most obviously and hideously suffered for it this day.

Rabel said...

The only positive I can see anywhere is that ISIS may have made a mistake by challenging Obama personally.

Perhaps his ego will motivate him to do the right thing for once.

Probably not. Most likely just a moderately more aggressive air campaign after he finds a couple of Europeans to hold his hand.

But he has to respond.

ricpic said...

Obama WANTS these beheadings. He WANTS America humiliated. He WANTS America impotent. He gets off on our demoralization. President Resentment & Revenge is very close to winning, lest you haven't been paying attention.

Christy said...

Time to reintroduce the custom of eunuchs to the Middle East.

Dust Bunny Queen said...

Hi Inga.

How far is Obama going to let these terrorists push? It is one thing to be a coward and appeaser on your own time, but he is the President and represents ALL of us (supposedly). Man....he is making us look weak.

When you look and act weak bad things will happen. September 11 is just around the corner. Remember last 9-11.... Bengazi. This time I'm afraid it will be somewhere in the United States. Think Obama can ignore that?

Amartel said...

AND/OR he's already checked out
AND/OR he's stalling and dithering because he's not a "war" guy
AND/OR he's debating the generals as to the best strategery
AND/OR he's polling his base
AND/OR he's in cahoots with Iran
AND/OR he's waiting for this IS thing will slide off the front page like all his other bungling scandals so he can pivot to himself again (Fundraisers!)
AND/OR he's an obvious standard-issue academic hack who's completely and hopelessly out of his depth, and always has been since the 8th grade, and never should have been elected President

Christy said...

Drudge is red highlighting a report that jets have gone missing after Islamists took over the airport in Tripoli. Getting ready for 9/11?

Unknown said...

but but but... it was the video.


We all deserve what we get because someone somewhere is insulting the profit.

oh wait, I wasn't talking about yet another Obama fund raiser.

The prophet. Don't insult, or the left will support Hamas. Oh wait.

Unknown said...

How to recruit angry douchebags.


Indeed. F*ckers all need to die.

rcocean said...

"I mean, just go in & kill every last one of them. They are the enemies of mankind. It's not like anyone is going to miss them."

Uh, I dunno. Maybe, because it would kill a lot of innocent people and result in more blowback.

BTW, lots of innocent people, who don't happen to be journalists, are being kill all over the world by thugs. Want to carpet bomb them too?

The Dude said...

Aw damn, DBQ - you nailed it.

I had forgotten all about Inga Einsatzgruppen.

Aridog said...

DBQ & 60-Grit ....okay, I'll bite: What nickname is Allie Oop/Inga/Annie/Ingemouse/et al ad infinitum using now?

Rabel said...

"Uh, I dunno. Maybe, because it would kill a lot of innocent people and result in more blowback."

We didn't get a lot of blowback from the Japanese or the Germans.

The Dude said...

No blow back at all from the dead ones.

Unknown and Noneya - the anti-Spinner tirades are the giveaway. Sick and twisted, but that's our Inge...

Aridog said...

60-grit....seems like a lot of trouble to switch nicks all the time. However, I don't care...I knew the two you cited were BS anyway...off topic and mentioning folks not on this thread...but on Turley's. Turley's seems like a good place, pity he has the crazy lady monitoring his site.

The Dude said...

I would imagine it would be simple to have more than one blogger account.

The Dude said...

Mmm, slug...

Don't worry guys, I negative #hashtagged these ISIS fools on Twitter and down voted them on Reddit. All will be well soon. Smartphone diplomacy FTW.

LOL. Poor Nick — always looking for love in all the wrong blogs.

C'est cargo cult

The Dude said...

What are you suggesting, CL - that Meade is Inga? That Althouse is married to Inga? That Meade is married to Inga? Althouse is Inga?

If I wish to indicate the number 3 and hold up 3 fingers instead of my thumb and 2 fingers, will that result in a bloodbath in a bar?

Inga approves. Jim Bridger, too.
