re: American reporter Steven Sotloff beheaded by ISIS

Yeah, I was just curious if what they said was true - have there been any documented infiltartions

If he was that broken up, he wouldn't have went to play golf less than an hour after talking about the first reporter who was killed...

So, he spoke about the first murder and THEN went to play golf...I don't get the big outrage. What is he supposed to do, go back to his room and sulk all day? You (nor I) could imagine the amount of stress that comes with the territory of being POTUS. That stress needs relief. If he chooses to use a round of golf for that stress relief, I say so be it. Every President has had their own stress relief venues and even had things installed at the White House for it. Nixon had a bowling alley, Eisenhower a putting green, George HW Bush had a horseshoe pit, etc.

POTUS has the National Security Council, the entire DoD, and State Department to work up plans on how to deal with this stuff. He can afford to take a couple hours for stress relief while the team of experts work on the plans.

I'm not defending Obama, but rather the position of POTUS. You guys need to trust that DoD and DoS have tried to work up plans to go in and rescue these guys, but this isn't the movies where you can find these folks on a whim. Look how long it took for us to locate the most wanted man in the world.

Dear Mr. Hussein Obama,

CAN WE PLEASE GO KILL THEM ALL (ISIS) NOW???!!!!

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE.

Maybe we can start beheading ten of their guys for every one of ours... Then film it and broadcast on CNN...

Or during commercial breaks in football games.

I'm being fascitious, of course...




...but still....

I agree.

i like hearing former presidents talk about the stress after they are out.
I remember seeing Bush talking about deciding to shoot the plane in penn down during 9/11 or not. Don't remember if he gave the ok to do it, think he did, but that's a crazy thing to have to decide to do or not. Same with Truman dropping the Abombs. or Obama going after Osama. you forget that they are making the decision to put peoples lives in danger and possible have innocent americans die b/c of their decision, and it's only their decision.

Does anyone think the beheadings are fake??
