If for one second they think that they will get the american people give up and leave because they have a hostage they are mistaken. If they kill him it will be a very big mistake. All that will happen is to strengthen our resolve to get those who captured him and make them pay.

The Islamic mind cannot comprehend the world as we see it. They think that we have nothing to bind us together like Islam supposedly does Muslims. They still have to learn that it is a 'Human' reaction not a 'religious' reaction. It is their belief that their brand of horror will deter us from messing with them. They are wrong, and will end up 'dead' wrong if they keep pushing terrorism as a way to achieve their goals.

Drop a big load on the whole place and level it...

Rabid dogs do not negotiate, do not stop, and aren't curable...what we're dealing with is an infestation of evil...

If this young man doesn't come home alive and well...it's just plain time to level the whole freaking place.

The infestation is spreading...when are you going to get a belly full of it.

When it's your son on the video? Then would you have a bellyful of these rabid dogs?

Humanity, lived on this earth successfully for milleniums as hunter gatherers within the realm of the one nature's law...survival of the fittest. In the last 40,000 years we have come out of nature's law into farmer colonists and political entities, to the point we've invented a weapon that could destroy us all in a matter of hours.

We are now evolving back to nature's law...this is not about religion, it is not about politics, it is not about mind games, and power struggles...it's about humanity, the evil and the good.

Humanity has been infected. Similar to a human who gets ganguerene.

Even with today's modern science, if you get ganguerene in your leg...you cannot save the part of your leg not infected...you have to cut off the whole leg to save the rest. The ganguerene is not negotiatable, it's not stoppable, and it's not curable.

When you run upon a pack of dogs some of which have rabies, you cannot eliminate just the ones at the stage of rabidity...you have to take down the whole pack because it's just simmering in the rest of the pack.

If a snake bites you and almost kills you...are you going to let it hang around your yard just because it was only the head of the snake that bit you and the rest of it's body wasn't involved? NO, you have to take out the whole snake because the good part of the snake cannot exist without the bad.

Nature's law...are you going to lay down and let humanity die and succumb to evil? No.

At some point the good part is going to have to cut off the leg infested with evil.

Nature's law...it's that simple.

"...If they kill him it will be a very big mistake...."

And even if they release him, the war-mongering neos will still advocate murdering them anyway simply because of their choice of religion and government, so what have they got to lose?

Well, I guess if we are going to occupy a country because of what some Saudis did in 2001, we should be prepared for the consequences. This is not a rallying cry for more military there, this is a small cost of the occupation. If we weren't in their back yard, this Soldier would be fine. And it would not be a mistake to kill him in their minds, it would be some measure of retribution for the numerous lives america has taken from Afghan families. I cannot believe there are still some so naive to think that an occupation will no have casualties, and that this occupation will somehow have a positive outcome. We have been there for 8 years, and are no better now than when we went in. KCITS, you have zero resolve to do anything or you would be there already, so pipe down you coward and stop commiting to using American lives so you can thump your chest like some stupid school yard bully.

Well, this is what can happen when the enemy views you as weak.
The libs have emboldening them with their foolish and unrealistic ideas.
With obama, the terrorist knows the worst that can happen to them is 3 square meals a day in a nice comfy bed with all of the constitutional proctection.
Unfortunately, this will encouraged more of the same from these nutjobs. Thanks barrack for keeping us safe.

If a foreign army comes to US and occupies the land, won't you arrest their soldiers.
