THE OBAMA DOCTRINE: Half Measures, Butt-Kissing, And Gestures Lead To Another Dead American By ISIS

Another American dead at the hands of ISIS and this administration’s dealings with terrorists is what’s to blame.

Yet another American is dead at the hands of ISIS.

Kayla Jean Mueller was an idealistic 26-year-old volunteer who’d been held hostage in Syria by the Islamic State for nearly two years before being killed.

In the handwritten letter home released by her family, she expresses concern about being a source of anxiety to her parents and makes clear a peace rooted in her faith in God. She had been kidnapped while she was working with refugees in Syria.

After Jordan airplanes struck back at ISIS fighters for burning to death one of their pilots, the Islamic State claimed Mueller had been killed in the raid. US authorities say this is doubtful.

But even if it were true, the blood would still be on ISIS’s hands. Indeed, their actions explain why they are terrorists: They took this civilian woman prisoner and held her in a war zone.
