James Foley. American. Journalist.
James Foley, 40, died a horrible death. But he showed extreme courage in his last moments. It is one of those times when we are reminded that being an American contains the possibility of great pain to be mixed with the great determination to be vessels of liberty." ~~~~~~ "How little we know of what there is to know. I wish I were going to live a long time instead of going to die today because I have learned much about life in these four days; more, I think than in all other time. I'd like to be an old man to really know. I wonder if you keep on learning or if there is only a certain amount each man can understand. I thought I knew so many things that I know nothing of. I wish there was more time." ___Ernest Hemingway, For Whom The Bell Tolls. ~~~~~
"Never send to know for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for thee." ___John Donne.

A true American patriot...
ReplyDeleteJames Foley was an American - an American that needed and deserved more “help” from his government than was never forth coming.
ReplyDeleteNo Journalist, no person that’s not involved in the actual war that they report back about or lend a helping hand or a hot meal & some comfort to rest for the soldier that does the fighting deserves a concerned government that will stand by them if captured and/or detained.
James Foley was a caring individual if you dig around in his life. He took care of others as he saw their need. He did his job better than most. I’m sure I wouldn’t go to war without a gun. It must be scary with only a cameraman and recorder.
Thank you for your dedication to reporting the truth. RIP Jim.
Today is about James Foleyand nothing more.its about the passing if a fine young man who tried to improve life. So even if you didn't know Jim or know his work - spend some time thinking of what his passing means to family and friends. And those that he may have helped but won't now.
ReplyDeleteMaybe another day soon Casey Pops will revisited the cause and effect of Jim's passing.
Former CIA Deputy Director Mike Morell called the beheading the "first act of terrorism against the US by ISIS", and so it is. Benghazi also was a direct terrorist attack by Muslim terrorists which resulted in the deaths of 4 Americans. And it happened on the anniversary of 9/11. Obama has never retaliated for that day nor has he brought anyone to justice for Benghazi.
ReplyDeleteHe will do exactly the same for dead American James Foley. Obama will do nothing. The Islamic State knows this, and is preparing many, many more high profile executions of Americans.
For that, and for the good of America, he should be removed from his office immediately.
