That was simply false equivalence on Mr. Ohio's part. In July 2014, U.S. President Barack Obama authorized a "substantial and complex" rescue operation after the U.S. intelligence community said a "broad collection of intelligence" led to believe that the hostages were being held at a specific location in Syria. However, the mission failed because the hostages had been moved. The operation involved special operations forces from multiple branches of the US military, including the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment, helicopters, fixed wing aircraft and drones.When Delta Force commandos landed in the eastern Syrian city of Raqqa, they were met with gunfire and it became apparent that the hostages had been moved. ISIL suffered numerous casualties while American forces suffered a single minor injury. The operation was only declassified after Foley's death. It represented the first confirmation of U.S. troops operating on the ground within Syria during the Syrian Civil War. [Wikipdia] To say that Obama did nothing to try to help Foley is a lie.

I was horrified by Foley's death as I am by Khashoggi's. To suggest otherwise is a lie.

Wow! I missed that too! Trump approved of the murder of Khashogi?

Repeating the Saudi rationale for killing him like Trump and Mr. Oho have done without a counter argument or condemnation is tantamount to approval.

Those are your questions. But you seem to have ignored his question -- if you are so outraged now, why were you so silent before?

Obama tried to save Foley and authorized attacks on his murderers after he was killed. Trump said he intends to remain a steadfast partner of Saudi Arabia and said he would take no action. Again you're making a false equivalence.

Wow, how could I miss so much! It is amazing what Zeek is able to infer with his tea leaves. I didn't know Ohio thought Khashoggi was the "evil enemy" or that he thought it was OK to kill journalists that worked for the Washington Post.

It's my inference based on his expressed hatred for liberals and the liberal media. Those are his enemies, not the murdering Saudi prince.

I don't think you did get it. I think you simply heard the demons speaking in your own mind.

You're entitled to your opinion even if it is based on an antiquated unscientific folk theory of human psychology.
