Seems like we're shooting missiles into Pakistan and Yemen with less frequency.

Public information appears to be hard to come by and contradictory, but it looks like yes.

A few hundred maybe as a result of direct action.

[Kaius]

no way I'm watching that shit.

[Thejambi]

I haven't watched it. I may.

[E.H. Ruddock]

You might want to tag it as NSFW and put that link in a spoiler.

[Thejambi]

We all realize that it is not a link to the video, right?

[Kaius]

I do. That link has nothing terrible on it, other than the links to the terrible things.

[Kaius]

Did you watch it, thejambi? Is anyone going to watch it?

[Heathen]

I just jerked off to it. It was pretty great.

[McParadigm]

Great.

Now we're 4-chan.

[Heathen]

I didn't really jerk off. I was just suavely touching myself.

[Kaius]

Did this just become our snuff thread?

a quick search on reddit and i found a picture of James Foley's remains.

it's disgusting. unfortunately, our allies (Saudi Arabia) do this to their own people. in public. so i'm very confused with our country's response.

i don't mean the fact that we have to work with the Saudi's (b/c we have no choice), but what i thought was confusing was this quote:

• The president called the militants’ ideology “bankrupt” and not of “any value to human beings.”

i could see a response that gives more cover to our allies:

"although this is considered proper capital punishment in this part of the world, Jim Foley committed no crime against any state. let me be clear, ISIL is not recognized as a sovereign nation..." and then roll right into the "cancer" talk.

Yeah, we wouldn't want to hurt anybody's feelings or anything.
Capital punishment is a far cry from a terrorist group executing a hostage, a journalist no less, as part of some pathetic display of "power".
