US journalist's murder
2014-08-22
[DAWN] The beheading of an American journalist by the gunnies of the self-proclaimed organization the Islamic State highlights once again the barbaric mindset that has become the hallmark of terror groups worldwide.

But, as made clear by Washington, Foley's murder is not going to make America change its policy. Calling Foley's murder "an act of violence that shocks the conscience of the entire world", President Barack Obama

#1  Just before the journalist was beheaded Obama returned to the White House for two days. When Obama left the White House to go back on vacation the journalist was beheaded (after their ransom demands and or the release of a key member, "lady Al Qaeda" was not released?).

Was the short interruption of Obama's vacation and the beheading of the journalist related. Was the journalist immediately beheaded due to Obama's failure in possible last minute negotiations.

The is important as it would have a huge impact on Obama's relations with a key ally of his, the Main Stream Media.
