American Steven Sotloff - Second American Beheaded by ISIS

By Elizabeth Nelson

Unlike Foley, this American reporter didn't go over seas looking for trouble and wasn't a terrorist sympathizer, he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time when he was captured. He had a heart for the Syrian people, and wrote heartfelt pieces about their oppression under Assad.

“Obama, your foreign policy of intervention in Iraq was supposed to be for preservation of American lives and interests, so why is it that I am paying the price of your interference with my life?” the journalist says calmly as the black clad militant holds a knife casually at his side.

Later the video then cuts to the militant who says, “I’m back, Obama. I’m back because of your arrogant foreign policy towards the Islamic State [ISIS].”

“... [J]ust as your missiles continue to strike our people, our knife will continue to strike the necks of your people,” the figure says.

The camera cuts again and the militant appears to kill Sotloff.

Sotloff was seen alive last month at the end of a very similar video that appeared to show the execution of American journalist James Foley. In that video, the militant told President Obama that Sotloff’s life was in his hands.

Today’s video ends with the armed militant standing at the side of another hostage on his knees, this one identified in the video as David Cawthorne Haines, a British citizen. Continue reading ABCNews 

What a great day to return to #Benghazi #Libya. People here showed the world why Chris Stevens believed in this place http://t.co/xRu4q15G

Sadly, we learned the hard way, through the Libyan war and killing Muammar Gaddafi wound up being a bad thing.  We just changed one bad situation for another, but I do like Sotloff's writing style.

Yet, no one says anything about an al Qaeda flag flying from another flag post of yet another US embassy, just like at Christopher Steven's Benghazi?

However, the 2 dead, 40-injured "Video Protest" at this US Embassy was quiet on the MSM home front. *crickets* Sotloff was most passionate about the Syrian fighters fighting to overthrow Assad,  but as we've seen with Gaddafi, would that be prudent, now that ISIS is here to step in take his place?
