So, The CIA, sorry ISIS, allegedly behead Andrew Foley. ISIS were probably expecting the ‘usual’ follow on of ‘not’ negotiating with terrorists. At the very least America would declare war. So how did the former Al-CIA-da outfit react when they saw the response their hastily put together video:

Well, they clearly went away, had a rethink, ordered in some much better equipment and decided to try again.

What I found interesting is that I-CIA-sis stated the next beheading would be a British man. What better way to get Britain to do EXACTLY what America want? Don’t forget Britain said they didn’t want a war with Russia. Of course THIS time, things have to be seen to be done ‘properly’.
I notice that Obama referred to I-CIA-sis as ISIL. But I thought they changed their name to just ‘IS’?
So, what is Cameron going to do? He already stated Britain were not interested in fighting Russia for the US. After that public announcement, this militant group threaten to kill a Brit? Doesn’t that sound just a little too neat to you? A little too timely? Convenient? Well it would, if Cameron announced any kind of conflict with I-CIA-sis
Great! Good on the Brits.

Shit.
‘Cameron has already told MP’s he regards Isis as a threat to the British way of life, and has not ruled out RAF involvement in air strikes’.
‘Cameron is certain to confer with the US president, Barack Obama, at the Nato summit in Wales on Thursday, both about the threat to further hostages and the wider strategy to combat Isis’.
Cameron, you don’t have the brains you were born with. You are seriously talking to Obama about launching a strike on the team HE created? That’s kind of like me telling my friend I am going to steal their money from them, before I actually do it (not that I would. Some of us have morals Dave). Wake up you idiot!
How convenient that this has come about just one day before Dave and Barack are scheduled to get together. Why not the day after? A week later?
Ask yourself who stands to gain by this threat coming out now, after Cameron knew for months that a Brit was being held hostage. After Cameron sent a team in to rescue this guy and failing. Surely if Cameron knew, Obama MUST know?
Why didn’t Obama send in a team to rescue the Americans? Why didn’t Obama and Cameron work together then, when it mattered.
As I said, little too convenient.
