S&F!
I agree ... BUT ... Don't you think you are overblowing the issue by posting this in the World War 3 forum?
It's in the World War III forum because when our children's children read about World War III the kidnapping of Westerners across the world will be remembered. Well, so long as good prevails; otherwise they will be completely forgotten.
With Iraq on fire, Ukraine on fire, Syria on fire, Chinese advances on sovereign foreign islands; this is just as connected and is a symptom of the climaxing World War. It could very well add to the tensions that bring us over someone's threshold tolerance.

Meh .. after how israelis treat palestinian children - shooting them , using them as human shields .. imprisoning them .. torturing them .. running ove them with tanks .. murdering them in cold blood because theyre bored sitting in an observation post and laughing abou it ..
No sympathy here if a few israelis got grabbed .. karma in action ..
As to negotiating .. think americans will soon learn how little their government values them when it leaves them hanging out to dry ...

Hmmmm wouldn't be a surprise if they start showing the video of Jihadists with the teenagers bound and gagged demanding the release of their top people.
I won't be surprised when video surfaces of their beheading when we don't grant their terms. Or if there's already video of one of them getting Daniel Pearled just to show us they are serious about killing the remaining two.
And if so, how is that any worse than the dozens/hundreds of Palestinian children that Israel holds indefinitely in solitary confinement without trial?

Starred!
Thank you for your reply!
Now if one of those three kidnapped boys does hold US citizenship ... does that allow Obama to put boots on the ground in Hebron?
Good question, your guess is as good as mine. There's no telling what this President will do. If nothing else but incompetent he's also wildly unpredictable. 3 sixteen year olds with full lives ahead of them caught in a game between a corporate bought buffoon and blood hungry savages.
But will Obama send troops, nah. He'll send an ambassador and turn the light down so he's rested for his Saturday 18 holes.

That's exactly what is happening. IDF has been raiding homes from the West Bank to Jerusalem. 125 arrests so far.
Dude!, Obama has had 6 years to make it better !!!

Who is to say Israel didn't grab these kids just so they had an excuse to do raids and arrests? After all Israel has been caught launching missiles from Gaza so they would have an excuse to attack Gaza.

As far as conspiracy theories go, the war in Iraq conspiracy lost me at, "9/11 was an inside job". So I don't know.

You said the attack on the WTC was "what really brought you over there".
Why?
Also (while I share your antipathy towards your current POTUS) do you realize that the CIA's (and DOD's) ties to islamist Mujahideen precede the Obama-admininistration by at least 10 years (and I'm not even talking about the anti-soviet proxy war in Afghanistan here)?
What do you (as a conservative American) think about that?

There are groups of terrorists that seek to destroy America by any means. On 9/11, they proved that they were capable of doing harm to us. So we went to the middle east to repress the threat.
