Alan Henning, a volunteer humanitarian worker and Muslim, the fourth hostage held by the terror group ISIS/ISIL has been executed by his captors according to global media agencies. He was kidnapped in Syria.
President Obama, who has galvanized the world in the fight against ISIS, cannot be individually held responsible for the continued violence of the Islamic State fighters and as the leader of the most powerful nation in the world some responsibility rests squarely upon him.
Alan Henning was a civilian, a Muslim, involved in humanitarian projects that led him to Syria. He was kidnapped and held along with American journalists James Foley and Stephen Sotloff, and fellow Brit, David Cawthorne Haines, also a British Humanitarian Aid worker, all have been executed by the terror organization Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.
Henning was last seen alive at the end of the tape of Haines' murder and has become a telltale sign of the next hostage killing.
President Obama, has gained the world and lost the respect of the people and direction as his desire to dismantle Syrian President Basher al-Assad has become a blinder to his regional foreign policy efforts.
American citizens have little rank or respect against the President Obama's desire to secure a democratic government and dispose Assad.
At a time when strength of a nation is not only determined by the ability to galvanize a world against a new, rising terror insurgent the leader of this regime must know the American citizen working, living, abroad in any region supersedes the president's singular war for a personal legacy.
The beheading of Alan Henning could and frankly should back fire against the president who placed party and agenda above the global respect of the American citizen. At a time when impotent and olive branch foreign policies are this white house's legacy President Obama must be held responsible and by association those seeking election in the upcoming mid-terms also.
President Obama and his coalition could have exhausted any number of options including military airstrikes, Navy seals, trained assassins or any other possibility or military choice necessary to dismantle the jihadists who drawn the knife without concern.
Three strikes, Mr. President, we trusted you and now you're out. It is time for the American people to speak.
This is a developing story.
