It is now being reported that one of the men beheaded was a Franciscan priest identified as Francois Murad.

Without making any case for the Assad regime, how in God's name can we be giving arms and any kind of assistance to this bunch? Whatever geo-political considerations may exist, we need to wash our hands of this. Those victims could someday be our own soldiers.

Maybe we're giving arms to a different bunch, who are also fighting Assad?
Are you really pretending that those fighting Assad are politically united and fighting under a unified chain of command?
It may not be feasible, but it would be desirable to boost those fighting Assad who are NOT pulling off this kind of stuff, preferably making them strong enough to destroy those who are.
Looks like we are batting 3 for 3 in backing the wrong people
Iran uprising
Syria
and now Egypt.
A certified idiot could do better.
And now he is promoting better trade relations with that crucial county, Tanzania. I don't know what they produce to trade, but what difference does it make? He is having a good time on his vacation.
