I think you're right and we've yet to see the video.

If this is the case, it suggests one of two things:

1) The enemy is becoming nimbler and able to multi-task. "We'll have our terror and maybe the fools will give us more."

2) They've minimized their goals in the face of our superior capabilities.

By all means, let's hope it's really number 2 while we prepare for number 1.

how many more deaths will it take before the public realizes what were dealing with

Well if it's a loosing battle, then let's play eye for an eye... I ain't scared. Let's start chopp'n off their heads, and let's stop feed'n the prisoners... They keep showing that how they deal with problems. They won't stop beheading Americans if we convices our service men for abusing theirs. They'll just keep wanting more and more... What do we do about that?

I say we rub them down in pig's blood, make them eat nothing but ham, bacon, and pork chops, and then pork rinds for snacks. If they refuse to eat, let them starve. We are "offering" food, so they can either choose to eat and be damned to hell for touching a pig, or starve themselves.
I also agree, time for an eye for an eye. US needs to close off - no more Middle Easterns comming in from ANY country, even through a third country, and all of them that are here should be found and sent back to where they came from , no questions. They like to come here and complain we are there bombing their country, then go back! We are loosing innocent lives who love our country and love freedom to liberate their slautering governments, then let them eat pork and send them packing where they came from. I don't care anymore if they are third or forth generation here.... send them all back!!!!

I believe Paul Johnson was already dead as well. They really don't care if we even meet their demands, they just want to kill, and it further proves my point that if they can't find an American, they'll pick a hostage from North Korea, or whomever that doesn't agree. They are that desperate to kill, because they have known nothing else about life but to kill. These beheading fundamentalists are sick dogs that should be put down.
