AT LEAST CAMERON HAS SOME CLASS – AT 8:16 A.M. ET: The Islamic State thug who executed American journalist James Foley spoke with a distinct British accent, and Britain has reacted. From London's Daily Mail:
David Cameron this morning broke off his holiday to return to Downing Street, following the brutal execution of an American journalist by an Islamic State jihadist thought to be British.
The Prime Minister will hold meetings today over the 'shocking and depraved' execution of photographer James Foley.
The dramatic development came after the Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond said the Islamic State was waging war on Britain and the West and the organisation had to be dealt with 'on that basis'.
He also said the jihadist filmed executing Mr Foley ‘appears to be British’ and revealed the Government believed the video was 'genuine'.
Mr Hammond said the UK would oppose the Islamic State 'with every breath in our body' and could send British troops to Baghdad to train Iraqi forces to fight the 'evil organisation'.
COMMENT: Well, at least the words are good. Compare please with the American president, who went back to his vacation after spending some hours in Washington yesterday. Events in Ferguson do not stop him from partying. Neither does the execution of an American journalist. Nor does the breakdown in the truce between Israel and Gaza.
Who said Barack Obama lacks determination? When it comes to vacationing, nothing stops the man.
