James Foley’s brother Michael Foley gave an interview to Yahoo and Katie Couric (I didn’t realize that washed up old hag was still around). In the interview, Michael Foley said the US could have done more to rescue his brother who was beheaded by Obama’s JV team ISIS-ISIL.

| James Foley’s brother Michael: US (Obama) could have done more |

Sorry Michael Foley. But Obama just doesn’t care about your brother. In case you haven’t noticed, Obama went golfing eight minutes after announcing your brother’s beheading and Lazy Lurch Kerry has been on his boat for the entire month of August. America weeps for your brother and your family. The government just doesn’t care.
“There’s more that could have been done directly on Jim’s behalf,” Michael Foley, 38, told Yahoo Global News Anchor Katie Couric in an exclusive interview near his parents’ home in Dover, New Hampshire. “I really, really hope that Jim’s death pushes us to take another look at our approach to terrorist and hostage negotiation.”
Foley, a 40-year-old journalist who was covering the Syrian conflict for GlobalPost, was kidnapped nearly two years ago near the Syria-Turkey border. ISIL, also called ISIS, released a grisly video of his beheading Tuesday, claiming it killed him in retaliation for U.S. airstrikes in the region.
But another issue was money. The group had also captured French and Spanish journalists, but freed them after their governments paid ransoms through intermediaries. The U.S. government refused to negotiate or pay the group on behalf of Foley and other American captives. ISIL emailed Michael Foley and demanded 100 million euros—a sum he called “ridiculous”—for his brother’s release.
“I just feel strongly that more can be done moving forward,” Michael Foley said.
