american Luke Somers has been killed by al-Qaida Muslim terrorists in Yemen after a failed Obama rescue mission attempt. I guess Luke Somers isn’t worth as much to Obama as a deserter like Bowe Bergdahl was. Remember when al-Qaida was dead and GM was alive in 2012 or something? I guess they’ve been resurrected.

Somers, who was born in Britain but has American citizenship, was working as a translator for the National Dialogue Conference when he was kidnapped last September. He wasn’t seen publicly until the hostage video was released by AQAP.
“I’m looking for any help that can get me out of this situation,” Somers said in the video. “I’m certain that my life is in danger. So as I sit here now, I ask if anything can be done, please let it be done. Thank you very much.”
In their own video the next day, Somers’ mother and brother pleaded for his release, asking his captors to show “mercy.”
