Recently in late August, James Foley was beheaded by the members of ISIS in Syria, due to his retaliation for the U.S airway strikes. Foley had a job as a journalist in the GlobalPost newspaper, and was reported missing in Syria in November of 2012. ISIS released a detailed video of the beheading of Foley onto the internet. The U.S since the death, has proclaimed that troops attempted to save him, along with the other Americans held hostage, but unfortunately were unable to find him. ISIS has claimed that another journalist that is held hostage would be killed if the airstriks continued. President Obama has been referring to ISIS as "cancer". "The U.S of America will continue to do what we must do to protect our people. We will be vigilant, and we will be relentless," says Barack Obama.
