President Barack Obama says that if a video purportedly showing the immolation of a Jordanian pilot at the hands of Islamic State militants is authentic, it would be more evidence of the group’s “viciousness and barbarity.”
Obama says that if the video is genuine, it would “redouble the vigilance and determination on the part of our global coalition to make sure they are degraded and ultimately defeated.”
He said Tuesday that if the video is authentic, it would indicate that “whatever ideology they are operating out of is bankrupt.”
The video appears to show the death of a 26-year-old Jordanian pilot held by the militants since his F-16 crashed in Syria in December. It was released on militant websites and bore the logo of the Islamic State’s al-Furqan media service.

More from the adherents of the religion of peace and our good president N Obama Esq still doesn’t get it.
Re comment no. 1: What does the “N” stand for in “N Obama Esq”?
“President Barack Obama says that if a video purportedly showing the immolation of a Jordanian pilot at the hands of Islamic State militants”
What does the Kenyan mean by “militants”? Why wont he call them TERRORISTS? Does he think that if he plays nice/loser, they wont come after him? I think he needs to start a new apology tour in the Middle East.
