Colorado Senator Mark Udall: The Butchered American Journalists Would Tell Us to Not Take Any "Impulsive" Actions Against IS, You Know

Mark Udall says he's "troubled" by Obama's quickness to act on IS (!!!?!!!?!!), and that the two journalists beheaded by IS terrorists would have wanted a "cautious" approach.

"I can tell you," Udall said, "Steve Sotloff and James Foley would tell us, don't be impulsive. Horrible and barbarous as those executions were, don't be impulsive, come up with a plan to knock ISIL back."

Allah makes a point that didn't occur to me: Given that we know that Obama delayed the rescue mission that would have saved both Sotloff and Foley, until they were no longer present at the target site, it is particularly gruesome to claim that these beheaded men would counsel Obama to take even more time to dither.

Udall had also questioned whether IS really constituted an "imminent threat" to America.

Udall's challenger, Cory Gardener, is now barking about this apparent gaffe.

"Americans have watched in horror in recent weeks as two of our fellow countrymen have been brutally executed by terrorists, and it’s outrageous that Senator Udall would put words into the mouths of dead Americans," said Gardner.

"Furthermore, it's deeply troubling that he views a terrorist organization like ISIL as not an imminent threat to America."
