Brother of Beheaded IS Captive Kayla Mueller: Obama's Bowe Bergdahl Swap Raised the Price of Terrorists' Ransoms and Spurred IS to Ask For More For My Sister

Of course.

How could it be otherwise? Demand increases price.

Always.

But I guess the Obama Administration doesn't believe that; they're Dismal Science Deniers.

The brother of an American woman who was killed after spending months as a hostage of Islamic State militants says Kayla Mueller's situation worsened after the government traded five Taliban commanders for a captive U.S. soldier.

The militants increased their demands after the May swap for Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, Eric Mueller told NBC's "Today" in an interview that aired Monday.

"That made the whole situation worse because that's when the demands got greater," he said. "They got larger. They realized that they had something."

Hey, just don't question if Obama loves America, buddy.
