The parents of Kayla Mueller, a young American aid worker killed by the Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL) in 2015, excoriated the Obama administration during the Republican National Convention (RNC) on Thursday for doing nothing to ease their daughter’s plight.
Mueller was held captive, tortured, and “raped repeatedly” by the vicious group’s late leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. Former “President Obama refused to meet with us until ISIS had already beheaded other Americans,” Carl Mueller proclaimed at the RNC. “To this day, we’ve never heard from [then-Vice President] Joe Biden"

Carl and Marsha Mueller stressed that President Barack Obama and his administration could have been heroes and rescued their daughter, but chose not to.
The Obama administration hid behind policy so much that we felt hopeless when they kept us from negotiating to save Kayla’s life. … The military prepared a rescue mission, but the [Obama] White House delayed it. By the time it went forward, Kayla had been moved to a different location.
U.S. President Donald Trump named the operation that led to the October 2019 demise of the “whimpering and crying and screaming,” as Trump described him, “caliph” Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi in honor of Kayla. ISIS kidnapped Kayla while she was working as a humanitarian in northern Syria in 2013. In 2015, U.S. officials confirmed the death of then-26-year-old Kayla.
“The Trump team gave us empathy we never received from the Obama administration,” her parents said at the RNC, adding, “If Donald Trump had been President when Kayla was captured, she would be here today.”

The Muellers had previously said the Obama administration threatened them with criminal prosecution for potentially violating a U.S. policy against negotiating with terrorists when they attempted to pay ISIS a ransom for their daughter’s release.

I was struck by how “old” her parents look. I have no idea when the family photo in the link was taken - but mom had brown hair, dad was only a bit gray and looked to have been a healthy weight.
I can’t imagine losing a child. Much less in such a horrific act as she endured.
How many “Czars” and Government “new-hires” were added to the Swamp’s total numbers?
Oh, so it would be ok to not rescue YOU or one of your family members after getting kidnapped by some jihadis, and are being raped and tortured on a daily basis then?
What kills me is how many in the Deep State went along with all that.
Just stay out of the lion’s den.
Oh.. so if someone shot your A$$ for posting your idiotic comment here on FR then I suppose you would have deserved it?
Something tells me that you don't have the brains God gave a goose.
