U.S. vows to pursue jihadis behind Algerian hostage crisis
U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said on Friday militants who attacked the United States and its citizens will hunted down, in the first comments by a senior U.S. official on a hostage attack by Islamist militants in Algeria.
He said the U.S. government was working around the clock to ensure the safe return of its citizens caught up in the Algeria crisis.
A U.S. plane landed on Friday at an airport near a desert gas plant in Algeria where Islamist gunmen took hundreds of hostages to evacuate Americans caught up in the crisis, a local source said.

I bet they’re shaking in fear after seeing what happened to the terrorists that attacked the consulate in Benghazi.

The government needs to get $72 per share for its remaining shares to break even on its $49.5 billion GM bailout

If the pursuit is anything like that for the Benghazi murderers, we should be seeing results sometime before the end of this century.
If we’re patient, that is…

The anti-war crowd will be protesting in front of the White House any day now, and the media with enthusiastically covering them and pretending that the crowd is bigger than it really is.
