wangta wrote:Sorry but the two Japanese hostages were and are idiots for thinking somehow their Japanese 'exceptionalism' would keep them safe from anybody over the Turkish border. That doesn't mean it's not terrible what is happening to them and what will most likely happen to them but as usual in life, stupid is as stupid does.
The actual journalist/traveller as opposed to off with the fairies 'Haruna' should have known better. Instead he knew it all because he had been lucky enough to be unharmed when he went traversing Syria and other places before. Why anybody would have normalcy bias when it is a warzone is beyond me, especially as the Japanese journalist comes from a normal, peaceful country. He thought he was going to save the day by rescuing his 'friend'.
The only Japanese person who might have got away with going there is a bloke who is a Muslim convert and has real connections in Turkey, Syria etc.I think his passport has been taken away so he can't travel. And no, tearful mothers aint worth shit to killers.
Her doing that just like all the other mothers and fathers of non Muslims was simply being part of the theatre that ISIL/ISIS whatever love because it gives them more perceived power and makes them feel more important. Why would they give a fuck about a few dead non Muslims? They don't and herein lies the lesson for those two Japanese and anybody else who does the same dumb and dumber act.
Japan's government considered whether it had the legal basis for a military strike on Isil and concluded it did not, according to a document reviewed by Reuters.
The capture of two Japanese citizens in Syria represents an "unacceptable act of terror," the document says. But it concluded the situation did not meet the legal conditions for the dispatch of Japanese forces.
Japan's pacifist constitution bans its troops fighting overseas, among other restrictions on the military.
However, Abe is trying to ease curbs on exercising the right of collective self-defence, or militarily aiding an ally under attack, in a reinterpretation of the constitution that must now be passed into law.
The document ... avoided a direct answer on whether Japan's Self-Defense Forces had the military capacity to respond to a hostage crisis like the current one.
The top government spokesman said the government was not considering whether collective self-defence would apply to the fight against Isil.

Yeah, but there's been plenty of speculation in London and elsewhere about sending special forces on a raid to capture/kill the dickhead. If there was a chance the hostages could be rescued that could be done using whatever military force was needed.
In the meantime a number of countries are happily sending fighter jets to bomb ISIS forces and supplying and training the Kurds. And I don't disagree with doing it either.
So, given that Japanese hostages are facing televised beheading, I agree it is valid for Japan to consider whether that constitutes sufficient aggression to justify a military response, as allowed by a pretty unique and limiting constitution. It's not, and they said so, but it was right to think about it.
Russell wrote:I totally agree with supporting the Kurds' fight with areal bombardments, but Japanese boots on the ground is just too risky. Add to that Japan's inexperience with this type of actions, and it is wise to avoid sending special forces..
Once again... Bad luck the hostage are not innocent puppies... Such a missed opportunity for giving traction to the constitutional reform... Where is the false flag D00tch when you need him...

Sorry SJ, I thought everyone had already seen it, I haven't been able to pass a television anywhere without it being shown on endless loop.
At least some Japanese can think of it for what it is...
President Barack Obama is condemning what he calls “the brutal murder” of a Japanese hostage by the Islamic State group.
Obama’s statement doesn’t say how the United States knows that Haruna Yukawa is dead, and the Japanese government is trying to verify an online video that purports to show his death.
That online posting was quickly deleted Saturday, and militants on a website affiliated with the terrorist group questioned its authenticity.
Tokyo had no immediate comment on Obama’s statement.
Obama says in his statement that the United States will stand “shoulder to shoulder” with Japan. He’s also calling for the immediate release of a second Japanese hostage held by the militants.
The statement was issued in Germany while Obama stopped briefly on his way to India.

Even by the barbaric standards of the Islamic State, the video distributed today by the jihadists plumbs new depths of depravity. It shows a Japanese captive, 47-year-old journalist Kenji Goto Jogo, holding up a picture of his fellow hostage and friend Haruna Yukawa, who has been decapitated.
The nearly three-minute-long video was released after a 72-hour ransom deadline for the two Japanese hostages expired. In it Goto is heard speaking in halting English. He blames Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe for Yukawa’s beheading and pleads for his own life. He says the Islamic militants no longer want money for his release—they had been asking $200 million for him and his friend. They will spare him now, he said, in exchange for an al Qaeda female suicide bomber, Sajida al Rishawi, captured in Jordan in 2005.
“I am Kenji Goto Jogo,” he says. “You have seen the photo of my cellmate Haruna slaughtered in the land of the Islamic Caliphate. You were warned. You were given a deadline and so my captors acted upon their words. [Prime Minister Shinzo] Abe, you killed Haruna. You did not take the threats of my captors seriously and you did not act within the 72 hours.”
According to the Japanese government and other sources, the video was uploaded on a jihadist web site and to YouTube sometime after 11 p.m. Japan time.
There are some oddities about Saturday’s video. It has no ISIS logo and no footage of the execution. While Goto purportedly pleads for the Japanese government to get al Rishawi reased in exchange for his freedom, he speaks no Japanese at all in the audio. Moreover, the voice of the man who is presented as Goto seems different from previous news videos featuring the journalist. The delivery is strange and halting.
In a previous video released on Tuesday, the self-styled Islamic State, formerly known as ISIS or ISIL, threatened to kill both men within 72 hours. The deadline expired Friday...

It seems to come from the same place as Haruna Yakwa.
Probably the name he took on when he had a bagel shaped injection of saline in his forehead, if you get my meaning.
