Fixing the hostage-taking situation is easy. The President will make a statement to the media that if ISIS (ISIL or DAESH) or any terrorist organization captures someone, the terrorist will be hunted down like a dog no matter how long it takes or where they might go until they are captured by us.

Then they will be sent on an all-expense paid vacation to...western Australia. Once there they will be treated to a free excursion (we are nice), i.e., a boat ride to a position one-two miles offshore.

Then we will chum for sharks. Once the sharks arrive, we will strip the terrorist down to his skivvies and cut him gently with a knife. Then it’s overboard he goes. Shark food! Case closed.

Next we need two constitutional amendments: one to change “people should not be subject to cruel and unusual punishment” where we add three words...except convicted terrorists. Next we need to amend our freedom of speech clause to state, “cannot incite to teach those to join a terrorist organization or anything about terrorism.”

Next we should have a bill that states an automatic death penalty if someone is convicted of terrorism. End of problem.
