Fox News anchor Heather Childers is fed up with the Islamic State of Syria and Iraq, and she’s frustrated with President Obama’s supposed inaction against the terrorists who have savagely murdered two American journalists.
So, what exactly does Childers think Obama should do to counter the radical militants? “Something,” that’s what.
Over the course of several, caps-lock-heavy tweets on Wednesday — written shortly after video surfaced showing an ISIS terrorist beheading Steven Joel Sotloff — Childers lambasted Obama, repeatedly demanding that the President do “something” without ever specifying what.
#Obama DO SOMETHING!! DO SOMETHING!! YOU ARE THE LEADER OF WHAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE THE STRONGEST COUNTRY IN THIS WORLD! DO SOMETHING! #ISIS

When one Twitter user wondered if Childers was calling for “war over the beheading of a journalist,” Childers scoffed. All she was suggesting, she explained, was that Obama “do something.”
@MikeMiguel no Mike. You live in VA? Yes, I am suggesting Obama does something to stop #ISIS from getting here & beheading you. Good idea?

And when the Daily Beast’s Olivia Nuzzi chimed in to tell the anchor that her aggressive Twitter posturing was probably futile, Childers pressed on with her vague admonitions.
@Olivianuzzi Did you watch either of the videos released by #ISIS of the beheadings? No apologies. Or should I say, NO APOLOGIES.

@Olivianuzzi I wasn’t yelling at any twitter account. But yes, I was yelling DO SOMETHING bc #ISIS has to be stopped. Period.

@Olivianuzzi it’s President Obama’s job to protect the American people. #ISIS has a strategy. We should too.

@Olivianuzzi “We don’t have a strategy yet” when it comes to defeating #ISIS. #obama‘s words. But has been warned about ISIS 4 the past year
— Heather Childers (@HeatherChilders) September 3, 2014
@Olivianuzzi so that means you have no answer? Honestly, #ISIS didn’t pop out of thin air. President was warned over past year of threat.

Perhaps Childers felt too confined by Twitter’s 140-character limit to delve into specifics. Fortunately, she’ll have two full hours on Fox this morning to elaborate.
Says the lady who works for a Saudi prince whose country beheaded 12 people just last month.
Perhaps bombing them over 100 times in Iraq and helping drive them out of several areas counts as nothing in Fox World where the chickenhawks reign.
Do what, stupid?
Good to see that “Heathers” has that journalistic dispassion down pat. Maybe she can bring the Ayatolla Phil Robertson onto her show to suggest some policy options.
“SOMETHING!”
