Vile boast of Jihadi John...I've made my fortune: Bragging British executioners are sadists

British jihadis involved in the brutal beheading of American reporter James Foley callously boasted of making personal fortunes from ransoms paid for other released hostages.

The gang openly talked of making so much money they could ‘retire to Kuwait or Qatar’, according to testimonies by former hostages obtained by The Mail on Sunday.

The four Islamic State militants – nicknamed The Beatles by their Western captives – were reported to be ‘interested in money’ from the start of the kidnap ordeal, even bragging to prisoners about how much they were making.

A security source revealed last night that £24 million was paid by at least four European countries for the release of 11 hostages last year.

We are being sold a war to punish a crime. The last one cost a little over a trillion dollars (which we put on the cuff), cost hundreds of thousands of lives, and gave rise to ISIL, this year's "worse than Hitler" gang. What will we buy for this bill of goods?
