Bang Those War Drums! Biden's warning to ISIS militants: 'We will follow them to the gates of hell'

Vice President Joe Biden on Wednesday issued a sharp warning to ISIS militants, saying after the United States is done grieving the death of two American journalists, their killers will have to answer for their actions.

"They should know we will follow them to the gates of hell until they are brought to justice," he forcefully told an audience at an event on the New Hampshire-Maine border. "Because hell is where they will reside. Hell is where they will reside."

Biden opened his remarks in memory of Steven Sotloff, the journalist who was beheaded by ISIS militants Tuesday, two weeks after Jim Foley was executed in the same horrific manner on video. Foley was from New Hampshire, while Sotloff lived there for boarding school.

"As a nation, we're united, and when people harm Americans, we don't retreat," he later said. "We don't forget."

to the Gates of Hell...but not into Pakistan.

Remember he ridiculed Obama's claim that he would go after Bin Laden even if he were in Pakistan.

about Bin Laden.

Saddam also said that invading Iraq would open the Gates of Hell.

I think he was right.
