CNN) -- A video released by ISIS shows the beheading of U.S. journalist James Foley and threatens the life of another American if President Barack Obama doesnt end military operations in Iraq. In the video posted Tuesday on YouTube, Foley is seen kneeling next to a man dressed in black. Foley reads a message, presumably scripted by his captors, that his real killer is America. I wish I had more time. I wish I could have the hope for freedom to see my family once again, he can be heard saying in the video. Watch this video The worlds most ruthless terrorists Watch this video American journalist beheaded by ISIS I did not copy the link because I did not want to attach the video even if CNN says they dont show it. We dont need to see the gruesome acts of people being inhumane. The more we see I think the more people get desensitized to the value of human life. My heart goes out to his family!!! Our President is going to have a news conference on this today. Im eager to hear what he says. I dont know about you but I want our security beefed up in the U.S. Along our borders, at customs and every where, I hate to say this but it is a matter of time before something horrific happens and we need to be on our toes! W.H. reacts to journalists beheading He is then shown being beheaded. We have seen a video that purports to be the murder of U.S. citizen James Foley by (ISIS), National Security Council spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden said. The intelligence community is working as quickly as possible to determine its authenticity. If genuine, we are appalled by the brutal murder of an innocent American journalist and we express our deepest condolences to his family and friends. We will provide more information when it is available. Obama was briefed about the video, and he will continue to receive regular updates, White House spokesman Eric Schultz said. ISIS has carried out executions, including beheadings, as part of its effort to establish an Islamic caliphate that stretches from Syria into Iraq. In many cases, ISIS -- which refers to itself as the Islamic State -- has videotaped the executions and posted them online. CNN is not airing the video.
