I wonder how many of these guys could be Obama's son?

What's unemployment paying you these days?

 

You keep trying FlaStalker...maybe one day you will get something right.

Now run along to the Benghazi thread so you can reply to me over and over and over without anything of actual substance to say.

President Obama said he wakes up thinking of the Nigerian schoolgirls abducted by Islamist extremists and facing a life as sex slaves, and wishes he “could reach out and save those kids.”

say what you will but these guys are pretty smart. So you know if they could not even one pretty white girl they would be screwed. Nancy Grace would have a f****** aneurysm. And we didn't list every military asset we have.

They should change their name to "Boku Harem".

 

Just a suggestion.

The just released a photo of many of the kidnapped girls.

 

 

Fairly odd to see teenage girls with receding hairlines.

 

On the bright side, if we sent some chalk over there, the girls could to math problems on each other's foreheads.

The WH sent out one of those hashtag thingies asking them to bring the girls back. Those guys have to he quaking in theif boots like Putin in the Ukraine.

But a senior State Department official said the girls have not been located and that a 1997 law known as the Leahy Amendment is complicating the joint effort with Nigerian forces. The law, named for its sponsor, Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., bars U.S. forces from working with militaries, or units within them, accused of chronic human rights violations. In the past, U.S. military brass have complained the law has prevented them from training foreign soldiers. In Nigeria, it appears to be limiting what forces on the ground can do to help find the children.

What about the drones sent over? What about the manned flights over Nigerian airspace happening? What about the shared satellite info taking place? Not enough? What do people want from the US? More troops on the ground?

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama says the U.S. has deployed 80 military personnel to Chad to help located more than 200 girls kidnapped in Nigeria.

Obama has sent a letter to House Speaker John Boehner and to the Senate notifying lawmakers about the steps underway to assist in the return of the abducted girls.

Obama says the service members will help with intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance aircraft for missions over northern Nigeria. He says the force will stay in Chad until its support is no longer necessary. Chad shares a portion of its western border with northeastern Nigeria.

The girls were kidnapped last month by an Islamic extremist group known as Boko Haram.

Boko Haram was an established network in 2001. If only we would have labeled them terrorists earlier. Such a shame it was missed by one president and then designated a terrorist organization by the next.

The State Department under Hillary Clinton fought hard against placing the al Qaeda-linked militant group Boko Haram on its official list of foreign terrorist organizations for two years. And now, lawmakers and former U.S. officials are saying that the decision may have hampered the American government’s ability to confront the Nigerian group that shocked the world by abducting hundreds of innocent girls.

I guess the Hash Tag campaign didn't work.

Maybe if you and the other hacks had talked about it more on this message board some real change will happen. Isn't that what you are here for?

[crackattack 513]

Isn't that what people wanted? I focking hate that we are sending our men and women of the armed services over there, yet no other focking country is. Sick of our troops constantly being used to fix others problems.

Just clear it didn't matter what was tried...the hacks will complain.

Tries diplomacy...they cry. On the outside all they see is the use of social media (and act as if that is all Obama was trying to do)...and they cry.

Send troops...they will cry about it again.

 

And I agree with you...

KADUNA, Nigeria – Ten generals and five other senior military officers were found guilty in courts-martial of providing arms and information to Boko Haram extremists, a leading Nigerian newspaper reported Tuesday.

 

The news follows months of allegations from politicians and soldiers who have told The Associated Press that some senior officers were helping the Islamic extremists and that some rank-and-file soldiers even fight alongside the insurgents and then return to army camps. They have said that information provided by army officers has helped insurgents in ambushing military convoys and in attacks on army barracks and outposts in their northeastern stronghold.

 

Leadership newspaper quoted one officer saying that four other officers, in addition to the 15, were found guilty of "being disloyal and for working for the members of the sect."

MAIDUGURI, Nigeria – Suspected Boko Haram gunmen have reportedly kidnapped 20 women from a nomadic settlement in northeast Nigeria near the town of Chibok, where the Islamic militants abducted more than 300 schoolgirls and young women on April 15.

 

Alhaji Tar, a member of the vigilante groups set up to resist Boko Haram's attacks, said the men arrived at noon Thursday in the Garkin Fulani settlement and forced the women to enter their vehicles at gunpoint. He says they drove away to an unknown location in the remote stretch of Borno state.

 

Tar said the group also took three young men who tried to stop the kidnapping.

Is it time to classify them as terrorists?
