Kidnapped Nigerian Schoolgirls?

Don't forget that it was the NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT's INACTION and apparent indifference, since they were given the information early and did not react in a timely fashion....

It's still not the U.S. government's problem...It's Nigeria's problem. It's about time they stepped up to it.

Perhaps you can tell us what difference Hillary's designating of Boko Haram as a "terrorist group" would have made? Would it have gotten the Nigerian Government off its a$$, since they had advance warning, and it was their problem...and Boko Haram was not threatening the United States?

"With Clinton still at the helm at Foggy Bottom, the State Department designated Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau and several others with ties to the organization as “Specially Designated Global Terrorists.” That designation made the individuals’ “property interests subject to U.S. jurisdiction and prohibits U.S. persons from engaging in transactions with or for the benefit of these individuals.”

"The Nigerian government also wasn’t exactly clamoring for U.S. assistance against Boko Haram back in 2011. At the time, Jama’atu Ahlis Sunna Lidda’awati Wal-Jihad — the actual full name of the group commonly called Boko Haram — was a threat only within Nigeria."

I see... So Boko Haram wasn't designated as a terrorist group, but its LEADERS and top lieutenants were... Golly... Who knew?!?!

Imagine my surprise?!?!?

Sorry Conservatives, President Obama Actually DID Label Boko Haram A Terrorist Organization (VIDEO)
Even more confusing is the fact that, in August of 2012, the leader of Boko Haram appeared in a 38-minute YouTube video bitching about how the United States had just designated him a terrorist. What the what?

Dang... Don't you hate it when there is actually a video that proves one of your lies false?



(We'll pause here so you can go find your next talking-point...)

Yes, and it is ONE of the reason Hillary will NOT be POTUS in 2016......the factors are NOT in
her favor...JMO....some OVERLOOKED details will derail her run.....

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/hillary-cli ... justified/

HERE'S the reason for the leadership of Boko Haram being declared "terrorist", but NOT the
whole of the organization......Hillary's political stance ATTEMPTED to appease everyone,JMO...
you can NOT appease everyone.....the fallout from the decision has been FATAL....JMO

Too bad the Nigerian Government didn't DO something about it. Whether or not Hillary declared the organization, or its leadership, "terrorists" is not something the U.S. needs to do something about. If the Nigerians had gotten off their a**es and dealt with it, it wouldn't be a problem, would it?

LJ....I am in agreement with you....the Nigerian government SHOULD have been proactive and
ATTEMPTED to provide security....it did not, but then, how corrupt is it? poor=corrupt....the
history of this terrorist organization is rooted in anti western rhetoric and it's followers have
NO love for the U.S.

When we FINALLY declared it a "terrorist" designation, in late 2013, it was TOO late, the
damage was dire.

Clinton's handling of Boko Haram questioned

...

In 2009, the small and scattered Boko Haram -- an Islamic extremist group advocating Sharia law -- killed two police officers and a soldier in an attack on a police station in Borno state.

The Nigerian military responded with a brutal and indiscriminate crackdown that killed 700 people, including Boko Haram leader Mohammed Yusuf in what a congressional committee report described as an extrajudicial execution.

Such violence hardened already bitter divisions between the remote and mostly Muslim northern regions of Nigeria and the southern and more Christian southern areas. ...

...

The Nigerian government continued to respond with brutal military repression, while voices in Congress warned that Boko Haram was getting support from al Qaeda affiliates elsewhere in Africa that could make it a threat beyond Nigeria.

In its report, the Homeland Security Committee called for Clinton to "conduct an investigation into whether Boko Haram should be designated a Foreign Terrorist Organization" under federal law.

To his credit, John Kerry did declare Boko Haram a terrorist organization.

After Clinton stepped down and was succeeded by John Kerry, the State Department designated the group as a terrorist organization in November 2013.

So, as usual, there's no contradiction of what I already posted:

Too bad the only thing you've got is the usual Clinton-hater crap from FauxNoise, and the Obama-Derangement-Syndrome....

Got it. Let us know when you find something worthy of mention... This ain't it.

sad situation.

Ain't OUR problem.

Ukraine, Ain't our problem.

If the rest of the world's Countries that have government can't handle their own problems,,, then they don't need to be a country.
Ain't our problem. been going on for ages.
