First we were told Twitter campaigns are useless, now we are being told our troops are being "tweeted into combat?"

If they want to sell the girls, then let others buy them (with Nigerian money), get them back and be done with it. It will happen again, you say. Well, don't let it happen. Take steps to protect the children. I want those girls found and rescued, but not with all the crap that's going on right now, not with American lives and not with American dollars. Just give in to the terrorists and get them back.

If we don't do something about this group of terrorists - it will come back to haunt us.

Mark my words...we'll be wishing we took this problem on when it starts creeping into OUR territory.

I agree. (SM) - Poster to whom you responded.

Once the girls are rescued, exterminate the vermin, and let's get our borders better protected.

I'm sure Bozo will take care of it. The next thing we hear (sm) - #me

but I'm not sure what we can do. Any "boots on the ground" would not only not be popular, but could start another war. I'm sure they're counting on us doing nothing, but I don't know what the alternative is at this point.
We can't control every other country in the world, - esp. if we cant even control our own.

I feel he's sort of deflecting from the Boko Haram incident. I didn't hear him mention, nor did I read, anything yesterday about what plans, if any, he has to help the girls.

In the first article, he's aggravating Russia.

In the second article, he's telling Al Quaeda and the Taliban when we're going to be out of there and how many troops will be left behind. Those troops will be easy pickings for the jihadists. You know the Afghans will look the other way if those troops are attacked or attack the troops themselves. I'm very uneasy about both articles.


Obama gives go-ahead to arm Syria rebels
By Geoff Dyer in Washington

Barack Obama has authorised his administration to provide arms to Syrian rebel groups, after it concluded that Syrian government forces had used chemical weapons âmultiple timesâ over the past year, US officials said on Thursday.

The White House said Syrian forces had used small quantities of chemical weapons, including sarin gas, and that 100-150 people had died as a result of the attacks, a conclusion that had been reached with âhigh confidenceâ.

The US president has been reluctant for the US to become directly involved in the Syrian civil war. However, he has said repeatedly that the use of chemical weapons was a âred lineâ, and the new intelligence assessment has led him to agree âin principleâ that the US arm moderate elements of the Syrian opposition, officials said.

âThe president has said that the use of chemical weapons would change his calculus, and it has,â said Ben Rhodes, a deputy national security adviser.

The US has already agreed to provide non-lethal aid to rebel groups, including communications equipment and medical supplies. However, Mr Rhodes said it would now provide âdirect military supportâ which would be different in âscope and scaleâ from existing pledges.

The US needed to help the Syrian rebel groups to become more âcohesiveâ and âeffective as a fighting forceâ, he said, although he declined to provide an âinventoryâ of the new support.

AND:
Obama plans to end U.S. troop presence in Afghanistan by 2016

(Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama on Tuesday outlined a plan to withdraw all but 9,800 American troops from Afghanistan by the end of the year and pull out the rest by the end of 2016, ending more than a decade of military engagement triggered by the Sept. 11 attacks on the United States.

The decision means that Obama will leave office in early 2017 having extricated the country from the longest war in U.S. history. He ended Washington's combat presence in Iraq in 2011.

Obama's White House Rose Garden announcement prompted criticism from Republicans that the hard-fought gains made against the Taliban could be lost in much the same way that sectarian violence returned to Iraq after the U.S. withdrawal.

Obama, who made a whirlwind visit to U.S. troops in Afghanistan over the weekend before American combat operations conclude at the end of 2014, appeared to anticipate concerns that he is abandoning Afghanistan. He said it is time for Afghans to secure their country.

"We have to recognize that Afghanistan will not be a perfect place, and it is not America's responsibility to make it one," Obama said.

Under his plan, 9,800 U.S. troops would remain behind into next year. By the end of 2015, that number would be reduced by roughly half.

But it already did - on 9/11. And at the Boston - Marathon, & some unsuccessful tries.

Like the underwear bomber, shoe bomber, and likely many others we don't even know about. It's also been here a long time if you factor in economic terrorism.

If we give in, it will happen again, more often, and worse. nm - Don't negotiate with terrorists

No matter how much you hate him this is a good article.  Cut him down all you want but it won't change the truth.
