  • US preparing team to help Nigeria locate kidnapped girls



    The White House says a U.S. team will head to Nigeria as soon as possible to aid in the search for nearly 300 teenage girls abducted from their school more than three weeks ago.

    Spokesman Jay Carney says Secretary of State John Kerry reiterated the offer during a conversation Tuesday with Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan.

    Carney says "time is of the essence." He urged the Nigerian government to ensure that it is using all available resources to ensure the safe return of the girls.

    Carney says the U.S. team would include military and law enforcement personnel capable of sharing with the Nigerians expertise in intelligence, investigations, hostage negotiating and victim assistance.

    President Obama and Kerry were to discuss the issue at a White House meeting Tuesday afternoon.





    Also in TIME, VOA.



    Good. This is something that we can do. It doesn't take a gigantic footprint. We have lots of people who are good at this sort of thing. We have a clear objective and end-game: get the kidnapped slaves-to-be and get them home, and if we waste a bunch of these freakshow kidnappers along the way, more's the better.

    Do it right and don't screw it up, guys. And buy "guys," I mean the folks in Washington; I'm not worried about the boots on the ground getting it right.
    It's been ten years since that lonely day I left you
    In the morning rain, smoking gun in hand
    Ten lonely years but how my heart, it still remembers
    Pray for me, momma, I'm a gypsy now

    I can't believe the news reader take on this situation. They are "extremist" elements who object to a Western education for girls. No, they are Muslim terrorists who want to impose Sharia law on people who are culturally animists and Christians. They aren't going to "marry" the girls; they are raping them and then they will sell the ones who can still walk and obey to Muslim men who will use them as sexual slaves.

    They are doing this to terrorize the parents who want nothing to do with Islam and who hope for a better life for their children (all their children) through education.

    Why the establishment in this country thinks it's a "tragedy" if some middle-class men can't get the cake they want when stuff like this is sugar-coated to avoid offense is beyond me.

        The problem is that the reporting on this makes it appear as though some neighbors had a tiff over school choice issues and even if the girls will get no choice, they'll still be semi-married breeders, so what's the problem?

        That's the problem.
