So when Obama doesn't do this, does that mean you are that stupid instead for thinking it?

What the hell does that have to do with anything? If you want to start throwing insults based on country of origin then bring it on, you will loose as much as anyone else. And I aint Spanish.

Point is, it is an internal matter in Nigeria and since it is a stable government then no reason to do anything. If anything you all should be far more worried with Somalia and Yemen than Nigeria.

MAIDUGURI, Nigeria (AFP) – Fresh fighting broke out here Tuesday after Nigerian forces shelled a mosque and the home of the leader of an Islamic fundamentalist sect on the third day of fierce clashes that have killed more than 250 people, witnesses said.

Sporadic mortar fire and gunshots rang out as soldiers shelled the mosque and home of Mohammed Yusuf in Maiduguri, sending plumes of smoke rising over the capital of northern Borno State.

"The deafening sounds are from mortar shelling of the house of the leader of the Taliban by the military," a source at the police headquarters told AFP.

"The military is also shelling the mosque run by the group, which hundreds of its followers have been guarding," he said.

The shelling came as Nigerian security forces sought to end an uprising by the self-styled Nigerian "Taliban" which has said it wants to lead an armed insurrection and rid society of "immorality" and "infidelity."
