What do you think he should do?

I think this is so egregious that we should send in special forces, hunt them down, capture them and turn them over to the government, or kill them dead. With permission of the government of course. And nothing formal. "Advisors," if that makes sense.
 
The USA would not stand for another nation to come in and deal with Waco for us.

Irrelevant. Nigeria is not a liberal western democracy.
 
They were kidnapped by islamists because they were trying to get an education and there's nothing muslims hate more than women getting an education.

ONly some Muslims. You know that there have been Muslim countries with women PResidents right?

Most are likely dead by now the rest, traumatized.

Actually they are valuable as they were likely kidnapped for sale.

Also, there's nothing Obama can do.

Actually there is a ton the US can do.

What is wrong with Nigeria that you think should enable us to do what we want to regardless of their wishes then?

Not "whatever we want". Trying to treat Nigeria the same as every other country is nonsense. Your premise is a false equivalence, making your "point" nonsense. Deal with it.
 
I think everyone has had a chuckle with the latest CT BS.
That was from the breaking news section, with of course a mainstream source.
 
Considering what those kids likely have in store for them...I would fully support Obama ordering a full scale screw the financial cost all out rescue mission.

With...without...whatever. And our general response to the world if they didnt like it should essentially be A-kiss our ass and B-where were YOU?

It is an independent nation recognized by the United Nations. We need to abide by international laws. My premise is valid. You are arrogant and a whiner.

You are using a false equivalence to push BS. Nigeria, and other third world hellholes without sufficient police forces, sometimes require intervention.

He makes a statement of fact. Most ARE likely dead or traumatized. Do you think differently and if so why? ....also he says NOTHING about not trying to help them. Nothing...

He made a series of biased BS statements- calling any of that dribble fact is bogus. :roll:

First he says Muslims don't like educated women- the FACT is only some extremists don't like educated women.

Next he is as clueless as can be on if these girls are alive- they have great value as slaves and brides so just killing them would seem a last resort.

MANY women have been taken captive and subjected to unspeakable horrors only triumph and lead good, valuable lives.

Jaycee Dugard, Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus, and Michelle Knight are just a few who were subjected to terrible acts and were amazingly resilient.

All in all I'd say this guy isn't an expert on ANY of this and is projecting his bias rather than lucid thought.

If there was a civil war, a famine or some other such calamity I would agree with you. As bad as this issue is it is not on that level and that is why I compared it to Waco. It might not be the best comparison but it is at least on par. Deal with it. :roll:

He said that they are dead OR Traumatized. Those that are not dead ARE Traumatized. Not sure what that is hard to accept. I also understood what he said to indicate the idiot terrorists and not "Muslims". We are, after all, talking about terrorists. Lastly, his other comments are irrelevant to this one comment.
 
GOP Sen. Collins couldn't resist a shot at the Obama administration on a live segment with Chris Matthews and Sen. Klobuchar .
 
You've gotta love how some people always respond to the prospect of the US even assisting another country in stopping a horrid kidnapping.

"Why do weeeeee have to do it????? It's theeeeeiiir turn now!!!"

It's like a little kid asked to do a chore :lamo
 
"My stove got fire. Can you call Obama."
 
Where the hell is our Secretary of State?
 
On a plane flying between the more than half a dozen World hot spots.
Or at I$$A's "non-serious" committee by subpeona, before he is subpeonaed to the "serious" Gowdy doody committee.
Donate off Benghazi to the GOP .

And he ended the dead or traumatized with there is nothing Obama can do- that is writing them off- something he was adamant about NOT doing in the Crimea... :doh

Oh he didn't say THESE Muslims, or terrorists- so you are seeing something he didn't type. He has expressed a very low opinion of Muslims in the past, and his grasp of the English language is pretty damn good so I'm sure he can spell terrorists... what part of that is difficult to accept????

Not from the US.

It is none of our business.

There is no need to share in their 419 scams.

Dude, chill. I was going off his ONE STATEMENT. If I am wrong about the statement and him then I am wrong. All good.
