(Original title too long: Obama now an accessary to genocide and war crimes; denies USA Special Forces permission to intercede on massacre in Nigeria)
From a retired Special Forces Officer, now consulting with Rescue Christians.
In another act of brutality committed by Boko Haram The Obama Administration’s brazen disregard for human life and continued tacit support of Islamic extremists, is again highlighted by an incident revealed in an intelligence briefing given at Ft. Huachuca Arizona this morning.
This past Saturday, near the town of Damasak, Nigeria, 264 Christian men, women and children were herded into an open pit and burned alive. Seventy-eight of the victims were children. This atrocity was committed by an ISIS affiliate more commonly known as Boko Haram.
Military briefers told their listening audience (military and government intelligence personnel), that the White House had issued very specific orders that no effort was to be spared in an attempt to limit media and other humanitarian agencies from finding out just how bad the human carnage in the Middle East and Africa was becoming. A huge concern of course, is hide from the world that another genocide is happening which is either an embarrassment to Obama or Obama wishes to see the Christians massacred from so called Muslim territory. As a part of the Executive edict, was specific instructions to all military personnel, restraining them from any action or attempts to interdict these depraved killers.
Note that USAFRICOM (United States Africa Command) had received credible reports from U.S. Army Special Forces personnel operating in the area concerning the impending attack on innocents by Boko Haram. This intelligence was in the hands of AFRICOM nearly 48 hours before the actual attack took place.
If that were not sufficient cause to act; further corroborating intelligence was submitted from several indigenous resources. One of whom is rumored to be embedded with Boko Haram forces operating in the very area where this horror was committed. And yet in spite of fore knowledge well in advance of the atrocity, no action to prevent the murder of these 278 Christians was taken by American forces.
As a former Special Forces operator, several significant factors are plainly evident to me.
The first fact to catch my attention is that the briefing officer was quoted as saying that “CENTCOM gave the order” to the Special Forces personnel operating in the area. The order was given, directing US Special Operations personnel that there was to be “No Contact” with enemy combatants. This order was to be followed to the letter, regardless of what actions enemy combatants might be inflicting on the indigenous population.
If in fact CENTCOM (Central Command) did issue these orders; the question that beggars an answer, “why CENTCOM and not AFRICOM”? From a practical point of view and in light of the command structure established by the United States Military in the region; all of us know that CENTCOM is not the command authority for Africa. Rather, Africa is the responsibility of AFRICOM. So why did CENTCOM become involved?
One might draw the conclusion that CENTCOM is being tasked with a larger area of responsibility and that AFRICOM has been restricted to a lesser role on the African continent. This is not a new command factor. There was a time when CENTCOM was the command authority for several countries on the African Continent. Might we also conclude that in part this shift in command responsibility is in large part due to the poor performance record by AFRICOM in dealing with terrorist forces substantially smaller in size and capability, than those currently established in a great majority of the Middle East.
Regardless, we can conclude with absolute certainty, that in spite of what may be afoot regarding the shift in command authorities in Africa; the Obama Administration is doing all that it can to direct media and humanitarian observers focus away from the increasing reality of an impending genocide on the African continent.
The entire Obama Foreign Policy debacle would be almost laughable were it not so stark and the consequences such a catastrophic reality. Remember that Obama campaigned heavily prior to being elected for President in 2008, on the platform that he would not allow another holocaust to occur. At the time he was referring to the holocaust involving the Armenian people during the early 19th century. But of course when he made that statement, America was inebriated with the liquor of Hope!
Then in 2012, Mr. Obama again showed his true colors. Suddenly in spite of the growing evidence from the Middle East, Obama would no longer acknowledge genocide of any kind or at any time. (Past, present or future) During this time he adamantly refused to ever use the word, “genocide” and repeatedly denied that such a horror could ever again overtake mankind. Of course, shortly thereafter we began seeing graphic images as ISIS began to expand their choke-hold in the Middle East. ISIS began inflicting greater and greater acts of depravity upon the human race; particularly in the Middle East.
This past Saturday we saw clearly the consequences of Obama’s Foreign policy.
A policy that is summarized in 9 words. Embolden our enemies…Abandon our friends…Emasculate our country!
I received this INFO a day or so back from a man I have known since 68. Obama has ticked off SF types. Look what this admin did when Benghazi was under attack. The Commander was relieved at this same command then. Special Ops Speaks is also very upset with Obozo.
Only a few ?
His powers as “Commander and Chief” don’t seem to get any real push back, how can they since “he” is in charge.
A series of seemingly reasonable orders that add up to utter insanity. Who’s going to complain about the one or two? To do so would make you out as a crazy trouble maker. Taken in their totality would make you seem as an insane conspiracy monger.
All his rules of engagement and dictates have profound geopolitical implications to be sure.
No Congress, no votes or public discussion.
I have no doubts that 0bama would love to allow “IS, ISIL or ISIS, Boko whatever and all the rest” a seat at the table of the UN and more.
What did we expect?
Obama and Hillary have BEEN accessories to genocide and war crimes since they had a POW named Momar Gaddafi whacked. “WE came, WE saw, HE DIED cackle cackle” -Sec of State Hillary Clinton
I realize that “Obama” coined the term “A Global Force for Good”, but the troubles of Nigeria are not our responsibility.
We have no treaty or alliance which requires us to do anything in Africa, which, in my opinion, is good.
While our enemies are inside the wire, worrying about what goes on in areas where we have no interests is a bad idea.
I generally agree to that position. The only exception I make to it is when genocide is involved.
BTTT!
