It will take a fairly large armed team to wipe out these terrorists. And there are no guarantees that the bad guys won’t kill the girls when the shooting starts. Tragic!

Despite the charitable intentions, it’s a wildly inappropriate over-reach on the part of our government - a government which no longer honors even the pretence of abiding by constitutionally madated restraints on its authority.

Color me skeptical. Knowing Obama, he will aid the Islamic terrorists in selling these girls.

Holding some 200 odd people takes a fair amount of logistical organization. It makes it pretty hard to believe there isn’t some high level government help involved in the kidnapping.

Dear President Obama:

I am writing to you concerning the recent abduction of young girls in Nigeria, West Africa. We are an URGENT need of immediate assistance. Please provide us with the requested information, including your name, age, social security number, bank account number, etc.

Sincerely,
Prince Ciroma

So I guess there won’t be anything that would require an element of surprise in this operation? Other presidents might wait until they rescued the girls before they even announce that there is such a thing as an American team.

Well, if he’s going to use Navy Seals, it is easier to set them up ahead of time, instead of having them taken out later and too many people asking questions.

this govt wants to devastate the armed forces by reducing numbers.......no way we should be going anyway and helping anyone if our forces are so meaningless and headed to the junk pile....

bam can't have it both ways...he can't reduce forces and yet act like the big pimp in the world...although pimp is a mighty descriptive term...

Why don’t we sit this one out and let the world’s moderate Muslims take care of it?

Yes, if you hold them together at one place. Most likely girls were split in small groups and already sent out to Chad or Mali where there is a market for slaves.

Nigerian government is complicit because they did not act in the first 12 hours.

Not only have they not acted, they've actually arrested protesters complaining about their inaction. Just like the old days, they're selling each other to enrich themselves.

Did you notice how Oprah, Magic and the rest of the NBA millionaires rushed to ransom those poor African young women. Neither did I, those greedy 1%’rs care only about themselves.
I have no doubt they would offered the ransoms but it might emphasize that their ancestors were sold into slavery by other Blacks.
