Aren’t folks tired yet spending our treasure and the lives of our service members for a bunch of ungrateful foreigners who are to incompetent to defend themselves?

This. Boko Haram is Africa's problem. Let them deal with it. Yes, they're savages but savagery is no stranger to Africa.

When they become a threat to the United States, then we can consider boots on the ground.

Savagery is no stranger to the Middle East, either.

If they have publicly aligned themselves with ISIS, is Boko Haram also a threat to the U.S.?

If some conservative pundits are willing to bring up liberating the people of Iraq as justification for toppling Saddam, why don’t they use the same rhetoric concerning Boko Haram?

When they show some determination to fix the problem and some competence to do so, we should considering sending them weapons and hiring them some contractors to train them.

But that is about it.
