Your comment made me curious about the admin's repsonse to the Christmas day terrorist attack, so I went looking. It was easy to miss....

STATEMENT BY THE PRESS SECRETARY ON NIGERIA

Somehow unsurprising for the complete lack of the cojones to mention the jihadi islamic violence. Mr. O continues his tradition of performing the best Carter/Chamberlain impersonation he can.

Thank God that the White House released a statement condemning the violence. I was afraid that the US would not do anything.

I particularly liked this part: We have been in contact with Nigerian officials about what initially appear to be terrorist acts ...

What "initially appear to be terrorist acts"....??? Give me a break. But of course for the State Dept to say even that much probably made them feel as if their fingernails were being ripped out.
