The survivor, who has not been named, told ABC: 'Something was off'.

Could it be ET williams was on to something after all?

There it is folks something was off

[txhurl]

And here’s more story.

[Obadiah]

Uh oh. Anecdotal evidence starting to percolate up now...

[txhurl]

And Wilson screaming Benghazi! out of the gate... was that yet more RAT projection?

[Morgana]

Yea and notice who reports it too? NOT the American media, oh no they can’t be bothered with anything as mundane as the news. Oh no it’s got to be the British Media.

This will soon be filed in the same memory hole as the Vegas attack.

You are a damn SF-ODA. You are 12 aggressive, A-type, experienced and well trained warriors.

You tell the village idiot to “f*ck off” and then move out.

[Morgana]

We have military and ex military people here. So will you tell me why we even bother to send troops to Niger? Drop bombs on ISIS there. Not like we could “bomb it back to the stone age” they are still there. It won’t matter.

But after the meeting, officials say village elders attempted to stall the troops from leaving.

I would say, these village elders, and anyone connected with them, are now grade A-1 targets.

[nikos1121]

Anyone know the outcome of the enemy? how many were killed?

[2banana]

You send SF troops there to train the locals to better hunt down and kill ISIS.

It is war with “a small footprint.”

[The_Media_never_lie]

Sounds like mission to win hearts and minds, and treachery or complicity by the village elders. This is what was tried in Afghanistan during Bush/Obama years, and costs us lots of our finest soldiers.

We should get away from this type of thinking, and just hammer ISIS wherever we find them, and get out. Repeat as necessary. No patrolling by our finest troops, where they can be picked off by IEDs and ambushes, just engage, smash, destroy and withdraw. Repeat ad infinitum.

[The_Media_never_lie]

The hell with hearts and minds.

[oh8eleven]

So will you tell me why we even bother to send troops to Niger?
Ever hear of Eisenhower's warning to beware the military/industrial complex? This is a prime example.
Troops are in Africa for the same reason we sent them to Vietnam - to stop "undesireables" (i.e. communists) - only this time it's ISIS terrorists.
It's all BS.

[blueunicorn6]

Well.....goddamn it.

Sometimes, all you can do is swear.

[Maskot]

Yeah that’s not ever gonna work. Killing the mf islamists does work.

[Delta 21]

Return to the village and kill everything that lives.

Bests friends, or worst enemies, your choice.

[ClearCase_guy]

And Wilson screaming Benghazi! out of the gate

Yeah. It's an extremely odd defensive strategy for Democrats to say, "Benghazi! Benghazi! Remember Benghazi? Let's talk about Benghazi!"

Really? That's your Safe Place you want to retreat to?

[Mariner]

Who here thinks US troops should be hunting ISIS in Niger?

My opinion is an emphatic NO!

I cannot givva sh!t what happens there. I don’t care if ISIS cuts every head in the country.

I just don’t care.

[Lazamataz]

The village elder who stalled them must be found, and his body flayed and returned to the village.
