US Promises to Help Nigeria Exterminate Boko Haram
This Day (Nigeria) ^ | 12/28/17 | Paul Obi

Posted on 12/31/2017 6:54:56 PM PST by marshmallow

Nigeria’s fire power against insurgent Boko Haram was enhanced wednesday as the United States (US) government gave its final approval to purchase the A29 Super Tucano Aircraft, promising to assist in defeating the terrorists.

US Ambassador to Nigeria, Mr. Stuart Symington, while presenting the Letters of Offer and Acceptance (LOA) to the Chief of Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, explained that the approval underscored the new commitment and cooperation between the US and Nigeria.

Symington stressed that the LOA would go a long way in assisting Nigeria to acquire the A29 Super Tucano Aircraft for the operational use of the Nigerian Air Force (NAF).

Noting that the peace of Nigeria was strategic to the security of the entire West African Sub-Region and the entire world, Symington expressed the commitment of the US government to help Nigeria completely defeat the Boko Haram terrorists and also eliminate all forms of terrorism from its territory.

He also conveyed the US government’s belief that the capacity of the NAF could greatly be enhanced by the acquisition of the Super Tucano Aircraft.

Too bad they can’t just kill them all like Heli-Hog copters taking down dozens of feral hogs.

Well, the Boko-Haram have machineguns and RPGs, and shoot back, so it is a bit different.

Mr. Stuart Symington

I don't know the guy, but being a Symington is like being a Bush or a Kennedy and I am not sure we give any of these hereditary swamp denizens the benefit of the doubt anymore. It is a bit like the quip P.G. Wodehouse made about being born the mere eldest son of a duke and through hard application growing up to be the duke himself..

A pretty good reason to neutralize them isn't it?

And because the Chinese are there. We don’t need their oil. We don’t need their uranium.

And they don’t want us there.

When are we going to learn?

And under Trump I believe they will be destroyed. Trump won’t play patty cake with terrorists like Obama.

The US oil interests lie mainly within the continental limits of our 50 states. The days that we go begging for oil in the Middle East are, thanks be to God, over.

Let’s be less generous with the lives of our military and let other nations take care of their national security. Too much American blood has been spilled since WWII in the defense of nations who do not appreciate our sacrifice. May the American teat dry up soon.

If we don't need their oil and uranium then why do we buy it?

And they don’t want us there.

Who said anything about us being there? The article is about selling them an airplane. I hear that Xanax is good for panic attacks.
