During the third debate of the 2012 presidential campaign, Mitt Romney talked about Mali and the danger al-Qaeda represented there. The Obamamedia laughed and derided Romney, carrying Barack Obama’s water and continued advancing the fraud that Obama had decimated al-Qaeda, even though al-Qaeda affiliated terrorists had taken over an American consulate and killed four Americans in Benghazi, Libya just weeks prior.
Surprise!!!! Al-Qaeda in Mali is a serious enough threat that the French, THE FRENCH!, have invaded Mali to fight them there.
It looks like Romney was indeed correctly focused on foreign threats, al-Qaeda is not decimated but in fact very much alive, and the Obama administration is as blind, or more likely deceptive, about Mali as it was about Benghazi.
Or is Obama giving cover to Islamists in Mali like he does in Egypt and the Palestinian Authority?
…and liberal American Jews still think Obama’s the Messiah. Even though the country that gets screwed the most by Obama, Hillary Clinton and their Islamist-empowering policies is Israel.
Meanwhile in Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu appreciates and supports France’s counter-terrorist operation in Mali. But we can’t blame Obama for not being fully engaged on international terrorism right now. His attention is laser-focused on shredding the 2nd Amendment.

Better the French than us. Our military is stretched to the breaking point now with people going on 3, 4, or more tours of duty in Afghanistan.
I don't get this, all of my life the French have been very aggressive, Vietnam, Algeria, and lots of actions in Africa, and I have known many French soldiers who have fought and were eager to return to fight more, in Africa, they loved fighting in and around Chad in the 1980s.
Do people think that the French are non-interventionist when their interests are at stake, when did that history take place, it wasn't during my lifetime.
Are the Africans burning their huts again? I couldn’t care less what happens there. Not worth a single American life or Dollar.
At lest now more people know where Timbuktu is.
most people don’t know what’s going on here, much less Mali.
#Do You Know What is Happening in Mali?”
Nah the MSM is more concerned with Oprah, Lance and Manti. They just want to feed the illiterate Bam supporters with as little of real news as is possible.
I ail waiting for mail from a male in Mali to tell me the tale!
Is Lance running a race there with the Winfrey Team?
Really?
Q. How many French soldiers does it take to defend Paris?
A. Nobody knows, it’s never been done....
Islam is happening in Mali, and sooner or later, wherever Islam is, very bad things will happen.
It is amazing how trivial some people become, a military action is taking place right now against our enemies, and the same old meaningless jokes appear over and over.
That joke is both amusing and false. Look up French casualties in the Franco-Prussian War (the Paris Commune kept fighting after Imperial France surrendered), World War 1, and World War 2. The French lost more soldiers fighting the Nazis than we did in total in the Second World War.
