0bama importing muslim terrorists to ‘assimilate’, and exporting real Americans all over the world to be slaughtered.

The wholesale liquidation of America goes on unabated.

These all serve as a cover for its darker and insatiably violent ambitions.

For despite all their intrigue and political gamesmanship, the Muslim Brotherhood is not strictly a political movement, or a financial cabal. It’s also the mothership of virtually all Islamic terrorist groups operating in the world today, including Al Qaeda, ISIS, Hamas, the Taliban, Boko Haram, and many more. Such groups, all children of the Muslim Brotherhood’s fanatical Islamic ideology, are today ethnically cleansing countries such as Libya, Syria, Iraq, and Nigeria of all traces of Christianity. No less than the President of Egypt, Muslim Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, a devout Muslim, has said as much.

Considering how the Muslim Brotherhood and their terrorist pawns treat fellow Muslims in Egypt, Libya, Syria, and Iraq, butchering them by the bushel including women and children, it should come as no surprise that Egypt and Saudi Arabia have declared the them a “terrorist” organization.

How the H do you know who to shoot in Cameroon? Doesn’t anybody know that, as soon as you shoot people who dress like one kind, they’re smart enough to start dressing like the other? I thought that was why we didn’t get involved in Rwanda: who’s a Tutsi? Who’s a Hutu? Who deserves to be shot? Who deserves a food box?
Africa is impossible intervention for whitey.

Learned nothing in Libya.

Learned nothing in Syria.

Will he learn anything in Cameroon?

Anything this guy can do to grind this nation into the dirt, will be tried over the next 16 months.

If Obama is sending troops in now, the Christians must already be dead.

Seems to me, Obama wants to be the center of attention, and today everyone was talking about the debate or Lamar Odom. Obama is like Kim Il Whatever in North Korea.

The Forlorn Hope. They need several hundred thousand coalition volunteers to practice on exterminating Boko Harum so they are proficient enough to exterminate ISIS and remove Assad.

As commander in chief President Obama can send U.S. military anywhere in the world. It is only a courtesy that he even informs the Congress. There is no Constitution. We have an elected dictator.
