“”An advance force of U.S. military personnel has arrived in Cameroon, an administration official said on condition of anonymity.””

This is how this administration operates - anonymously!

DO NOTHING FOR THE UNITED STATES!

Obama refused to help Nigeria with intelligence and Boko Haram because he was wanted sodomy the law of the land in Nigeria.

“As WND has reported, despite first lady Michelle Obama’s much-publicized Twitter campaign to #BringBackOurGirls, President Obama withheld weapons and intelligence support from Nigeria in its fight against the Islamists because Jonathan’s administration stood by the nation’s laws criminalizing homosexual acts and strictly forbidding same-sex marriage.”

Hi Mom, our military unit just got a 911 call from White House dispatch and we have to respond red light and siren to some squabble in Africa which has zip zero nothing to do with America. Say hi to Dad!

I’ll write soon hopefully.

Why did he do this? Boko Haram needs to be re-armed, that must be the reason.

He probably sent some Seabees over to build a base for the rest that’s coming.

Yeah, that was my immediate reaction too. How much are we going to be “supplying” to this branch of ISIS?

If our 300 have the same ROE as the Spartans, they will do fine.

You neglected to mention Egypt! ;)

ME destabilization is part of the plan. But not sure who’s driving the plan.

It would be fascinating if it weren’t so damn catastrophic.

And that my be my mistake. I don’t believe we provided arms and funding to Egypt’s anti-government forces.

Putin has made Obama look ridiculous in the Middle East, so Obama is finally doing something so that he can say “See! I am macho, too!”

Post WWI divided between Britain and France, most Cameroons speak French.

So rightly Britain and France should clean up Cameroon.

It’s nothing to do with Germans, they haven’t created the mess.

The Germans lost the War. Add it to their WWI reparations bill.

Oh don’t be utterly absurd. A silly comment.

With that mentality it’s no wonder the world is full of violence and chaos still.
