A U.S. Army brigade will begin sending small teams into as many as 35 African nations early next year, part of an intensifying Pentagon effort to train countries to battle extremists. The teams will be limited to training and equipping efforts, and won't be permitted to conduct military operations without specific, additional approval from the secretary of defense.

Send all the food stamp people to Afghanistan. That would release the Special Forces to do their job.

Can't we just send more diplomats and sing campfire songs?
Bush is a warmonger always trying to start a war and kill people.
Terrorists are people to.

For any Freepers that are in the dark, US military have “recently” been sent on TDY programs to beef up our African “allies”. The jobs look like a variation of “meals on Wheels” but, in my opinion, it is really about having boots on the ground to prepare the field of battle. Guys from work who are in the national guard or reserves have been sent there for 2 years.

Must be some Muslims needing a hand in Africa(?)

I'm trying to figure out obama is going to use this to install the Muzzlem Brotherhood in every country in Africa. You know that has to be his end goal. Maybe he can just proclaim that all non-muzzlems are the terrorists.

SatinDoll, I agree with your analysis in post 16/17.

Obunga is using the military to facilitate the Muslim takeover of these countries, not to stop it.
