McCain: Send U.S. Special Forces to Rescue Nigerian Girls
Daily Beast ^ | May 13, 2014 | Josh Rogin

The United States should send in special forces to rescue the hundreds of girls kidnapped by Boko Haram—whether the Nigerian government gives permission or not, according to Sen. John McCain.

“If they knew where they were, I certainly would send in U.S. troops to rescue them, in a New York minute I would, without permission of the host country,” McCain told The Daily Beast Tuesday. “I wouldn’t be waiting for some kind of permission from some guy named Goodluck Jonathan,” he added, referring to the president of Nigeria.

Here we go again. If Special Forces was sent to every spot McCain wants to intervene in there would be no Special Forces to send to Nigeria.

Whatever happens, it should happen without McCain suggesting something should take place, that might actually be taking place.

This guy is an utter fool.

Speculation in these instances is not helpful. It can cause your enemy to take measures that would make it hard to achieve the desired results.

McCain has been around long enough to know better than to shoot his mouth off in a situation like this. That he does it, further reveals his complete mental decay.

Every once in a while, John McCain says something that is right and correct.

Yes, we should send the Special Forces and this should have been the first thing our Cowardly President should have done.

Oh, and spare me the “It’s none of our business” crap.

Once again, if McCain is for it, I have a red flag.

Except you don’t telegraph that to the enemy. You urge it through channels. This guy is a blithering idiot.

I agree with you, but you don’t blab it to the media.

My red flag is that this stopped clock can be right twice per day. The only thing is, I want the enemy to be surprised, not warned in advance.

His Goodluck Jonathan comment sounds racist to me.

Do we have an Aeronca Champ or Piper Cub that'll fly that far? That's about all the aircraft I want to risk to the negative ace.

Right, McStain. But, we couldn’t send in Special Forces to Benghazi, to help rescue Amb Stevens and others, could we?

The united States military is not a hostage rescue service for the world.

Juan McNutz needs to shut up and sit down. This is the same moron who wanted boots on the ground in Kosovo in 1999 and in Libya in 2011.

This is the same idiot who said “ Fight with me” in 2008 and then took a dive to Obama, the one person he would NOT fight, when he should have fought.

All able bodied men in Nigeria need to be beating a path to Boku Haran’s locations and start killing every terrorist they find.

If we can point them out to them, fine, but other than that, our men should not be risked.

Hell, we lead one million plus of our own babies to the slaughter every year in America through abortion on demand, so why are these girls worth the lives of our soldiers.

Nigeria has men. Let them do their job and protect their own women.

As for Juan McLoser, he needs to go home to Arizona and look for the strawberries.

Wouldn’t that be an invasion of a sovereign country and an act of war?

I didn’t think we had a lot of “USA = World’s Policeman” advocates on this site anymore.
