Real Western leaders would work with the Nigerian government to take back the girls. Obama sends in the actors with their signs, while little girls are brutalized, raped, and worst of all, forced to convert to satanic Islam.
Mark Steyn has been one of the few conservative writers truly worth reading of late. Maybe it’s because of his initial history of being an “outsider” looking at America from afar, coupled with being so steeped and well-versed in America’s past cultural history, but he really seems to be extremely perceptive in recognizing and sounding the alarm-bells over the astonishing decline and degredation America is going through.
The calls to rescue the girls all seem to assume they’re conveniently being held somewhere together, guarded by a few “militants.”
In actual fact, they are probably dispersed across a good chunk of Nigeria and neighboring countries by now. The girl hostages aren’t labeled, so you won’t know who they are, even if you could find them, which you can’t.
If we could send Delta Force in, kill a few dozen terrorists and rescue the girls, I’m good. If we knew where they all were, which we don’t, a rescue would have to involve simultaneously launched raids, possibly dozens of them.
Hostage rescue training scenarios generally end with one or more hostages dead. In the profession, a common saying is, “It sucks to be a hostage.”
A spectacular exception was the Peruvian commando rescue ot hostages at the Japanese Embassy. They killed all the terrorists and only one hostage died, and he had a severe pre-existing heart condition.
>>Ping. Unfortunately, I still do not know what that means. In trouble again.<<
What “ping” means?
>>A spectacular exception was the Peruvian commando rescue ot hostages at the Japanese Embassy
Seems to me there was a huge stink about that later - commandos being charged with murder and that kind of thing by a new left wing government.
True. But that caused such a huge counter-stink they backed down.
Wow, I didn’t realize that Nigerians were part of the British commonwealth.
The thought behind these stupid hash tags is the same as the idea broadcast on my local TV’s “save the children” campaign. They show a picture of a supposedly missing child and ask if you have seen him or her to call a number and report it.
The last child I saw pictured went missing in 2006. So now what are we supposed to do with that information?
These girls are gone. Some will drift back, but most will be swallowed up and lost in the mess that is lawless Africa.
Was told once by the honorable Null and Void, then forgot. Just having fun. I guess that will soon be illegal too.

Fun will NEVER be illegal at FR!!
Besides, if we eliminated Fun, you would be just “gi.”

Here:
The average IQ in Nigeria is 84. Pretty dumb lot. It's worse in the surrounding countries.
The average IQ in Niger, to the north, is 69.
The average IQ in Chad, to the east, is 68.
The average IQ in Cameroon, to the southeast, is 64.
The smartest country that borders Nigeria is Benin, where the average IQ is 70.
Good one, had to read it twice before I got it. Fungi does not mean what you think it does.

It isn’t Japanese for “Fun Guy?”
No. Guess again.

Oh, Gus, the Gardener’s gone now
And you went with him too.
The fungus here reminds me of
The fun Gus is having with you.
