LAGOS, Nigeria — A top Nigerian military official said Monday that the government knows the whereabouts of several hundred kidnapped girls but cannot reveal their location and cannot use force to rescue them, according to the Web site of the Ogun state television service.

Let’s hope the girls are not moved by the barbarians. I would hope an opening was discovered to route these thugs by surprise.

They must have followed the Jihadist that pulled the short Straw and had to go buy the Tampons at 7/11.

Nigeria is a middle income, mixed economy and emerging market, with expanding financial, service, communications, technology and entertainment sectors. It is ranked 26th in the world in terms of GDP (nominal: 30th in 2013 before rebasing, 40th in 2005, 52nd in 2000), and is the largest economy in Africa (based on rebased figures announced in April 2014). It is also on track to become one of the 20 largest economies in the world by 2020.

They can certainly afford to buy an army. I understand the French Foreign Legion can be had for depression era prices.

Shortly after the kidnapping the Nigerian government claimed to have rescued all the girls. That was obviously false and until they girls are back in their parents’s arms I wouldn’t trust anything the Nigerians say.

Or else the Nigerians don't know where the hostages are and are hoping this announcement will get them to move now that US drones are in the area to show where they are.

How much did we pay Boko Haram to get the job done?

I have no trust for Nigeria myself. I can imagine the 276 schoolgirls being herded into semis and trucked en mass down some highway to the hiding place. I know that the space for 30 pallets fits in a typical semi. I don’t know how you can cram more than 70 girls in each semi. So, four semis went en mass down some freeway, to a final destination. Those semis had to start at the school. You think a government can’t find someone who didn’t notice those semis? This is as fishy as the Malaysian Flight 370. It has symptoms of the Islam o-fascist cabal that has its hold on a large share of nations around the world.

What troubles me is the United States government’s silence on the matter. Don’t we have the most sophisticated satellite reconnaissance system ever devised by man at our disposal? It is our ultimate video surveillance system in the sky. If that system cannot pinpoint the flight and destination of Flight 370, what good is it? If, for instance, if North Korea launched a nuclear weapon towards Los Angeles, that satellite system would have detected what kind of rocket, its origin, and its trajectory. It would have had that capability day or night. Now, we have a airline flight disappearing into nowhere. What if the airline flight was carrying a nuke to Los Angeles? Wouldn’t our reconnaissance system be on it? What good is it if it can’t?

In the same way, you would think our satellite reconnaissance system—our video surveillance system—can’t see trucks lined up at a girl’s school and have pictures of where they went? I am wondering about all this and do not have great faith in what we are being told.

Wouldn’t it be horrible to be the parents of one of these poor girls.

Prayers up for their safe return to the families that love and miss them....
