Nigerian Girls: And ... Here Come the US Marines

The United States has deployed 80 troops to Chad to augment efforts to find the Nigerian schoolgirls recently taken hostage, the White House announced Wednesday, a significant escalation of Washington’s contribution to a crisis that has created global consternation.

The force, made up largely of Air Force personnel, will conduct surveillance flights and operate drone aircraft but will not participate in ground searches, according to U.S. military officials.

President Obama says the military personnel will assist in the effort to find those abducted from neighboring Nigeria.

“These personnel will support the operation of intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance aircraft for missions over northern Nigeria and the surrounding area,” the White House said in a statement formally notifying Congress of the deployment.

Comment by Nikki on May 31, 2014 at 5:25pm: Very will scripted.

Comment by Ron Anderson on May 31, 2014 at 4:41pm: Oil rich Nigeria has been getting very "uppitty" and very cozy, with China and Russia lately. Convenient for the Globalist Zionistas that the new Muslim extremist Bogeyman of the Month should suddenly emerge from out of nowhere to kidnap a bunch of 'Christian' girls, just as an International Economic Conference is about to kick off in Nigeria. The spectacle of red-shirted mobs of "spontaneous" protesters in the streets of the capital there, with professionally made banners, theme colored T-Shirts, Twitter #as#-tags, FakeBook pages and catchy slogans(written in perfectly legible English spelling and grammar) have popped up to support what smells like another CIA scripted event. Just so happens, by coincidence as executives from across the world arrived in private jets to attend the Africa meeting of the World Economic Forum, the continent’s version of Davos. Very convenient.

Comment by guest_blog on May 28, 2014 at 7:03pm: maybe this William Nigeria has over 400 mineral resources

The Minister of Mines and Steel Development, Alhaji Musa Sada, on Tuesday said Nigeria was blessed with over 400 mineral resources.
Sada spoke at the opening of the 17th made in Nigeria Trade Fair in Katsina, organised by the Katsina State Chamber of Commerce, Industries, Mines and Agriculture.

He said most of the mineral resources were discovered in commercial quantities and of good grade that if harnessed could provide revenue to the government.

He identified some of the minerals to include iron ore, cassiterite, precious stones, metal, kaolin, chromite, talc, asbestos and silica.

Comment by Nikki on May 22, 2014 at 11:31pm: Nigeria must have something the US wants..oh what could it be?

Comment by P.J.Kelley on May 22, 2014 at 7:42pm: It seems to me if I do have partial ownership of these girls, if I understand Mike Obama's sign correctly, I should have received some fractional amount of money from the proceeds of the sale.

Comment by Tara on May 22, 2014 at 6:05pm: This is all really just another pathetic attempt to divert our attention away from what's really going on. Forget about what's going on with the economy, The Un-affordable Healthcare Act, Ukraine, drone striking innocents, the NSA, net neutrality, the erosion of the Bill of Rights and the list goes on and on and on...

And all the while, the mockingbird's of the MSM are chirping to the tune of distraction.

Comment by Steve on May 22, 2014 at 2:05pm: I was reading the #1 terrorist threat is anyone purchasing guns and ammo, looking at TSA's projected purchasing along with USDA and homeland security , I'd say the writing is on the wall?

Comment by Sam Sharpe on May 22, 2014 at 1:48pm: Yeah, I guess so. Just like Indiana has various kinds of foreign troops on the ground here like from Israel and some others. On urban exercises it looked like about five different ones here. It sure looked like more than disaster training. Not when they go from that to door to door urban warfare and tactics.

Gee Mrs. Obummer what about us and our American girls?! You American hating ugly hag.

Agenda 21 is very alive and doing well here from state politics to local. Soon I expect to see blue helmets running around from the UN with local police and our new Drone state controllers going grid to grid to ensure us Americans assimilate, turn over our hunting arms to the globalist agenda or else. Or motivate all those illegal's gangs and military groups that have been allowed to flourish inside our borders now for years. And claim to out-number our police and guard.
