More proof that America's you-know-what's have been found in Israel

In an earlier post, I reported that Israel had found the United States' missing you-know-what's and the proof was that Israel refused to let a Russian ship dock in Haifa port. But now there's more proof. In another earlier post, I reported that Israel has troops on the ground in Nigeria and is helping to search for 276 girls who were kidnapped by the Boko Haram terror group. Compare that to the American contribution to the search (Hat Tip: Memeorandum).

The U.S. is now using unmanned drones in the search for hundreds of Nigerian schoolgirls kidnapped by the Islamist group Boko Haram, the White House said Wednesday.

The deployment of drones comes in addition to manned surveillance flights and satellite imagery being offered to the Nigerian government in the search for the girls. The U.S. has also sent an interdisciplinary crisis team with officials from the Pentagon, State Department and FBI to consult with Nigerian authorities.

White House press secretary Jay Carney, though, said the drones being used in the search were not armed, and stressed that American military resources and personnel were in Nigeria in an advisory capacity.

And when and if they find the girls, what will they do? Send in the Marines to get them? Most definitely not.

“At this point," he said, the administration was "not actively considering the deployment of U.S. forces,” despite calls from some Republicans to use special forces to rescue the missing girls.
