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.
More likely they'll call the Israelis. Sad, isn't it?
