QuoteUS air strikes won't fix Nigeria's security crisis but could make it worse
After reading the article the poor S.O.B.s on the ground where the bombs fell have a few things in common with Venezuelan fishermen.
Nigerian Foreign Minister Yusuf Tuggar says Abuja (capital city) provided the US with intelligence ahead of the Christmas Day strike. However the ISIL people are hundreds of miles away in Borno. And the missile strikes were in Sokoto. 600 miles away.
The tea leaves tell me that powerful men in Nigeria had the US kill a few enemies in an area characterized by social breakdown and banditry, and not ISIS, ISIL, or whatever religious strife that is 600 miles away. In return for doing something financial for the orange pinhead we can be sure.
