I find it interesting that everyone (including the First Lady) is now all up in arms about Boko Haram and their jihadist actions. After all, we reported on the kidnappings of the girls quite some time ago – this isn’t breaking news. This Islamic terrorist group has a long rap sheet of atrocities, such as burning alive some 50 boys and attacking Christians over these past three to four years on Christmas and Easter.
Isn’t it interesting that all of a sudden when celebrities get engaged, it becomes a national emergency? Who else needs to issue a hash tag alert? But why now? As Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton refused to declare Boko Haram a terrorist organization.
So why all the attention now?
Remember the movie with Robert Deniro and Dustin Hoffman called “Wag the Dog?” Funny thing, that film was released just before the Clinton-Lewinsky kabuki dance and the infamous pharmaceutical factory bombing in Sudan by President Clinton (and by the way, Monica is back in the limelight thanks to an article in Vanity Fair – but I digress – or maybe not).
Are we witnessing an Obama “Wag the Dog” moment with Boko Haram in Nigeria? I say yes.
It is curious, isn't it? In February these same Moslem thugs attacked a boy's school and murdered scores of male students.
Islamic militants stormed a Nigerian secondary school campus early this morning (Feb. 25), locked a boys’ dormitory and set it on fire, killing those who tried to flee and burning the rest alive.
News accounts report that suspected Boko Haram militants killed at least 43 young men during the pre-dawn attack at the school in Buni Yadi, in the north-eastern state of Yobe. A Christian charity active in Nigeria said its sources expect the death toll to rise to 100 or more.
There was no speech from Michelle saying the boys were like her and Barack's sons. Trayvon yes, but not them. There were no # signs, no celebrities speaking out. And yet here we are today totally focused on this murderous group and the missing girls. As Col West says, Are we witnessing an Obama “Wag the Dog” moment with Boko Haram in Nigeria?
We were asked for ID to get into a national park but it is racist to ask for voter ID?~~Comment on FB
