    It's how many were kidnapped at once. Five or ten here and there and nobody pays attention.

But let’s assume that maybe that didn’t work or something: I think there should be some punishment, but the punishment ought to be of the rapist, and not attacking the child.”
      I can't imagine why they have an issue with women. Can't even fathom it.

          Why do you think old Tories like McCain want to send troops to Nigeria?! Show how much they care about women.

          That's why they want to send troops, right?

            When you quote Alex Jones as a source, is that stupidity of a mathematical or geometric progression?

                After Tommy Vietor was eviscerated by Brett Baier, I wondered aloud if there was anyone in the administration who had not recently finished high school. Apparently, I'm not alone in my thinking.

                Are these people really the best and the brightest?

                We have seen the fruit of this leadership. And so has the rest of the world. Ignore the manifold policy failures that have been covered so well by others -- or at least the non-besotted media. Just focus on the imagery.

                Was there any diplomatic step taken by any leader, anywhere as juvenile as the red reset button? The button itself was stolen from a hotel pool or Jacuzzi – I wonder which hapless janitor got blamed for that heist. That might be worthy of a giggly college prank (I hope the statute of limitations is past for my own hijinks) but is it statesmanship, does it show maturity? To add insult to injury, America was mocked for not even getting the translation right. Smart power, indeed.

                There are two Poster People that display the juvenile nature of the Obama presidency: Pajama Boy and animated Julia. Really, is this the best an American President can do? Uncle Sam would be shedding a tear for what America has spiraled down to.

                          No, I'm pretty sure most people would still be against invading Nigeria. They do have oil, so the Tories would probably already have boots on the ground.

                            Maybe. Generally libs favor military action in which the United States has zero strategic interest, like Somalia. The trouble is, all you would be military experts, who claim to be so nuanced in other matters, lose your perspective when it comes to the application of military force. The phrase "boots on the ground" or the word "invasion" is one you utilize with little *******s sitting around the campfire, designed to scare them. But not really applicable here. It may be a very limited special ops mission might be appropriate if we had excellent intelligence. An analogue might be the raid on Entebbe. Risky? Certainly. But potentially worth it.

                                Arizona has always appealed to me. The 4th was one of the more gerrymandered districts, but the whole state kills me. The state has 9 districts (I think). One district is a little pocket in the southeast corner bordering NM and Mexico. All of the other 8 districts include some portion of the Phoenix area. The 1st (where I lived for a couple of years) is my personal favorite, even though it's shape looks less ridiculous than the 4th.
