U.S. Troops Arrive In Niger To Set Up Drone Base


www.washingtonpost.com

President Obama announced Friday that about 100 U.S. troops have been deployed to the West African country of Niger, where defense officials said they are setting up a drone base to spy on al-Qaeda fighters in the Sahara.

So even as Obama has touted 32 times since Benghazi how al-Qaeda is defeated,
he now has deployed over 100 troops and is setting up a drone base in Niger?
And U.S. officials have said for months that they would not put U.S. military “boots on the ground”
in Mali! Granted, Obama did not reveal the drone base or use of Predator drones in his letter
to congress.

Another "stabilizing" destabilization!
And another drone base with Predators to hunt al-Qaeda?

Snippets with the facts :


Obama did not explicitly reveal the drone base in his letter to Congress, but he said the U.S. troops in Niger would “provide support for intelligence collection” and share intelligence with French forces in Mali.

A U.S. defense official, speaking on condition of anonymity to provide further details about military operations, said the 40 troops who arrived in Niger Wednesday were almost all Air Force personnel and that their mission is to support drone flights.

The official said drone operations were “imminent,” but declined to say whether unmanned
Predator aircraft had already arrived in Niger...

This is what is known as a tripwire op.
These people take a hit and that justifies more troops to show up to protect them.
There is NO WAY they need to set up a drone point that far forward.

That's kind of dark.. Do you think said troops know this fact?

Seems very Benghazi ish..

What's the huge interest in Africa all the sudden? Do we have to hold the continent to get 3 extra Armies per turn or something?

I'll say it again. Obama is the most bad ass gangster on the planet. Hustling american citizens everyday! Everyone reads what he's doing. What do the people do? Nothing! LOL. Humanity allows this to happen. It's just too bad it seems like everyone has the lazy disease.

Everyone sit back and enjoy the show like you all have been doing. Whining, crying, acting like you can make a difference. But you don't.

Learn to adapt if you're not going to do anything about it.

Can someone go to one of those meme generators and use a picture of Oprah giving her audience free stuff with the caption:

"And you get a drone, and you get a drone...!"

The phrase "Don't drone me, bro" is going to become popular in the next 20 years.

Obama is a busy boy. Troops in Niger, Congo, Uganda, Sudan and Central African Republic and beyond.... Obama is following his "responsibility to Protect" orders to a T. Good little boy...

Gottal clean up Mali before the UN troops move in when "Operation Serval" is finished.

Obama's moves are mapped out by the "responsibility to protect" doctrine and by the International Crisis Group. You want to know what will happen next? Just study their websites..

We always make a contribution... Just like we did in Libya

French ground troops expected to swell to 3,700 total. UN 31 Jan said considering deploying up to 5,000 peacekeepers when Operation Serval is over.

Our head of state has no real power. Shes just an old lady with a family to look after at the end of the day. But the suits? Thier play is the one that puts them on the winning side as often as possible.
