My weekend has ended (mercifully)….time to move on to reality………

Recently a new term has been added to the world lexicon………..Boko Haram.

Now that the entire world has awakened to the situation in Northeast Nigeria…..everybody has an idea of what is going on…….let me assist because there is so much bullsh*t and lies out there that it needs to be straightened out……..

First, Boko Haram is NOT a who, but rather a what.

Boko Haram is among the most vicious terrorist groups operating in North Africa, home to some of the worst Islamist extremists in the world.  Boko Haram opposes the education of girls and has kidnapped girls to use as cooks and sex slaves. It has killed hundreds of children.  The group seeks to replace Nigeria’s government with a strict Islamic state.  Its home base is the Sambisa Forest, a game preserve in Nigeria’s northeast eight times larger than Yellowstone, and it has several hundred to a few thousand fighters.

Now that the world is watching and showing some concern the mental midgets are coming out of the woodwork to add their two cents……the first piece of crap I heard was from Steve Douche Bag from Fox News…….he got on the high horse and stated that Boko Haram was not on the terror list until recently thanks to Clinton and Obama……..he was correct on one front….Boko Haram was added to the list recently, not sure the exact date………….the leader of the group,  Abubakar Shekau, has been on the list for two years……so the movement has been on radar for at least two years and the group was labelled a “regional” threat only.

A political sideshow to the escalating focus on the Nigerian militant group Boko Haram is what it means for Hillary Clinton’s presidential prospects. Boko Haram was not officially designated a terrorist group until Clinton stepped down and John Kerry became Secretary of State. This, Republicans tell us, reveals she is weak on terrorism and doesn’t have the leadership or foresight to keep the country safe as president.

To try and make a substantive political point on the basis of the farcical and arbitrary State Department terrorist list is laughable. The “official list” is so fickle and ludricous as to be useless in any serious political discussion except to demonstrate how illegitimate it is.

The next mouthy moron was that of Rush boy……on his radio program he went into a usual diatribe and called Boko Haram a vicious al-Qaeda cell, one of the most vicious…..okay, my correction….it is a horribly destructive extreme Islamist group…..but being such does not automatically make them a member of the AQ group.  I do wish that people would cease supporting lying morons…….it seems AQ has issued a statement on Boko Haram…….

Al-Qaeda has issued comments today angrily condemning Nigerian militant faction Boko Haram for the kidnapping of hundreds of Nigerian schoolgirls, and the threat to sell them into slavery.

The comments, published on a website popular with the faction, declared the action is a violation of Islamic law, and threatens to “taint the image of the Mujahedeen.”

Al-Qaeda’s leadership has become increasingly aware of its public image in recent months, disavowing any connect with al-Qaeda in Iraq (AQI) after high profile executions in Syria, and chiding members about civilian casualties.

Nigeria-centric Boko Haram and al-Qaeda have no direct ties, though there have been some claims of Boko Haram working with al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) on a limited basis.

I understand that the Right needs to find stuff that they can use against Clinton and Obama, especially Clinton, after all there will be an election soon that they will surely lose…..AGAIN!

These twats lose all credibility every time they make the news and the analysis to fit their paradigm……why let facts get in the way of a bullsh*t story……these are the types of idiots they (idiot Right) look to for leadership…NO wonder they cannot win a national election.

Someone please explain to me how the generation of lies helps in the search for the kidnapped girls?  What is the point of generating hate for a particular person?  Does it help the girls in any way?

Just thought I would ask.

And now you know more about Boko Haram than you did yesterday……….you are welcome!
