And you thought the Hillary backers were tweaked over the Benghazi scandal
- Thread starter reefraff
- Start date
Did Boko Haram pose a national threat to the USA or our interests while Hillary was at the State Department? Are they international terrorists? At the time Nigeria did not want this group designated fearing that doing so would enhance their position as a radical group, be an advertisement for recruitment, etc. Truth is, the abduction is horrible, but it is Nigeria's problem (not ours). Also, they were put on the list last yr, and the girls were still abducted.

I tend to agree with Beth. The result most likely would be the same. I am curious if there may have been financial reasons to keep them off the list. The IRA made the list when it was created, and they have never been a threat as terrorists except within their own nation. I don't think a terrorist group need be a threat to us to make the list...

LOL! Nigeria has such a great history of not allowing shady financial dealings within their country why should we think they might let money influence their policies
Would it have stopped the current incident from happening? Impossible to say but John Kerry put them on the list last November. I think it is ironic how Hillary was pontificating on the issue last week.

And what's Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, and Rand Paul's position on it? Chirp, chirp. Crickets.
