 File under: Boko Haram 

#1 The kidnapping of the girls is 6th century fundamentalist Islam. The girls are now wives of the the raiders and others back at the base. They are the reward for loyalty to raiding and killing for "Alah". Not that they should not be rescued, but trying to shame Boko Haram Islamists into returning the girls most likely will not happen.

#2 A large efficient military force at your disposal and no will to use it, means that "shaming" is the only weapon in your arsenal that you will use.

#3 Hillary had the chance to list Boko Harum as a terrorist group while Secretary of State and did not.

Yet another foreign policy victory for the Obama administration. These folks are so wise, so prescient, so competent.

#5 Race and gender hustlers - NB, this is what the people, who you disparagingly heap the term 'privilege' upon, keep so many thousands of miles away from your doorsteps. This is what the world has been for thousands of years. You live in a very small bubble of the one percent of history.

#6 Hey Bobby, will this do ?












Myself, I would say this whole episode is like yelling "Squirrel" in crowded theater, all the nuts start running around.

Yet in essence I must agree with P2kontheroad, the Hausa tribe (mohamadeans) aka Boko Haram have been doing these tribal raids for brides for centuries. Nothing new here, just has grabbed the attention of the shallow western media, and frankly to apply logic of the former Secretary of State Clinton - "What difference does it make now."

< img src ="http://www.marxist.com/images/stories/nigeria/boko_haram_map.jpg" width = "400" / >

Remove the space after the < and the space just before the > and you mage will show after copying the above line of HTML code into your comment. Must be the url to an online image. It will look like this below.



img src width are the three key words to an HTML image tag. src width you supply corresponding values to. The < and /> are the beginning and ending image tag symbols.

Option 2. Clicking the third from right symbol at the bottom of the Rantburg comment box brings up field where you just enter an image URL address http://www.marxist.com/images/stories/nigeria/boko_haram_map.jpg and Rantburg creates the image tag for you behind the scenes within your comment. Click Preview in your comment box to see if it works before clicking Submit.

#9 One last correction. Very long week. Option 2 you should click the first symbol from the right at the bottom of the Rantburg comment box. Rantburg creates the code in the comment box. You enter the image URL after the src= tag.

#10 Yep, the resolution will go to Bok0 Haram as an attachment to the UNs strongly worded letter.
