Push Only US Troops Into Syria & Nigeria Just To Be Faulted 

Feature Article Push Only US Troops Into Syria  Nigeria Just To Be Faulted
NOV 20, 2015 LISTEN

Do we need international strike force nimble enough to strike ISIS or Boko Haram everywhere? Boko kill more people in Nigeria than ISIS killed in all countries in 2014. The President of United States has the best military tacticians on where to strike. But it is difficult to destroy all guerrilla terrorists using crude improvised weapons hiding within civilians with conventional Army. The only unity among Arabs is the presence of foreign troops that ISIS uses to recruit sympathizers.

Local silence and fear encourage ISIS and their likes. Boko Haram began on Christians but folks were not Christians. They graduated to their own in Borno where fathers started reporting their own children as Boko Haram members. Hunters and vigilantes organized with crude weapons against Boko Haram. They might not have been effective as desired but their courage were notable and must be so recognized. Indeed, the General leading the Army against Boko Haram right now has moved from the capital to the battleground in Borno, where he originated.

The fight against terror begins at home. American lives are just as precious as Arabs. Only Arabs Muslims can solve and destroy their terrorists with the assistance of foreigners. It is not enough to say Islam is a religion of peace. People are sick and tired of hearing that, they must confront the radicals with the ideology and mentality these devils in sheep clothing use to attract their followers. Obama made that point which most news media and the politicians still ignore.

The bombing of Kenya and Tanzania Embassies by terrorists, continuous Boko Haram in Nigeria, two despicable tragedies in France and the downing of plane full of Russians in Egypt were acts of war that should have metamorphosed into world war the cowards want. But for smart military tacticians that advocate more than conventional means to confront guerrilla warfare, many countries would be ashes. African countries even have fewer resources to fight ISCIS.

There is no doubt the world is frustrated with ISIS and we are looking at the greatest power to bring them down. United States can level the whole of Syria and Iraq in less than ten days but ISIS would use it for recruits elsewhere. Politicians are just dancing to the frustration of all of us. If it was left to John McCain, he would have leveled the North East of Nigeria to get rid of Boko Haram. The question is how many places can United States’ young men and women be at once?

Some of us remember how critics jeered that Obama was not doing enough in Libya. He should have led and brought Gadhafi down after getting all the concessions, surrender of his nuclear pursuit, disclosure of source and compensation to families of those lost in Pan Am Flight 103. Obama got Gadhafi without losing one American soldier. It was not enough, Republicans turned Libya tragedy into spectacles longer and more expensive than Watergate probe and Iran/Contra

Power, no matter how great must be used judiciously. United States and Russia can destroy the world and each other; for that reason they avoid any confrontation. But those dancing to the gallery ignore that rule and want US to confront Russia in Syria wishing Russia would back off. Confront them in Ukraine (was part of USSR), in the Middle East, confront them anywhere and risk it all. Senator Moynihan had warned, you do not test a 10-ton guerrilla. 243 Russians were killed in Plane crash perpetrated by ISIS but Republicans do not want any Russian role in Syria!

Even then injustice and ignorance made those with less than high schools recruiting ground for conservatives, hoping to capture their “good old days” rendered helpless by technology and cheaper labor. They become bitter and dangerous not only to themselves but take the anger out on those they blame and perceive as enemies that denied them of their place. They hold on to religion to bring back lost way of life, kill themselves with unhealthy and risky behaviors.

Terrorists exploit poverty, marginalization and discrimination everywhere perpetrated by the same conservatives in the Middle East, Western and Eastern worlds. Conservatives everywhere think army and police can solve revolts among people that cannot take it anymore. They cut people limbs for stealing food, build the biggest prisons in the world for their untouchables or rejects and give the working class starving wages to keep them poor as unlimited profits rise.

They see and perceive the connection but preach otherwise and even blame poverty on the poor and their advocates. They pay the army and the police a little more and praise them to high heavens so that they can send them to do the impossible, that is suppress revolts and justify collateral damages when civilians are brutalized or killed. Some of these conservatives think it is a form of population control. Others see it as macho or African Safari sports.

We must be careful when we blame an army or police force used to perpetrate injustice and uncivilized acts. A United States Report blames Fergusson Riot on police culture while excusing an individual. Some people do not understand the gravity of the report. Some even claimed that the police himself was exonerated. It is not the messenger that took advantage of his job that must only be faulted; it is the culture that rewarded such action that must change.

Most generals that have been in wars hate war. They saw the consequences: those killed and maimed. Many lose their families and end up as beggars on the streets. In many countries where healthcare is rationed, they got little. In the richest Country in the world, they still beg for care with each successive government paying lip service. The only rich country that failed and fight to implement universal healthcare, cannot selectively provide for only veterans.

Nevertheless, watch those that have evaded military service, got exception or transferred to internal safe service demonize decorated service men like US presidential candidates like John Kerrey as soft on military or as cowards by swift-boating. Politicians would do anything to win, turn facts into fantasy and fantasy into fact. Just watch Donald Trump and Ben Carson act as if they have answers by outplaying conservatives at their own game with bellicose ISCIS rhetoric.

Ouvrez vos yeux. Conservatives are very religious so that no one but God can question their rational. You have to have faith. It is written and dictated by God. The same God that receive the poor in heaven and forgive the sins perpetrated against them on earth. It is the same God that is used to bless the slaves, the serves and the peasants. The God that promised terrorist 72 virgins to a guy, but just one hard dick that never dies for a lady terrorist, only after their death!
