MORE U.S. INTERVENTIONISM …

U.S. president Barack Obama has deployed three hundred American troops to Cameroon with the stated mission of fight Boko Haram – an Islamic extremist group that is affiliated with the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS).

The U.S. military presence is “part of a broader regional effort to stop the spread of Boko Haram and other violent extremist organizations in West Africa,” the White House said.

Cameroon, for those of you educated in a government-run public school in the United States, is located on the Atlantic coast of Africa.  It is bordered to the west by Nigeria and to the east by Chad.

Do we have any business whatsoever being there?  Or anywhere in Africa?  Hell no.  Yet there we are nonetheless … needlessly exposing our soldiers to yet another front in our failed “War on Terror.”

How long will this deployment last?

No one knows …

Obama said the U.S. troops would remain in Cameroon until they were “no longer needed.”

Sheesh …

Gotta love those clearly defined exit strategies, right?

How much will it cost?

Again, there’s no immediate estimate … although be sure that “Republicans” and Democrats in Washington, D.C. will see to it that this mission (and other failed interventions around the globe) gets as much of your money as it needs.

Well that’s odd, I guess I’m not in cahoots with these guys after all. Where are my worshipers GrandTango and Flip? Surely they can explain.

Where are the democrats? Why aren’t they screaming about an illegal war? When will Hillary and Bernie be asked about this?

“Why aren’t they screaming about an illegal war?”

Because it’s Barack doing it and it’s better PR than drone striking wedding parties or mini-gunning doctors tents.

pffft… I’m publicly educated. We know what the fuck Cameroon is.

I’m sure I can find some home schooled Bob Jones graduates who don’t know their own armpits from assholes… let alone locate Cameroon on map.

I’m kinda glad he clarified that. I always thought it was just a little bit south of Saskatoon.

Again, this just reinforces my thought that we need to have an American Foreign Legion.
Although if some country wanted to pay for the French Foreign Legion to kick ass I wouldn’t have any objection – you know that libertarian thing that FITS always has a hard on for
Hell, maybe then he can join himself and get his jollies off because he is so frustrated he missed out when he had a chance to. But back then he was too busy being Sanfraud’s “Hey Boy”
That’s why he bitches about the military so much.
I’ve seen the same thing over and over from 30ish-40ish year old dudes who’ve expressed “coulda/shoulda/woulda” since 9/11. It will grate on their asses till the day they die and I don’t feel much empathy for them.

I went to a public school in SC and a public university. I know where Cameroon is. I can even name the capitols of the countries that border the Mediterranean if you want. We studied geography. Not to mention history. I guess it was your school where they did not teach that. I would be interested to see if any of those private school brats from White Flight Christian Academy 22, could do as well.

Well, “capitol” is for the actual building. Capital is for the city. I would say you reinforced Will’s point in an unexpected manner. As an aside, I am also a product of “government-run public schools”.

Ah….. beautiful Cameroon, home of the Carolina and Colonial Cups! Had many wonderful times there. I’m a little shocked that Obama is bold enough to try and curb the local criminals. I always thought he was encouroging to them?

At least now there’s something to search for.

In other news, I went to college with the hottest blon I’ve ever met/seen/lusted after and her name was “Cameron”, and we always called her Cameroon.

The knock on public schools reminds me of Todd Kincannon’s constant refrain of how smart he is because he has 3 degrees from Erskine and was homeschooled by Mommy. Whatever happened to that genius? Let me Google him to see what wonderful life his non-public school education led to… Oh dear.
