U.S. sending troops to Chad to find Nigerian girls
[Fox News] The Obama administration has deployed 80 military personnel to Chad to help locate the nearly 300 schoolgirls kidnapped in Nigeria by Islamist militants Boko Haram. Say what? Where are the French? It's their turf, no ? Pentagon spokesman Lt. Col. Myles Caggins said the team will mostly be made up of Air Force personnel responsible for operating a single unmanned, unarmed drone. The drone will be flying out of an airstrip in Chad -- which shares a portion of its western border with northeastern Nigeria -- with a mission to search for the girls in Nigeria. 20 USAF drone support personnel, 60 USAF personnel to support billeting, AC units, rec center, and the procurement of French rations. Other U.S. service members will be assigned to act as an armed security force tasked with protecting the team. The team was scheduled to arrive Wednesday. Other "service members" .....intentionally undefined. Obama formalized the decision with a letter to House Speaker John Boehner and the Senate notifying lawmakers about the steps underway to assist in the return of the abducted girls. The Champ desperately needs a win, any win. Wednesday's news conference was definitely not a win. Admission of any type of healthcare failure IS NOT AN OPTION!
