| US Keeping Close Eye On 'Nascent' ISIS Training Camps In Libya, General Says |
| 2014-12-05 |
| [FoxNews] The head of the U.S. Africa Command said Wednesday that the U.S. is very carefully watching what he described as “nascent” Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... training camps in Libya --- but downplayed the threat they posed. Gen. David Rodriguez said in a Pentagon press briefing that it is his belief that the camps may be made up of local militias that are trying to get on the map by working “the ISIS label.” “We don’t have enough information to know how serious they are,” he said. He also said the U.S. is also assisting in the search for the hundreds of schoolgirls who were kidnapped in Nigeria by Boko Haram ... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality... , and has found areas of interest. However, there is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened... he said the Nigerian government has been unable to follow up on those leads. |

| #5 Washington doesn't seem to be able to determine whether or not we are at war with these guys (ISIS). It seems like they are leaning towards "not at war." |

| #3 Yep, just like my old watch dog. When the burglars came in he sure watched them. |

| #2 “We don’t have enough information to know how serious they are,” he said. Translation: ValJar, Brennan, and Rice continue to deprioritize the training camp target folders. |

| #1 I would prefer the "close eye" to be attached to something like a cruise missile or a large smart bomb. |
