#1 I guess El Jefe didn't hear about the collapse in the price of oil and the problems of the Soddies...

...True enough, but on the other hand the Saudis could be down to a buck fifty they found in the throne cushions and a couple of bus tokens and they'd still have more money than the Gambia.

#5 See RELATED WORLD MILITARY FORUM > GAMBIA DECLARES ITSELF TO BE AN ISLAMIC STATE, SECOND TO DECLARE AFTER MAURITANIA. PRO-TAIWAN, ANTI-BEIJING PRESIDENT JAMMEH ONCE TOLD FORMER US POTUS GEORGE BUSH [Dubya = Bush 43] IN 2007 HE CAN SEND GAMBIAN TROOPS TO ATTACK MAINLAND CHINA'S COASTAL ECONOMIC ZONE TO DETER EXPANSION BY BEIJING ACROSS THE TAIWAN STRAIT, + TO BASE GAMBIAN TROOPS ON TAIWAN TO HELP DETER ANY MILITARY ATTACK FROM BEIJING.

The above being said, looks like LIBERIA + SOUTH AFRICA are now that much important to US AFRICOM.
