#5 I am glad to see that the US sees the threat and puts resources on the ground to help the area residents protect themselves. The more that they can do themselves, the more they will grow socially and politically, and the stronger they will be in resisting this terrorist cancer.

#6 "We’re "looking at Africa as a place of growth for the Marine Corps and the Department of Defense . . ."

That's a good thing, considering the Islamics want to make Africa an "Islamic Continent."

"But in the Chadian sunshine, soldier Abakar Ibrahim clearly shows how US training has instilled pride and antiterror resolve. We’re sharpshooters now," he says, keeping his finger off the trigger of his AK-47, just as the marines taught him to do. "Terrorists are the enemy for all the world. We can help America fight them."

US troops instilling pride and antiterror resolve . . . what's the world coming to.

#7 With greater American activity, there’s a danger [Muslim groups will] "become more extreme," warns Anneli Botha, a senior terrorism researcher at the Institute for Security Studies in Pretoria, South Africa.

It's so much better when they do quiet things, like forging S. African passports...
