Washington: The US has deployed about 80 troops to Chad in hunt for more than two hundred schoolgirls abducted by the Islamist militant group Boko Haram in neighboring Nigeria, US President Barack Obama has said.

"Approximately 80 US Armed Forces personnel have been deployed to Chad as part of the US efforts to locate and support the safe return of over 200 schoolgirls who are reported to have been kidnapped in Nigeria," Obama said in a letter to Congressional leadership.

These personnel, Obama said, will support the operation of intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance aircraft for missions over northern Nigeria and the surrounding area. The force will remain in Chad until its support in resolving the kidnapping situation is no longer required, he said.

pessimism?? Ner...just a boundless lack of confidence that the most powerful nation on earth has learned, through countless cock ups, that there are some things that you cant solve successfully by chucking a (preferably)ever bigger bomb at it

Agreed.

The American hero's as we have seen them portrayed for how many decades, has been tarnished beyond belief these past few years. Plus the same can be said for the Brit's. What is happening right now in this world is like a horror film playing out before our eyes, and like it or not we are a part of it and can do nothing to stop this lunacy.  affraid
