France is having to fix the problem that the PC establishment in DOD
and Dept of State have created. Some of these rebels were trained and
equipped by US Special Forces. Not to mention the AQ outsiders who came
from Libya, are/were bankrolled by some of our allies. The US has made fighting
AQ in Western Africa its'priority for the last decade, yet has failed miserably.
Until the US gets serious about punishing our "allies" who are funding this mess,
it will only get worse. Boko Haram in Nigeria, and AQ in the Magreb are funded
by specific people known to the USA. And yet nothing has been done.
