Breaking news : senators demand answers after it's revealed trump send thousands of troops to niger without telling congress

Boots on the ground in niger without telling Congress?

Is that an impeccable offenses?

No-- it's covered in the "War on Terror Authorization Act" Same as Somalia, Yemen, & Horn of Africa.
It's all fine, part of our "partnership with France"... We have "boots on the ground EVERYWHERE"
Congress never cared when Obama, Bush,Clinton, Bush or Nixon have been in office.
No reason to start "caring" now...

Graham is a LIAR- His best buddy McStain serves on the CFR and Foreign Accountability Oversight Commitee- He damn well knows where our "boots on the ground are" -- Just put a finger anywhere on the global map, and wahla! Boots on the ground!

Fuck em
We have been fighting in Africa for DECADES !!!

Graham is a mega shill along with yahoo "news"

How pathetic, McCain, Schumer & Lindsay clueless where are troops are

Lindsay "The Man Humper" Graham had no reason to know.

If he does not like that, get the Senate to change the rules.

This war on terror crap needs to end.why cant we just bomb israel.they are almost always 3 degrees of seperation from the nutjob with a bomb vest.we all know whos sponsoring and financing this.
No different than fast and furious.
Could average joe sell dope on the street and call it an investigation while the profits line his pockets?
Whats in africa is worth dying for?

The bigger question is who tipped them off?

Just like the Yeman fiasco.

Imran Awan had all the data.....connect the dots.





With Niger, media and Democrats suddenly wake up to Obama's wars


U.S. special forces arrived in Niger in January 2013 on the orders of President Obama. They were then followed by about a 100 military personnel and advisers with the intention of conducting unmanned reconnaissance missions over Mali in conjunction with French military forces to continue a broad-based escalation of operations in the region from as early as 2005.

In a letter to Congress, President Obama stated: “This deployment will provide support for intelligence collection and will also facilitate intelligence sharing with French forces conducting operations in Mali, and with other partners in the region” as part of a Status Forces Agreement signed that previous January 2013.

Reuters reported in February 2013: “France intervened in Mali, which borders Niger, last month as Islamist forces, who seized control of the north in the confusion following a military coup in March 2012, pushed towards the capital Bamako. That lifted Mali to the forefront of U.S. and European security concerns, with fears the Islamists would turn the country into a base for international attacks.”

again ISIS claimed it. but we dismiss ISIS claims because we don't recognize terrorist groups... because it would give the terrorists validation.

Islam is the problem.

U.S. Senators demand answers?

Actually doing something?

Damn! That is breaking news!

It would be amazing if Congress started doing the job we're paying them to do, yes.

How are we reduced to having a reality/realty tv personality and a putz like Pense in the freaking White house???????

Incredible!!!!

It is like Satan has shifted into 4th gear with these freaking clowns.

Wait...what? Troop’s were sent to Niger on Obama’s watch. Trump didn’t send them there, U.S. troops were sent there by Obama admin to help French troops and also aid in the fight against Boko-Harem. Remember “bring our girl’s back”?

We had special forces in Africa during the entire Obama administration, and also during the Bush administration.

A good friend of mine in the Army Reserve just left for Africa, the deployment was in the works since before Trump was elected. And other people in his unit were already over there 2 years ago.

Fuck you in the ass. You got Mohammed motherfucker tattooed on your forehead. You think you can slit your fucking throat and bleed out to make the world a better place.

niger first!

die for niger!

I remember a post awhile back when Obama was president about uncle Intel about them gearing up to got Kenya or some shit. Why are they making a big fuss over anything Trump does. Its starting to get highly un called for

Doesn't anybody realize the domino effect that will happen if Niger falls!?!? For our freedom we MUST SAVE NIGER!!!!!!

What sort of drugs are you on, Boy?

You been smoking that crack, or what.

Nice title you fabricated OP. Turd

Look at your savior obammy

Obama put them there in the first place

how many troops were there when Obama left office we wonder?

He put some of them, but Trump has put a lot more. And anyway, Trump could remove all of them, but he didn't.

Do you know how much Donald Trump has expanded forces into Africa?

Here are the AFRICOM bases operating prior to August of this year:

AFRICOM - COL Bilate
AFRICOM - COL Hurso
AFRICOM - FOS Gilbert

Here are the AFRICOM bases operating AFTER August of this year:

AFRICOM - CJTF-HOA
AFRICOM - CSL Accra
AFRICOM - CSL Algiers
AFRICOM - CSL Bamako
AFRICOM - CSL Bangui
AFRICOM - CSL Bujumbra
AFRICOM - CSL Dakar
AFRICOM - CSL Freetown
AFRICOM - CSL Gaborone
AFRICOM - CSL Kigali
AFRICOM - CSL Libreville
AFRICOM - CSL Lusaka
AFRICOM - CSL N'Djamena
AFRICOM - CSL São Tomé
AFRICOM - CSL Tunis
AFRICOM - CSL Windhoek
AFRICOM - CSL Zinder
AFRICOM - MCC Somalia

That is quiet a nice (and quiet) expansion into Africa isn't it?

Another thing Obama di that must be undone. Why add to it?

I bet Awan knew.

Where's Djibouti? Where's your link? You are full of shit.

IKR, they knew.

Oh, boots on the ground in a lot more than Niger. How does 19 different countries in Africa now, put there by AFRICOM and SOCAFRICA, and almost all of that expansion since Trump took office without informing Congress.

There is a google map where you see "quiet" American bases all over Africa, but GLP doesn't allow posting Google map links here.

So, google this and you will find it:

"The Pentagon's growing posture in Africa might be hard to figure out, but its not all secret."

Then click the "US Military in Africa" link.

Africa first!
