Apparently another Khadr family member has been scooped up. Zaynab Khadr was arrested in Turkey and is now waving her citizenship of convenience to get Canadian consular assistance.

Justin will probably fire up a Challenger to bring her home post haste.

Norm!

She was the creep advocating suicide bombing and openly supporting the Taliban, you know the group that likes to throw acid in the faces of or shooting girls that dare to get an education.
That whole family is like a virulant welfare sucking cancer in this country.
From what I understand she's being held in Turkey in extrajudicial detention which means that we don't know if the reason that they're holding her is criminal or immigration.
I'm sure they'll be happy to send her back, and Justin will be happy to bring her back. IIRC Chretien was instrumental in pushing to get the father sent back to Canada and we all saw how that turned out.
She's a Canadian and most of that family are Canadian for the expressed purpose of living on welfare and using the free healthcare system and to do fundraising for various "Charities"
Personally she described her time living with the Taliban as the 5 happiest years of her life. We should encourage her to follow up on that.

More bombing is not the answer.
Drone strikes are going to kill more of these citizens.
The smart move would be targeted attacks by special forces with our allies.

Nigeria has about the 10th largest oil reserves in the world, and is about the 13th largest producing nation in the world.
They are a massive player in the international oil market.

(pardon the Wikipedia reference, but they should do the trick for the purposes of this)

Just FYI we were there last year along with 1600 other NATO troops providing training to government forces fighting boko Haram. It is a yearly US army exercise called operation flintlock.
"Troops from Canada are training African counterparts in shooting, communications and mission planning – skills they could use in order to combat groups such as Boko Haram, which controls more than 50,000 square kilometres of territory in western Africa and is destabilizing the region."
http://www.cbc.ca/beta/news/politics...acks-1.2953371
And we are going back there again in the next few weeks.
"As many as 100 soldiers, most of them special forces from Petawawa, will be heading to Senegal to conduct counter-terrorism training for African commandos.
The training comes in the aftermath of the killings of six Canadians in Burkina Faso and as western nations try to shore up African militaries to battle Islamic extremists."
http://ottawacitizen.com/news/politi...orism-exercise
So blame the media for not making these stories more accessible and known to the public because even though it isn't a full blown combat mission we are trying to do something there.

Er those were both really specific strikes with a clear identifiable person as the goal, to be captured or killed. Are you saying that there should be a US military presence but it should be limited to, effectively, assassinations?

Dozens of terror profiles in the database owned by Thomson Reuters seen by VICE News include:
- Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) Executive Director, Nihad Awad, one of a select group of American Muslim leaders invited to join former US President George W. Bush in a press conference condemning the 9/11 attacks. CAIR, the recipient of multiple leadership awards, is also terror-listed by World-Check.
- Liberal Democrat politician Maajid Nawaz, who founded counter-extremism think tank Quilliam and has advised successive British prime ministers.
- Former World Bank and Bank of England advisor Mohamed Iqbal Asaria, who was given a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) award in the 2005 Queen's Honours List for services to international development.

I consider CAIR to be an Islamist apologist organization that obfuscates issues to the detriment of oppressed minorities (gays, women and apostates foremost among them) in Muslim-majority countries... but these sorts of lists are just a non-starter, regardless of what one might think of the positions of anyone on them. Fascistic witch-hunt garbage.

Not to mention that those "pin point operations" involved huge scale wars first to eliminate the security/military presence around those targets first.
They didn't just go in and kill Saddam Hussein. They had a war first and destroyed the army around him.
Realistically, you can't just send in a few ground troops into a group like Boko Haram and expect to just successfully kill the leaders without casualties. That's, in fact, the main reason why drone strikes are so heavily relied upon.
