The French aren't stepping up. It is their territory that is under attack. If Puerto Rico was under attack, we wouldn't be stepping up to fight off terrorists, it would be our responsibility in the first place.
Amadou Haya Sanogo is the terrorist leader. He was educated in the US in 2001, 2002 and 2004. Then in 2008, he was plucked from obscurity to train for two years at Ft. Benning and Quantico in military strategy at our war college. Why was that do you think? He was selected for officer training by our State Department. Hillary Clinton did it, but not alone. She takes orders from obama. Sanogo returned to Mali and overthrew the democratically elected government in 2012.
Mali has obama's fingerprints all over it. Tens of thousands of people are going to die because obama wants to spread Al Quaeda. But, he's going to pose for propaganda photos with children so we know he cares.
