Twenty U.S. senate women zero help to kidnapped school girls

Full shame on Senators Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.) and Susan Collins (R-Me) “leading” all 20 women in the U.S. Senate on their “bipartisan” letter to Obama denouncing the kidnappings of more than 200 Christian school girls in Nigeria-- nearly a month after they happened.

“The international community must impose further sanctions on this terrorist organization,” the group wrote. Did the 20 Senate women wait out the three weeks only springing into action when they saw political opportunities were waiting in the wings for a Benghazi-beleaguered Obama? “On Tuesday, all 20 women in the U.S. Senate sent a bipartisan letter to Obama denouncing the kidnappings and urging him to seek tougher sanctions on Boko Haram. "In the face of the brazen nature of this horrific attack, the international community must impose further sanctions on this terrorist organization,” said the group. (Yahoo May 6, 2014)

This is what their “bipartisan” letter made happen: President Barack Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry were to discuss the situation during an Oval Office meeting yesterday. The Obama administration yesterday sent out Press Secretary Jay Carney, the same source holding out on the government’s Benghazi lies, pleading “time is of the essence” and informing the public that the U.S. would assemble a special team in Nigeria to help that country’s government rescue more than 200 kidnapped schoolgirls before they are sold into slavery or killed. The team “would include U.S. military personnel, law enforcement officials with expertise in investigations and hostage negotiations, as well as officials with expertise in other areas that may be helpful to the Nigerian government in its response,” Carney said. “These girls were captured and kidnapped 22 days ago, and time is of the essence. Appropriate action must be taken to locate and to free these young women before they are trafficked or killed.” In other words, Hokum Boko Haram, a group the United States has branded a terrorist organization. Anyone sincere in a real offer to help would have struck long before the path grew cold, impacting the chances of the schoolgirls being sold into slavery or killed. Every moment is an eternity to the loved ones of the kidnapped girls. It must have been sheer torture for them hearing the lip service paid by Kerry, who merely stated the obvious when he told reporters at a joint press conference with European Union foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton: “Our embassy in Abuja is prepared to form a coordination cell that could provide expertise on intelligence, investigations and hostage negotiations and to help facilitate information-sharing and victim assistance.” It’s not “information-sharing” and “victim assistance” needed to bring the kidnapped girls home, but a daring rescue. “President Goodluck Jonathan was very happy to receive this offer and ready to move on it immediately. And we are immediately engaging in order to implement this,” Kerry said. “You can offer and talk, but you can't do it if a government has its own sense of how it's proceeding,” Kerry said. “I think now the complications that have arisen have convinced everybody that there needs to be a greater effort. And it will begin immediately; I mean literally immediately.” “Literally immediately” to John Kerry, is nearly one month later. Jonathan’s government did not move immediately and this is not a made-for-television movie. Evil Islamist group leader, Abubakar Shekau did not prevaricate like the politicians: “I abducted your girls,” he said in a 57-minute-long video obtained by AFP. The feeble effort on helping Nigeria save more than 200 girls kidnapped from their Chibok boarding school shows how low the long held, world-admired U.S.- to-the-rescue spirit has slipped under the Obama regime: The team the U.S. is putting on the ground in Nigeria will not include elite American commandos like those deployed to aid in the hunt for fugitive warlord Joseph Kony, officials said. (Yahoo.com) Meanwhile, the 20 women in the Senate, who lend themselves so readily to Obama’s bogus ‘War on Women’ masquerade should drop the ‘bipartisan’ pretense and take a stand to free all women and children from the continuing dangers of radical Islam. “Bipartisan” means zero to the agonized loved ones of innocent kidnapped girls.
