“Submitting the final report, Brigadier General Ibrahim said Friday that the militants initially took 276 girls, but 57 escaped — either as the trucks drove away or soon after. “Many Nigerians have criticized the government for failing to rescue the girls or put a stop to the five-year insurgency by Boko Haram, which says it is trying to establish an Islamic state in northern Nigeria. The group has killed thousands of people in attacks on schools, markets, churches, mosques and other public places. “The Chibok kidnapping and other increasingly bloody attacks by Boko Haram have underscored Abuja's inability to stamp out the militant group, which aims to carve out a radical Islamist state in the mostly Muslim north. “In what could raise the ire of Jonathan's critics, Sabo recommended the findings of the fact-finding group appointed by the president remain confidential for national security reasons.”Just as they were later to do in Iraq, the US Obama regime sent ‘advisers’ by way of military and intelligence to Nigeria to help the government locate and rescue the missing girls. U.S. drones based in neighboring Chad have flown surveillance flights over the search area. After going viral with her hash tag with self picture, nothing further has been heard from Michelle Obama on the still missing 219 Nigerian school girls. But ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) resurrected her #BringBackOurGirls publicity stunt as #BringBackOurHumvee, complete with the same picture. “ISIS mocks Michelle Obama with photoshop of her famous tweet.” (Daily Mail, June 18, 2014). Perhaps the parents of the Michelle Obama-exploited missing Nigerian school girls should send out their own hash tag: #LooseLipsSinkShips.
