US President Barack Obama has announced that US armed forces have been deployed to Cameroon to help fight against the Islamist militants Boko Haram. The force, which will be 300 strong, will conduct airborne intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance operations in the region. Cameroon and Chad have been targeted by the Islamist militants from northern Nigeria. Mr Obama said the forces would remain in Cameroon until "no longer needed".

This is the same president that based his platform on bringing troops home, right?

I don't see why anyone would have a problem with this. This group is absolutely a threat to national security.

the biggest pussy POTUS ever sends troops to some shithole African country to fight a farcical group of thugs while Putin invades Syria in the name of defeating the JV team. Its so sad when an effeminate man tries to look tough.
What's next Barry? Holding a 9mm sideways while you sneer at the camera? Just be the pussy you really are. At least it would be honest.

Did they find oil in Cameroon?

I'm pretty surprised Obama decided to do this over just drone-ing the frick out of them.

Damn. A family member is there on a multi- year mission trip. Not what I wanted to hear.

I would not consider airborne surveillance operations to be "fighting"....I have no problem with this...

Right yo?
Here's a man who has disparaged and derided our military and America's use of force at every turn. But now that he is being essentially called out by the Russian president, he feels compelled to insert the U.S. in a situation that contradicts every liberal, pacifist principal his party champions.
It's embarrassing and you should be embarrassed for him.

Whoa!??? Disparaged our military? When? Show proof.

I ain't doing your homework for you. Google it.

Good thing we have Obama. Otherwise we might be involved in conflicts all over the world.

Well that is a good point. There is a black girl that i work with that says her homeland is africa. She was born in and lives in nola. As did her parents and grandparents.
So i guess the united states needs to protect africa since that is home.

Boko Haram is allied with ISIS.
If we're fighting ISIS, then I see nothing wrong with sending 300 troops to provide intelligence/surveillance/recon support against Boko Haram.

Agreed. Boko Haram is on par with ISIS when it comes to brutality.

No they aren't, it's a problem strictly local to that area.
