PhockPhockMan: Oga, Boko haram and Brain Injection no rhyme together and you don use your comment fall your hand, Guantanamo Bay wey you talk .. have you been there ? ? ? I am willing to wager top dollar that your information is from movies , Guantanamo bay is supposed to be a CIA black site, military prison for very violent terrorists , Unlike in Nigeria where every police cell is Guantanamo bay , Where SARS and Police torture people with hot pressing iron, cutlass and co. Information can be corrupted , especially when it leaves the source, As at the time of Invasion U.S.A Believed the information they had about weapons of mass destructions and IEDs are really in Iraq , If it wasn't the then's Government's alliance with terror, if they had cooperated in Iraq , USA probably wouldn't have invaded , and if you do read news , you would discover that the information about weapons of mass destruction and IED was from a very reliable and credible CIA/FBI source, Negotiations with the President in Iraq back then failed , The Oval office had no choice than to invade to protect the lives of the people and the American bases there in Iraq , And UN was involved in the Invasion contrary to your claim. In March 2003 the United States government announced that "diplomacy has failed" and that it would proceed with a "coalition of the willing" to rid Iraq under Saddam Hussein of weapons of mass destruction the US insisted it possessed. The 2003 invasion of Iraq began a few days later http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_Security_Council_and_the_Iraq_War. Whatever Evil Israel is committing, please share your sources otherwise everything you have written is about your hate for America and your Love for terrorism . United States will not Invade if there are no credible reasons , according to Wiki , Saddam Hussein did not agree to allow UN inspectors into the country to check / verify the truth about the information USA had recieved , he was stalling them Saddam Hussein was allowing / protecting al-Qaeda operative Abu Musab al-Zarqawi known terrorist who was involved with WTC bombings . If USA is the worst human right violator , Why hasn't Iran been invaded ?? , abi them too don't have Nuclear Plants from where they plan to manufacture Nuclear bombs IRAN went as far as preventing satellites from being able to take pictures of some of thier Installations on ground, why hasn't Iran been bombed yet ?? My brother , US is the world's big brother , it never does anything to violate people , except the Bad ones , Compared to some powerful people in Nigeria , US as a country has a very clear conscience and clean record 6 Likes |

More comedy. The GIANTS OF AFRICA can't produce weapons? Too bad. The reasons given here are rubbish. U.S knows the weapons are not meant to fight boko haram. So America should come and defeat boko haram when we have been told that every attack strategy discussed is leaked to boko haram by some Nigerian soldiers? Some of the uniforms and weaponsused by BH belong to the Nigerian. Army! Let's wake up from this slumber, GOVT is not SERIOUS about fighting boko haram. PERIOD!! 4 Likes |

Caseless: What's this one saying ? You no sabi where this yawa begin you carry aproko come dey insult pesin . Maybe its the world who is blinded by jealousy and hate , maybe its the world who is blinded by fury. I'm not saying US govt is perfect I'm saying they don't fumble about bullying other smaller nations WTC was bombed wasn't it ? Osama/Al quida claimed responsibility Some nations were celebrating the horrible incident while some scampered in fear for they know what will come What most people say is America went to Iraq for oil. How many times have you read that a bunker delivered crude to US borders even till date ? So think about it . and for your info I read different versions of news and opinions before drawing my conclusions Google.it Google.co.uk , Google.fr ,Google.com.es , Google.il , Even Google Saudi USA can not control all the search engines in the world. Of course there will be cry babies saying every move US makes is wrong , You don't go around dancing fire hoping not to get burnt Google : countries celebrate 9/11 or Saddam Hussein IED or All queida IRAQ. You would see that several factors amounted to invasion of Iraq not oil 3 Likes |

then teach them how to maintain it if they really want to help. US relationship with Nigeria is driven by fear. as Nigeria moves stronger day by day, more tension is created in the US. |

American has so brainwashed their citizens to the extent they feel they can brainwash other people too. They are on a long thing. Equipments we are buying with our money why worry if we can maintain them. Since they refused to sell military hardware to Nigeria and also block Nigeria's black arm purchase in south africa, they taught we won't know what they are up to and now that it is clear we know the game they are playing at and as Nigeria is about to turn to Russia they started giving out lame excuses expecting us to believe them.

I am not an American, I hate their ways as much u do, but come to think of it, would u produce and equipment that will eventual become your nightmare?

The US of all people is in no place to question the human rights of terrorists... Guantanamo bay,salt pit et al are there to be looked into so they shouldn't be hypocritical about that... About the mishandling of the weapon,that is still a bit understandable as it can be stolen/hijacked at any time and used ulteriorly But its a known fact that the US is usually apprehensive of countries with nuclear aspirations An example is China whose new stealth J-31 weapon was said to be a cheap model of their F-22 and F-35's... I wonder whatever happened to their keeping silent and observing |

Its plausible but unreasonable to think that. Yes we are piss poor at maintenance but who buys arms for the long term anyway. We just want our military to put down the insurgency (not my idea), clear our heads then take a comprehensive look towards rebuilding the entire security forces. The choppers to me are merely a stop gap. Secondly just how sophisticated is the Cobra. The platform is mid fifties, upgraded several times since. It has an excellent combat record and is favoured by the marines to deploy and extract under pressure. But we donot have 'marines'. Its not our TRADOC. We don't operate that way. When you consider what we have, the russian Mi-34's its family, they are more rugged, equally proven, much cheaper to buy and run and very importantly is and remains the best hovering weapons platform in the world. The down side. Speed, agility and ergonomics are poor. So great for infantry, terrible for marines. The question is. In view of this new type of assymetrical warfare we are waging. Is our military on the throes of evolution. If so the Americans are wrong. We will get to use their equipment, if not let us just stick to what we are familiar with. Even when a man is completely blinded. It doesn't take hunger for his hand to find his mouth. 1 Like 1 Share |
