Yawn. Fourth time the Nigerian military claims to have killed him. The Nigerian AF also claims to have killed 300 insurgents in the same air raid. Video released shows 4 bombs dropped on some village huts and no other details. Probably timed for Kerry's visit so they can ask for another hand-out. Until we see real concrete evidence, this claim is up there as any Elvis sighting. |

Hope it's accurate. If so, the comment is, "hell, it's about time!" |

That's generally the way it works … and then the "New Guy" becomes a target. And eventually is Droned, etc., … Repeat … Basically, the 3 top priority targets on a tactical level is : Leadership Commo Heavy Weapons |

O surprise. One week after Kerry's visit to Nigeria and declarations that Boko Haram leader Shekau, had been "mortally wounded", Nigeria's Pres "walks back" claim Shekau is dead. Again. link |

Someone needs to sponsor a nice, secret, leadership retreat, invite them as well as any up and comers, and then bag the lot with a Rolling Thunder B52 strike. |

Mako 11: There's a cracking idea for gaming the next Bilderburg meeting! :-) Now that's a game I want to play! And then I can spray Agent Orange on the Gnomes of Zurich while they putter in their Babylonian gardens and illuminate the Illuminati with some Napalm from the torch of knowledge! If it could only be true! But, alas, all we can do is occupy Wall Street and get arrested for our troubles. Sigh, it's so unfair. Cheers and good gaming. Rod Robertson. |
