John McCain: I'd send U.S. troops to Nigeria 'in a New York minute'

John McCain knows what we should be doing to help rescue the children kidnapped by Nigerian terrorists. If you guessed "send in the troops," congratulations. And if you didn't guess "send in the troops," you haven't really been paying attention now, have you.
But let's remember for a moment that this guy wanted to become president.
“If they knew where they were, I certainly would send in U.S. troops to rescue them, in a New York minute I would, without permission of the host country,” McCain told The Daily Beast on Tuesday. “I wouldn’t be waiting for some kind of permission from some guy named Goodluck Jonathan,” he added, referring to the president of Nigeria.
first thought, a republican Pres. defying the country's laws and sending in troops to save little Black girls that sounds so much like not something they would do, and more like political posturing, designed to say they would do more than Pres. ever notice when they say these things the only other alternative is war or boots on the ground?  prologue to what a republican presidency will bring to the country or should i say take away from the country, your kids and the budget, but they are still fiscally responsible even with millions in witch hunts an more to come they still hold the purse strings and what is missing from the purse.

U.S. military intervention may also be complicated by existing law. The Leahy Amendment bars direct aid to any foreign military guilty of human rights abuses — a charge the State Department has made of the Nigerian military in the past.

oop's forgot to do his president homework get's him another failing grade, are you not relieved you didn't vote for him and Sarah?
