Congressional Testimony on Boko Haram: Two Dopes

Hat tip Vlad Tepes


Here is a short clip of Deputy Secretary of State for African Affairs Robert Jackson testifying before Congress on Boko Haram and the kidnapping of 300 Nigerian schoolgirls. He is answering a question from Senator Jeanne Shaheen, (D-NH). This is a fascinating exchange.



No, Senator. We don't want to get confused, do we?

For the record, the official name of Boko Haram is  Congregation of the People of Tradition (Sunna)  for Proselytism (Dawa) and Jihad. 

Robert Spencer in Jihad Watch has more on what Mr Jackson is telling the folks up on Capitol Hill.

One person who (unlike Jackson and Shaheen) is not confused is the leader of Boko Haram, Abubaker Shekau. He knows very clearly why he is committing all these atrocities.

In the below video, he tells us who told him to abduct the girls.

Does that not speak for itself, Mr Jackson and Senator Shaheen? Or is there a misinterpretation in the video-another explanation perhaps as to who told him to kidnap the girls and kill all the Christians?


"Ollie told me to do it."

The Webster Dictionary is changing the spelling for the word "incompetence". The new spelling is "Obama" and the plural is "Obama Administration".

Sure Gary, and the Son of Sam is the world's ultimate expert on why he did what he did. He got instructions from the neighbors' dog. If you want to know what justification the Zodiac Killer had, just ask him. He knows.

Were Bonnie and Clyde a couple of Robin Hood heroes fighting for the common man? Just ask them, they know.

Don't listen to all the Christian leaders who condemn the Lord's Resistance Army, ask the commander if he's fighting for God and Jesus Christ. He knows. He's not confused.

(You said you used to work in law enforcement, right?)

Well Gary, you are the expert on your own state of mind.
