Special Forces are now helping out in Mali, Nigeria, Uganda, Yemen, Somalia, Burkina Faso, Mauritania, Ethiopia, Djibouti, Kenya. They operate from a number of small air bases so that we can protect the U.S. and Africa from terrorists.
Surprisingly, we are using unarmed planes, most of which look like private planes. They are not jets, they look like most private planes flying in the African skies. Inside the plane, however, there is the level of sophistication one would expect from Special Forces: hidden sensors that can record full-motion video, track infrared heat patterns, and vacuum up radio and cellphone signals.
Not so surprisingly, we ensure that private contractors get enough work to keep them profitable. (Did I hear you mention 'mercenaries'?)
Some State Department officials who are obviously biased against protecting our country have claimed that the military are gradually taking over foreign policy. These diplomats believe that most terrorists in Africa are too busy trying to overthrow the local bosses that they don't have time to attack us. In fact, the work of the Special Forces is aggravating the natives so that
they have begun to hate us.
