US Special Forces for #BringBackOurGirls? Why not?



McCain: Send U.S. Special Forces to Rescue Nigerian Girls

Excerpt:
“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 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.
Comments: The "why not?":
  • Remember Operation Eagle Claw? 8 dead in the desert! (At least that was our fight). Or Black Hawk Down?
  • Violates the principle of engaging only when our nation's interests are truely involved.
  • Every special forces engagement not only risks US personnel .. .but civilians 

Who should?
