Maybe we can get the French to invade Mexico in order to clean up after Obama handed out all those weapons to the drug cartels.

Heck maybe France can just save time by going to the source of the problem and invade the U.S. to help liberate us from another king.

From Reuters:

The attack was the first time in years that Islamist militants are known to have launched an attack on an Algerian energy facility.

The attack could have implications for security across the whole of Algeria’s energy sector, which supplies about a quarter of Europe’s natural gas imports and exports millions of barrels of crude oil each year.

Such an attack would require a large and heavily-armed insurgent force with a degree of freedom to move around — all elements that al Qaeda has not previously had.

However, the conflict in neighbouring Libya in 2011 changed the balance of force. Security experts say al Qaeda was able to obtain arms, including heavy weapons, from the looted arsenals of former leader Muammar Gaddafi.

Blowback. When will we learn!

That is just not possible, Obama said Al-qaeda is on the run.

An Al-Qaeda group simply told Obama they are “anti Al-Qaeda” and Obama gave them money and weapons. I mean that is basically what it sounds like we did in Mali. This forced the Mali government to ask the French for help to clean up the mess we started.

You can’t make this stuff up if you tried…
