[Rooters] The United States said on Friday it had decreased its surveillance flights in the search for more than 200 schoolgirls abducted by Islamist militants in Nigeria, but added that the overall effort was unchanged due to more flights by other countries.
More flights by other countries permits us to more easily lead from behind.
The defense official said surveillance alone would not lead to a resolution. "It will take Â… the Nigerian piece of the equation with their own sources and human intelligence coupled with the other forms to really understand the picture."
Translation: If they [the Nigerians] are not interested, why should we be. Besides, the story is no longer sensational or poll-worthy. |
