3. No. The UN has been begging Canada to go to Niger or Mali with troops.

There is growing Islamic terrorism in North Africa and it will only get bigger if we don't stop them now. I don't want to see anyone fight and die. But I more don't want to see 13 year old girls kidnapped. Unfortunately we are at war. I am in no way saying the US should not have been there. Or that a failed rescue of one man out of many is Trump's fault. I'm just wondering if the issue here is that the Trump White House and Republicans are so cynical because they themselves are so calculating that they can no longer govern properly.
