As usual it's pretty hilarious to watch liberals trying to "spin" the incompetence and corruption of progressives in the administration. If the liars and revisionists make their case, since they are not a threat to the US and as such not a terrorist organization...kinda makes Kerry out to be an incompetent fear monger, doesn't it? Look at common sense-by any reasonable definition they were terrorist animals, and deserve as much condemnation as this country can express. Hillary lacks the stones to risk offending terrorists. She saves that for the families of Americans slaughtered on her watch.
Aside from the reasons indicated what purpose would it serve for the US to place them on the terror list since this is a Nigerian problem.
It would have served no purpose at the time. On the contrary, the group would have worn the designation as an medal, and a tool to attract funding from other terror groups.
Good post, with such a broad definition the U S can spread a wide net. I wonder how long it will be before the list includes China and Russia for trading in other currencies besides USD. After all if they can get more countries to join them one would have to consider both countries a " threat to our economic interest". And thus by the wide net criteria they would fit into the terrorist designation, right?
No, because playing economic games does not satisfy the "engage in terrorist activity" criteria.
20 prominent U.S. academics in African studies I dontcare what some African studies folks say about who or who shouldnt be put on a terror list. Who cares what they say?
So the US should not take advice from experts in the region? Interesting.

So you think they should have ignored the criteria for the designation and just gone on feeling?

No. The group was placed on the list after the church bombings, which satisfy the criteria "posing a risk to US nationals, or the national security of the United States". There are many US missionaries in the area working with the churches.
What a smoking gun of incompetence! You got her OP! She will never be president now!
I wonder what it's like to live in a cute, simple little world, which has absolutely zero nuance? Must be refreshingly liberating to be able to divorce oneself from critical thinking.

They are nothing but academic study types. The Chief of US African Command said they share with Al Qaeda, connected to them. More than one person/group urged the terror classification.
Hillary really did accomplish NOTHING as Sec of State. Her leadership proved useless, worthless, and at times dangerous and incompetent. Yet, on cue, liberal nuts defend her.
Seriously, what in the world has she done that makes any of you think she should be POTUS? Her time as Sec of State proved worthless. And before that, what did she do that was so great in your minds? Besides stand by her cheating husband for political purposes?

Great Monday Morning Quarterbacking. You are trying to say that the 20 experts on African politics didn't know what they were talking about back then?
