Leader of boko haram. And i dont expect you too and of course in the case of the school girls, i believe it was some 15 of them were muslim. So it was the education and the freedom and empowerment and the progress that boko haram was attacking as it attacked the school girls as much as it was anything to do with religion. Im not denying that religion doesnt appear to be a very important factor for the leadership, but that is that is different from saying it is the sole motivation and it is different from trying to understand the impact of their actions on muslim civilians throughout the northeast.

It is a wa

Weights of bottles and cans in its Buyback Centers in order to get more money from the states recycling programs. And this is just an example what would go on all day.

And the secretary of state, Hillary Clinton, who was on the contrary, very present, very active, very engaged and very wrong. I want to go through a little bit in my remarks before we open this up to questions. I want to tell you a bit, in detail, the story o
