Sounds like the USA is building a coalition to fight Boko Haram. Sound familiar?: On Thursday, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said he and British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond discussed a special initiative to deal with Boko Haram, but he did not elaborate. Speaking in Sofia, Bulgaria, Kerry said Boko Haram is without question one of the most evil and threatening terrorist entities on the planet, and that the killing in northeastern Nigeria is a crime against humanity and must be addressed. This is what they were saying back in August when 60 nations were assembled to fight ISIS: “There is no contain policy for ISIL,” Secretary of State John Kerry said ahead of his and Hagel’s meeting with NATO allies, using the name for ISIS the government prefers. “They’re an ambitious, avowed genocidal, territorial-grabbing, Caliphate-desiring, quasi state within a regular army. And leaving them in some capacity intact anywhere would leave a cancer in place that will ultimately come back to haunt us. So there is no issue in our minds about our determination to build this coalition, go after this.” After the meeting, Hagel and Kerry issued a joint statement laying out just what the newly minted coalition plans on doing against ISIS, including providing military support to Iraq, stopping the flow of foreign fighters that seek to join ISIS, countering ISIS’ financing, and addressing the humanitarian crisis that the group has spawned. With the countries named on deck, and the list likely to grow as the Gulf states announce just how they plan on supporting this countering of ISIS, the 2014 version of the “coalition of the willing” is looking far more robust than its 2003 counterpart. What you see here is a massive doubling of what the war against ISIS is producing: global unity against a common enemy the US has worked very hard to incubate. The caliphate builders are spreading out, and right behind them come the unity builders.... How does a global humanitarian unity empire cover the globe?... with the grease of a common enemy. It is literally happening right before your eyes...they are coming against every boundary...every fortress that has kept the nations divided for 5,000 years...with the help of a foreign God...one their fathers never knew: Daniel 11:37-39 He shall regard neither the God of his fathers nor the desire of women, nor regard any god; for he shall exalt himself above them all. 38 But in their place he shall honor a god of fortresses; and a god which his fathers did not know he shall honor with gold and silver, with precious stones and pleasant things. 39 Thus he shall act against the strongest fortresses with a foreign god, which he shall acknowledge, and advance its glory; and he shall cause them to rule over many, and divide the land for gain.
