It's that Mali thing again ... no doubt those of who take an interest in what's happening in this screwed up world of ours, have noticed that British forces are on their way to Mali. And Canadians were informed today that Canadian special forces are on their way to (or are already in) Mali. Joint Task Force 2 soldiers are in Mali to, officially
, protect Canadian assets in Mali
As far as I know these assets are: One embassy, and one RCAF heavy lifter. Even the talking heads are questioning why one would send elite special forces troops to guard a building and an airplane
A few guys from the City of Moose Jaw P. D. could do that job. JTF 2 is so secretive that even they don't know who they are. Oh, and another $13 million in aid for Mali. The US has agreed to mid-air refuelling French planes. All the ususal suspects seem to be getting involved. Maybe they've given up on the Taliban and chosen an enemy even the French can push around.
Something is, I believe, going on behind the scenes. Free access to information about what our governments are doing is limited ... or it is possible that the Western allies are taking the threat from militant Islam very seriously; as seriously as some of us would like them to take it.
