Obama's Drones in Niger - Mali Crisis 2

Guardian: Reports on a agreement between the US and Niger to place US drones in Niger, the article notes the following, " ..US only currently desires surveillance drones to be deployed to Niger though the agreement could pave the way for more aggressive armed drones in the future. ". 

Lets Get Real: 

Thus West Africa is the new battle ground between the West and Al Qaeda terror networks, the use of drones has been very effective in Afghanistan and Pakistan, even if innocent people have been killed, the question is how long before UK and US Special Forces have to be placed on the ground,  drones can only do so much folks.    The terrorists have a lot of space to hide, so one day in the near future it will not surprise this blog to hear that UK and US Soldiers and fighting and getting killed in West Africa.    The growth of a franchise Al Qaeda has been a major failure of the Bush 43 and Obama years,  this battle will take years folks, and as Mali shows a Crisis can develop out of nowhere, even this blog had to find out about Mali, it was not on this blog's map of future crisis points, thus far we have seen French, UK and now the US one way or another getting caught up in the fight, lets hope UK and US Soldiers do not have to die for French mistakes.
