Nonsense... the information has been out there if you looked for it. John McCain should read the fucking newspapers. There is an al-queda group known as Al-Queda in the Maghreb active in the Sahara. A few years ago, they took over the northern half of Mali, including the town of Timbuktu. The French sent in a few thousand legionnaires to drive them out with U.S. logistical support. That's when we started operating drones out of a base in western Niger to track and kill the cockroaches.
I'm sure there is a wikipedia page on this. The NYT covered it well at the time. Do some fucking homework. This is why you are so clueless on foreign policy.
