I remember the early Dino Babers days with Sean Lewis running the offense at Syracuse. We didn't have good players, by and large, but things were fun to watch.

Sec Def Pete Hegseth stmt: "Today, at the direction of President Trump, the Department of War carried out a lethal kinetic strike on another narco-trafficking vessel operated by a Designated Terrorist Organization (DTO) in the Caribbean. 

This vesselβ€”like EVERY OTHERβ€”was known by our intelligence to be involved in illicit narcotics smuggling, was transiting along a known narco-trafficking route, and carrying narcotics. Three male narco-terrorists were aboard the vessel during the strike, which was conducted in international waters. All three terrorists were killed, and no U.S. forces were harmed in this strike.

These narco-terrorists are bringing drugs to our shores to poison Americans at homeβ€”and they will not succeed. The Department will treat them EXACTLY how we treated Al-Qaeda. We will continue to track them, map them, hunt them, and kill them."

Trump stmt: "If the Nigerian Government continues to allow the killing of Christians, the U.S.A. will immediately stop all aid and assistance to Nigeria, and may very well go into that now disgraced country, 'guns-a-blazing,' to completely wipe out the Islamic Terrorists who are committing these horrible atrocities. I am hereby instructing our Department of War to prepare for possible action. If we attack, it will be fast, vicious, and sweet, just like the terrorist thugs attack our CHERISHED Christians! WARNING: THE NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT BETTER MOVE FAST!"

BREAKING
#Trump issues stmt threatening to enter #Nigeria "'guns-a-blazing,' to completely wipe out the Islamic Terrorists" as well as immediately cease "aid and assistance" to Nigeria because Trump alleges Nigeria's gov't is "allow[ing] the killing of Christians."
