Default Obama: Invades Uganda

Obama orders U.S. troops to help chase down African 'army' leader - CNN.com

By the CNN Wire Staff
updated 9:10 PM EST, Fri October 14, 2011


Washington (CNN) -- President Barack Obama is sending about 100 U.S. troops to Africa to help hunt down the leaders of the notoriously violent Lord's Resistance Army in and around Uganda.

"I have authorized a small number of combat-equipped U.S. forces to deploy to central Africa to provide assistance to regional forces that are working toward the removal of Joseph Kony from the battlefield," Obama said in letter sent Friday to House Speaker John Boehner and Daniel Inouye, the president pro tempore of the Senate. Kony is the head of the Lord's Resistance Army.

U.S. military personnel advising regional forces working to target Kony and other senior leaders will not engage Kony's forces "unless necessary for self-defense," Obama said.

"I believe that deploying these U.S. armed forces furthers U.S. national security interests and foreign policy and will be a significant contribution toward counter-LRA efforts in central Africa."

Obama noted that the group "has murdered, raped, and kidnapped tens of thousands of men, women and children in central Africa" and "continues to commit atrocities across the Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and South Sudan that have a disproportionate impact on regional security."

Does Obama hold the record for the most wars at once?

I don't think 100 troops constitutes an invasion or a war.

I personally would prefer our troops support regional efforts to protect people from attempted genocide and rape, such as is happening in Africa, rather than trying to protect or acquire oil. But this is the wrong response and way too late.

That is what was said in the 50's about Vietnam.

Would you say the same thing if 100 German troops were in Louisiana engaging in military conflict?

Is there a terrorist group running around in Louisiana kidnapping kids, having them kill their parents and other villagers and using them as fighters for their deranged fundamentalist army that terrorises Louisiana and all the neighbouring states?

Your trolling is so predictable, are you sure you're not a robot?

Pay attention please. These brownblack people are being killed by other brownblack people.

Not sure if I approve with sending those soldiers, but that's the context.

Mostly white? Are you sure? I think a pretty large amount of your cannon fodder isn't.

Anyway, happy trolling, I need to remind myself from time to time that there is really no point in interacting with you. I stand reminded.

How about that, it is for oil after all.

Kenyans and Ugandans have been enemies for a long time. That's why there's a border between them. Keyan Muslim vs Ugandan Christian. Who to choose if you're on the right?

Huh?

About 10% of Kenyans are Muslim. Yes, there's a huge mosque in the middle of Nairobi and the muezzins can disturb your lunch, but most of Kenya is Christian.

Can't be. Rush told us a Muslim Kenyan was elected president. Now a Muslim Kenyan US president is siding with Muslims in Sudan against Ugandan Christians.

I seriously doubt that small of a percentage of Muslim Kenyans could get a Manchurian candidate like Obama elected US president to fulfill their plan at annihilating the African Christians. They are probably secretly muslim kenyans pretending to be christians to throw us off track.

p.s. My brain hurts trying to think up that much conspiracy shit. No wonder conspiracy nuts are crazy.
