Uganda? Seriously?

When is the Nobel committee gonna come reclaim that medal from Mr. 5 Wars And Counting?

Uganda, Iran, who's next? Notice how quick they try to turn our attention away from the gun smuggling and drug dealing they've been caught with? Last one was when Bin Laden ended up dead within days of Obama releasing the "official" birth certificate that supposedly did not exsist in the 1st place. Then they just dump the biggest most wanted man in the ocean??? These jerks get caught with something fishy and out of the blue a crisis arises. If memory serves me back in Sept. 2001 trillions were found missing and the administration was on the hot seat. Days later we have one of the biggest terror attacks in history and the trillions and it's investigation all went away. Whatever one's view might be on some of the above you have to see the pattern here. Probably all just a coincidence............blah blah blah! :wallbash:

People wonder how people come up with all these so-called conspiracy theories? Pfft! They just suck really bad at their slight of hand games anymore.

Congress passed a law eariler this year which stated that elmiination of the Lord's Resistance Army was official US policy.

I was wrong. There was legislation signed. Thanks for forcing me to do my homework better ;)
Following introduction in May 2009 by Senator Russ Feingold (D-WI), Senator Sam Brownback (R-KS), Representative Jim McGovern (D-MA), Representative Ed Royce (R-CA) and Representative Brad Miller (D-NC), the bill gained an average of 20 cosponsors a month until passage the next year. The bill passed unanimously in the Senate on March 11th, 2010 with 65 Senators as cosponsors, then passed unanimously in the House of Representatives on May 13th, 2010 with 202 Representatives as cosponsors. These 267 Members of Congress helped bring to the President's desk the most widely cosponsored bill Africa-related piece of legislation in the last 37 years, or as far back as electronic records document.

One has to wonder what the hell they were thinking, but passing that bill was probably prerequisite to providing monetary aid to the none-too-savory governments that are being harassed by this group of nihilists.

Somebody forgot to put in the line requiring the President to seek additional approval from Congress prior to undertaking direct military action, looks like.

Africa... somebody should just ring that place with a minefield and antiaircraft guns, slam the door, and let it sort itself out absent any outside influence for about 100 years.

“These forces will act as advisors to partner forces that have the goal of removing from the battlefield Joseph Kony and other senior leadership of the LRA,” Obama said, but warned they would not lead the fighting themselves.

“Although the US forces are combat-equipped, they will only be providing information, advice, and assistance to partner nation forces.
A small force of military advisers who will not be directly involved in combat ops. Haven't we done this before? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vietnam_War)
