Obama Versus The Lord’s Resistance Army!

Where, exactly, is the threat to the National Security of the United States in, uh, Uganda?

Maybe its just my natural paranoia, or, it could be that after nearly three full years of watching Obama’s slight of hand, and misdirection of America’s attention, I suspect something more going on than we are led to believe.

Now we are learning that US troops are already on the ground in Uganda, AND, will (according to an ABC News report) ultimately go to South Sudan, the Central African Republic, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, with the permission of those countries.

If my math is correct, the US is now currently engaged in military actions in four countries… simultaneously. If, and when, the US troops move across the borders in Africa, we will have military operations in not four, but SEVEN countries.

Is Obama now on a crusade to save the “dark continent?” What’s really going on … I mean besides Obama sucking up to leftists bleeding heart groups that will not accept that no one can save Africa but AFRICA!

Obama says: “although the U.S. forces are combat-equipped, they will only be providing information, advice, and assistance to partner nation forces, and they will not themselves engage LRA forces unless necessary for self-defense.” Uh-huh.

Can you say VIETNAM???

Is the average age of Americans now so young that we must deduce that America no longer remembers the colossal mistake, humongous blunder, in Vietnam that cost the lives of over 50,000 US servicemen and women? In the event that you do not remember… THIS is the way it began.

The whole point for the creation of Special Forces back in the 60s was to go into foreign countries and train up local fighters. Sounds like they’re doing that job here. Also, Uganda has provided troops for the proxy war in Somalia and does expect us to repay them in some way. And stop this LRA are Christian Freedom fighters crap.

The LRA are bad dudes. Christians don’t kidnap children and force them to be soldiers in their army.

All Barry did was send in a Special Forces company, which Congress asked him to do a year and a half ago. They will help train and organize the locals to fight those thugs.

That's how Vietnam started....then you had to send in troops to protect the advisors...and then send in more troops to protect the troops that protect the advisors.....you see where I'm going here?

[chargers fan]

Unfortunately a lot of people on this site have a knee jerk reaction to it and think the LRA must be Christian and freedom fighters because Obama is against them.

[colorado tanker]

Nobody is supporting sending large numbers of troops to fight the LRA. They don't fit in any struggle for global power, not capitalism vs. socialism or western democracy vs. islamism. They're just some local thugs. So, this won't be another Vietnam.
