WASHINGTON -- In a move criticized by human rights organizations, the Obama administration has decided to exempt Yemen and three other countries that use child soldiers from U.S. penalties under the 2008 Child Soldiers Prevention Act.

In a memorandum to Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, President Barack Obama said he had determined that "it is in the national interest of the United States" to waive application of the law to Chad, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Sudan and Yemen. He instructed Clinton to submit the decision to the Congress with a written justification for the move.

Best comment at the article:

“Looks like we drove into the moral ditch”

This is unconscionable. Obama is following an evil path.

Leftists just want those young lives destroyed. It’s what they do.

I cannot wait to hear Olbermann’s “Special Comment” on this/sarc

[sinanju]

Yeah, but if he also waives the minimum wage, thar’s a goin’ to be trouble!

There ought to be at least as much money in killing as in flipping burgers.

Unfricken real.......

Well, our so-called illegal alien president doesn’t mind if we let a newborn die of exposure if the “mother” doesn’t want the baby (you can put “it” in a medical waste container), so it’s no surprise that this monster who lives in our White House would look the other way.

The end result of children, to this monster, is whatever suits the moment: ruthlessly kill them before they’re born, just after they’re born, and now it’s ok to let them be used as military fodder.

Nobama and Hitlery have so much in common that it stinks.

Can’t see Hillary complying with this. She’s not THAT evil.

[Obadiah]

The article doesn't list the other countries Obama will give a pass to, but I strongly suspect that these other countries will share a common denominator with Yemen.

(hint: each of the countries, like Yemen, will be dominantly Muslim)

[tillacum]

He is a very dangerous man.

[blackdog]

Common denominator, or common detonator?

[Venturer]

Just a guess, but these countries wouldnt happen to be either Black or Muslim countries would they?

[rickb308]

This would be a good thing to use if she does and she tries to run for POTUS.

[hampdenkid]

With the countries involved, it is not at all surprising. We must remember that in Obama’s jaundiced eyes, “people of color” who threw off the “yoke” of colonialism can do no wrong. He is a very sick man.

[dforest]

I suspect Obozo wants to make some American youths citizen soldiers for Obozo.

He likes to get those newly indoctrinated “youts” working for him.

“Just a guess, but these countries wouldnt happen to be either Black or Muslim countries would they?”

Guess I should tippy toe by this article but guess I won't; way back in the day while in the Vietnamese highlands, we (U.S. Army) utilized Montagnards and Chinese Nungs quite frequently for some of our deepest LRRP's and insurgencies. Many of these troopers were very young, early teens for sure. Great fighters and absolutely trustworthy - unlike the Annamese...
