After President Barack Obama announced earlier this week that he would be sending American troops into Uganda, WND uncovered billionaire activist George Soros' ties both to the political pressure behind the decision and to the African nation's fledgling oil industry.
Soros sits on the executive board of an influential "crisis management organization" that recently recommended the U.S. deploy a special advisory military team to Uganda to help with operations and run an intelligence platform, a recommendation Obama's action seems to fulfill.
The president emeritus of that organization, the International Crisis Group, is also the principal author of "Responsibility to Protect," the military doctrine used by Obama to justify the U.S.-led NATO campaign in Libya.
Soros' own Open Society Institute is one of only three nongovernmental funders of the Global Centre for Responsibility to Protect, a doctrine that has been cited many times by activists urging intervention in Uganda.
Authors and advisers of the Responsibility to Protect doctrine, including a center founded and led by Samantha Power, the National Security Council special adviser to Obama on human rights, also helped to found the International Criminal Court.
Several of the doctrine's main founders also sit on boards with Soros, who is a major proponent of the doctrine.

We could produce most of the oil we need if the feds would only permit it. Maybe we'll get a repub house, senate , and pres and then it might happen.
He doesn’t care about the military and sending that few all they will be in cannon fodder...I wonder the % of white to black soldiers...not insulting our black military, just the racist obama....
It was either Kennedy or Eisenhower that put observers there.............But kennedy increased the # and they were not just observers....
Cain not be of the political class is a big plus for many conservative...
Your lips to God’s ear.
Obama is to blame. Sonderkommando Soros’ influence will be over when he’s dead, and he’s very old. Thanks cruise_missile.
Some scientists have been saying that for quite some time now. Just google abiotic oil. They make a very compelling argument. Then there's also those lakes of methane on Saturn's moon Titan, and hydrocarbons in Jupiter's atmosphere. The evidence may be there, they may just be 'conveniently' ignoring it.
The same place the Arabs would be if we shut off grain supplies. But we can start drilling for oil here. Let see them sandfleas try and grow wheat and corn in the sandbox.
Food as a weapon is nearly as deadly as using oil as a weapon...
Good heavens, man, don’t you realize there is a punctuation shortage?
I feel that Soros/Obama/Holder will do whatever it takes to suspend the elections if they foresee a loss next year.
Many good Americans are too infected with normalcy bias to admit that is even a possibility.
Thanks for the post; thanks for the OUTSTANDING commentary. BTTT!
Sending our troops there is just giving the bad guys more target practice. It’s a big deal for those loved ones coming home in a box. We don’t need to be in Africa or Afghanistan.
Is this a kinetic military action, too?
What is it if the troops are already in motion? Is it still kinetic?
You do know the term “kinetic” is actually used by the military, right?
Or does it become "No targeted assassination of a rebel leader who stands in the way of developing oil in a small third world nation from the government we bought and if they know what’s good for them they will stay bought or we will whip up an Arab Spring on their a$$".
Actually this type olfaction is supported by congressional action. It was passed quite a while ago.
Perfectly legal, it the bad guys are really horrible. Not quite a national interest, but legal.
I still think it sucks.
We had that already, and we didn't get it.
Yosemitest...they aren’t Christians...they are brutal beasts who ravage the country...kill children and mutilate their bodies believing this will bring them wealth. The atrocities their leader orders makes Saddam look like a kitten... Just to make that clear they are not a Christian group.
Even so the neighboring countries should be taking these miltants out...not the USA.
