Central African Republic is now a failed state. The Muslim rebels (Muslims make up 15% of the population) toppled the corrupt government with help from a lot of foreign fighters from Chad and Sudan. The new "president" disbanded the rebels so they headed out into the countryside and began mass murdering Christian villages. The locals and former government supporters have formed militias to protect themselves and retaliate.

We have/had 100 special forces operators in CAR hunting the Lord's Resistance Army. The Pentagon has been very mum about them since the government fell back in March. France has a lot of interest in the mineral wealth of this country, thus their heavy troop presence. It wouldn't hurt to keep an eye on this one in case we get dragged into it somehow.

Another massacre started by Muslims for the media to ignore.

So so sad. America playing second fiddle to France.

We used to make fun of the French for only using their rifles to hold up white flags.

So if they are now a world leader, just what does that make us?

And the low information crowd could care less that the world is falling apart all around us, and that we are falling apart from within.

I must give special thanks to the Democrat party.
