Well, good luck fighting The Lord’s Army!
The Obama fellow is quite the war monger isn’t he?
Joseph Kony is a monster - but this is a misuse of our precious warriors.
What a complete fool and idiot. He has effectively condemned 100 brave Americans to death in the jungles of Africa. Mega-Moron!!
Let me first state what I understand to be your position. It is, that if it shall become necessary, to repel invasion, the President may, without violation of the Constitution, cross the line and invade the territory of another country; and that whether such necessity exists in any given case, the President is to be the sole judge. .. But : Allow the President to invade a neighboring nation, whenever he shall deem it necessary to repel an invasion, and you allow him to do so, whenever he may choose to say he deems it necessary for such purpose - and allow him to make war at pleasure . If, to-day, he should choose to say he thinks it necessary to invade Canada, to prevent the British from invading us, how could you stop him? You may say to him, I see no probability of the British invading us but he will say to you be silent; I see it, if you don't.The provision of the Constitution giving the war-making power to Congress, was dictated, as I understand it, by the following reasons. Kings had always been involving and impoverishing their people in wars, pretending generally, if not always, that the good of the people was the object. This our Convention understood to be the most oppressive of all Kingly oppressions; and they resolved to so frame the Constitution that no one man should hold the power of bringing this oppression upon us. But your view destroys the whole matter, and places our President where kings have always stood. - Rep. Abraham Lincoln (R-IL)
Just why in the hell are we placing our troops in danger in a third world cesspool when there are plenty of nations in Africa capable of doing that job?
Congress needs to give this Moron acting as President a deadline to get those troops out of there.This mission is not in the national interests of the United States anymore than the fiasco in Egypt or Libya for that matter.
The president made this announcement in a letter to House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, Friday afternoon
*******************
And what does Boehner say/do? ....waiting....
100 combat-equipped U.S. forces to help regional forces
Translation.....100 members of the Special Operations Community, probably Army Special Forces, given that one of their main task’s is Foreign Internal Defense. To go and solve someone else’s problem. Hmmmmmm!!!!!
Another translation....lets send 100 highly trained and experienced men to a true 3rd World country in every sense, to seek out and kill what is nothing but a bunch of unskilled, untrained, Khat eating savages. I work around Ugandans all day, every day. If people knew and acknowledged what their society is like, from what I’ve seen, they wouldn’t send anyone.
But we’re afraid to take on the Iranians, Russians and China in their support of the carnage in Syria. Of course, once the GI’s are done, with this guys head on a stick, it’ll be.....I AIN’T AFRAID TO USE OUR MILITARY. I AIN’T NO APPEASER.
I’m sure the Code Pink gals will be protesting any time now ...
Enough to get killed, not enough to really win.
Just like every other American "war" in the last fifty years.
Two weeks after winning a Nobel Peace Prize, this bozo sends 30,000 additional troops to Afghanistan, sends troops and drones into Pakistan, Libya, Iran, Somalia, Yemen and now this...
Warmonger!
Where is Code Pink?
