Poor America, here they have no congressional leadership to end this, boner was in the tank on Libya, which was suppose to have ended September 27th. Boner, cantor, Ryan, fiddle while the Constitution burns. Boner and his friend will probably fly to California for a golf game.

Any question about where Obama’s religious/political allegiances are? I would also be interested to know what the ethnic breakdown of this group of 100 is. How many Muslim soldiers are in this group? Obama, given the chance, will be committing the same sorts of crime domestically against the citizenry.

I’m being REAL nice when I say we have no business there.

Briefly: LRA are Pagan kooks, and screwballs under the guise of Christian religious purpose, and the Ugandans are supporting Leftist insurrection in the region. There are NO GOOD GUYS, but above all there isn’t an iota of interest to the U.S.. I suspect this is some more UN ‘stuff’ Obama is getting us into.

We have no business involving ourselves in this any way, shape of form.

Africa has to either stand or fall on its own. ALL sides in Africa are ‘questionable’. We look at mugabe and allow him to pillage, plunder, starve, and murder his people. What Africa has always had are overseers. They NEED to not be overlorded and let them evolve into the 21st century.
Unfortunately for them AND us, other countries will not allow this to happen. Africa is wealthy beyomd belief. They aren’t allowed to KEEP any of it. The continent has been raped. But there is no moral middle when you choose one evil over another. And in this case, that is what has happened.

Boehner and McConnell both should be front and center in opposition to this move. This guy, Obama, is not acting in the interests of this country.

The GOP cannot be depended on to save this country.

And any Republican patriot that comes along to try are strangled in their political cribs by the party.

They may be "very bad news". I know from recent history that Muslim forces in Africa are "very bad news" for anyone who is not a Muslim. Mostly, I don't care.

However, I do care about WHY we are becoming involved in a religious war in Uganda. Why?

According to Michelle Malkin, Sen. James Inhofe has been "spearheading" involvement by our military.

It figures.

The GOP is dead, they just don’t know it yet.

Obama should have his speech writers write an eloquent speech. In his best court room demeanor and with all his little rhetorical and psychological games he could appear in control and give this speech impressing all those watching it.

After all, Obama told us in 2008 that he can talk us out of all these conflicts with greater “dialog and negotiations.” lol

The mission and environment sounds suspiciously like a mercenary deployment. Maybe Zero’s fundraising is getting more creative here?

"Don’t let the Christianity thing fool you."

I read the same thing at Wikipedia. It also said:

"During its brief alliance with the Muslim country of Sudan it also claimed to be Islamic as well, an apparent contradiction."

The leader of this group thinks he is a “prophet” annointed by the Holy Spirit, and has come up with his own religion, which is a mixture of Pentecostalism, native pagan religions, and strange things he has dreamed up himself. It is most definitely NOT Christian, and while the objects of its attacks are frequently Muslims, that’s because it started out attacking the (mostly Muslim) government, and because there are tribal overtones to everything in Africa, has gone on attacking the various tribes involved in the government. However, I think it has also raided Christian missions, killed Christians (both Protestant and Catholic) and kidnaps children for use as fighters or for sexual purposes. The Muslims do this too, so it’s nothing rare in that part of the world, but it certainly disqualified the LRA as Christian!

However, I would say that Obama got an appeal from the Muslims in the government there and he’s coming through for his homies by sending what he clearly regards as his personal squad of enforcers, the US military, without any prior consultation with anyone or any prior appeal to US public opinion or support. This is very dangerous.

I remember reading that just after the inauguration, someone told him he was now the Commander in Chief, and he asked if this meant that the military had to do whatever they told him to do, and then said “pretty cool” when he found out. He’s a disgusting sack of stuff that should not be in charge of our forces.

Anybody who believes he can take unilateral action to execute people by predator drones without due process, or to commit a country to war without Congressional authorization is no better than a self-procalimed messenger from God who does such things himself.

My guess is that they use this as an excuse to bring 50k African refugees here.

“...then went out with a Bible in one hand and an AK-47 in the other...”

That’s my kind of Christian...not some “turn the other cheek” while people are raped and murdered.
