Anything, anywhere, as long as it doesn’t help Americans at home.

Creative way Obama can highlight perceived US guilt.

I’m sorry, is it just me?
In 40 years, the people (and government) of Laos hasn’t bothered to go clear the land of these unexploded bombs and they’re still whining for us to clean them up for them?
I mean, REALLY?
[Expletive deleted]
Does this mean that Germany is going to inspect all of the UK to find the unexploded ordinance from WWII?
Seriously, I don’t want some kids digging bean holes (or whatever the heck they farm there) hitting a bomblet and dying. And I’ve never been there. I can’t imagine living in that country and some supposed statistic that 400 people a year dying from these things, supposedly 40% of them ‘children’.
Get off your damn collective rumps and FIX THE PROBLEM, Laos. You want money for it, go sue everyone in the world court, but fix the problem first.

Sounds like just another Obama redistribution of whatever American wealth is left to whatever non American country he feels like giving it to.

Let the Viet Cong pay for it.Sure, total up the cost after the cleanup is done. Then figure out who has to pay for it. 40 years, I just can't imagine the utter laziness and contempt for human life that persists in Asia that would let these things stay in the ground without doing something about it.

Make Commie China pay for it. Or Cuba. Or Mexico if they won’t pay for The Wall.

Don’t really care who eventually ends up paying for it (oh, who am I fooling? We’re paying for it..) Just aghast at the entire concept of a country sitting on their collective rumps and NOT cleaning up the land, waiting for someone else to do it.

"Obama to push to clear leftover Vietnam-era bombs
Good idea. Send comrade obama to Laos with a metal detector. They have a a "shovel-ready" job waiting for him.
To: BenLurkin
Ship migrants over there to hand dig up ordnance and then have them lob it over the fence into Vietnam.

Does this mean that Germany is going to inspect all of the UK to find the unexploded ordinance from WWII? Is the U.S. also going to go clear the UXB's from Germany and Japan?

This is just another leftist “america-bad” pipe dream.
The bombs are left in the ground for the same reason that we entomb asbestos. Just leave it alone.
Locals know where the big bombs are, and animals take care of the small ones.
Wait until Obummer offers free medical care for anyone “affected” medically by the war.
He will just raise taxes on the rich to pay for it...
