Many of these countries forcibly enlist child soldiers. Obama not only sanctions this, but also he is now using American tax dollars to finance it. The Post-American Presidency: The Obama Administration's War on America.

While the left is doing its best to damage Mitt Romney because he doesnt bring his garbage man Gatorades, the CEO of ObamaPhone, Inc. is now shoveling money to countries that arm children and put them on the front lines.
From WhiteHouse.gov:

You read that right. It wasnt enough to allow thousands of weapons to travel across the border so they could be used by drug cartels. Now this president is giving money to countries with child soldiers.
Unreal.
I read about this a few days ago.
Of course the MSM is MIA.
