With the failures of Obama, it is time to find a military conflict

As most Americans are planning for this week's Christmas Celebration, it seems the Obama Administration has found itself a nice little military conflict to get us involved in with the possible hope of deflecting from the failures that is Obamacare.

CBS Evening News tonight reported that more than 120 U.S. troops station in Spain are heading for the African Nation of Djibouti to help with the possible evacuation of U.S. Embassy Personnel from the nation of Southern Sudan, which has been in the grips of a civil war for months now. Last week 4 U.S. Military Personnel were wounded as their V-22 came under ground fire from rebel forces, just one day after a U.N. Helicopter was downed by rebel ground fire in the same area.

It seems suspect to me that Africa Command would deploy 2 V-22 into a hot L.Z. with possibility of hostile ground fire, but with no close in air support such as Harriers or Cobra Helicopter Gunship, of which all have been upgraded over the last decade to work in connection with the V-22.

I believe once the Christmas Holidays has passed, we will be hearing more about Southern Sudan and less about the failures of Obama, if the lapdog media has anything to do with it. Another shiny object for the majority to focus in on in my opinion.

There is no place in the world where we need to be less than central Africa. Sub Saharan wars have a savage brutality that can’t be matched.

And now that he has purged the military of most of the leadership that might say “no”, he will get away with engaging our military in yet another conflict that we don’t belong in.

There’s always South Carolina. They’ve been uppity lately. And it worked out pretty well last time.

The movie “Wag The Dog” comes to mind.

Yup....Southern Sudan....EXCEPT....heard it was mostly Christian...so he might just be the watchful eye of the killing of Christians.

I think they have identified two candidates in Africa, Sudan and Central African Republic.

Zero feeling frisky? Give his hindness an M4 with 3 mags each loaded with NY-approved 7 rounds of “Green Ammo.” Since Paul Ryan has shown his disdain for the military and disabled vets, outfit him as above and “insert” both via a 0200 HALO drop.

From what I can tell, the present fighting is mostly Christian vs. Christian.

I worry you are correct.

But Obamacare MUST be repealed in 2014!

probably true, but also that he will find a way to help the Muslims in their genocide instead of their victims
