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.
Just give them arms and let them fight for themselves
Agreed...they tried it with Syria but with workout so fast there was time for a backlash. Can’t expect the same mistake twice...oh wait, these are socialists....
He already conquered AZ. Our once-bulldogish governorette became a lap-poodle when she signed on to received the cursed medicaid subsidies and signed on not to oppose obamacare. That followed lawsuits and prosecutions against our state for having the audacity to try to enforce border sovereignty.
The dumbass fired all his generals. No wars here!!!
lol
“Theres always South Carolina.”
Boring. With his polls plunging, Barry needs something more exotic. Take Baluchistan, home to Zoroaster in 7000 BC. At this moment the Baluchis are under the yoke of Pakistan, who hates Obama anyway for his hit on Bin Laden. So let’s rub it in some more.
Obama and a company of Marines can push Baluchistan back into the Zoroastrian fold, no problem, and he would be forever known as Battling Barry, Scourge of the Baluchies.
Just trying to help.
LOL! Somehow I needed that.
I bet Obama could give a really moving surrender speech.
NO body gives a crap about sudan, south sudan or all of freaken africa.
Any military involvement there is simply to wag the dog.
