President Obama has deployed combat troops to central Africa to aid in the fight against the Lord's Resistance Army. In a letter to Speaker of the House John Boehner, Obama says 12 troops with "appropriate combat equipment" were deployed on October 12 and approximately 100 in total will be deployed including a second combat team and headquarters, communications and logistics personnel. The forces will provide information and advise and assist "select partner nation forces," Obama explains. The troops will not fight except in self-defense. The full letter is after the jump.

“The troops will not fight except in self-defense.”
Great, send them over to be targets. We’ll never learn.

Her reply was BHO means well

Will the Republicans fight this? How many wars will Obama single-handedly start or involve the USA in?

Well, I’ve said a few times here that with Obama I half-expect him to start eating babies when he finally consolidates his power like Dictator-for-Life, Emporer Idi Amin DaDa....drum roll.....only now he’s setting up his retirement home, I guess. Dictator-for-Life Emporer Barak ‘Idi Amin’ Hussein DaDa....

Central Africa is not a place you want to send forces to. The place is probably ten times worse than Vietnam.

He’s quite the warmonger. I heard he bought a ranch in Texas, and also has taken up duck hunting.

The Lord’s Resistance Army are Christians who are fighting against the Muslims and corrupt regimes. They number about 500. Obama is sending troops to eradicate them according to this story.
To: Berlin_Freeper
The forces will provide information and advise and assist "select partner nation forces," Obama explains. The troops will not fight except in self-defense. Sounds reasonable. What could possibly go wrong?
