Uh Folks, the Lord’s Resistance Army are not Christians. Look it up. Joseph Kony is its leader. The day someone takes him out is the day there will be cause for celebration in all of central Africa. Don’t disseminate wrong information.

I do not have much intel on the LRA, but I was merely suggesting that sending troops into Africa, without a very specific mission, is BEGGING for trouble. Mission creep occurs with frightening regularity and, with a politically troubled moron like we have in office right now (Somebody call AttackWatch.com!!!) we might have another really bad situation develop.

Furthermore, I have seen US citizens killed by Hamas and all Obama does is play footsie with them!

From Wikipedia...

The Lord’s Resistance Army (also Lord’s Resistance Movement or Lakwena Part Two) is a sectarian religious and military group, which operated in northern Uganda and Southern Sudan.

The group was formed in 1987 and until about 2007 it was engaged in an armed rebellion against the Ugandan government. It is led by Joseph Kony, who proclaims himself the “spokesperson” of God and a spirit medium, primarily of the Holy Spirit, which the group believe can represent itself in many manifestations.[4]

The group is based on apocalyptic Protestant Christianity,[5][6][7][8][9][10][11] but also is influenced[12] by a blend of mysticism[13] and traditional religion,[14] and claims to be establishing a theocratic state based on the Ten Commandments and local Acholi tradition.[4][15][16]

The LRA is accused of widespread human rights violations, including murder, abduction, mutilation, sexual enslavement of women and children and forcing children to participate in hostilities.[17]

The LRA used to operate mainly in northern Uganda and also in parts of South Sudan, Central African Republic and DR Congo.[18][19] The LRA is currently proscribed as a terrorist organization by the United States.[20][21]

In October 2011 President Barack Obama ordered the deployment of 100 U.S. troops to help hunt down the leaders of the Lord’s Resistance Army.[22]
