After President Barack Obama announced earlier this week that he would be sending American troops into Uganda, WND uncovered billionaire activist George Soros' ties both to the political pressure behind the decision and to the African nation's fledgling oil industry.
Soros sits on the executive board of an influential "crisis management organization" that recently recommended the U.S. deploy a special advisory military team to Uganda to help with operations and run an intelligence platform, a recommendation Obama's action seems to fulfill.
The president emeritus of that organization, the International Crisis Group, is also the principal author of "Responsibility to Protect," the military doctrine used by Obama to justify the U.S.-led NATO campaign in Libya.
Soros' own Open Society Institute is one of only three nongovernmental funders of the Global Centre for Responsibility to Protect, a doctrine that has been cited many times by activists urging intervention in Uganda.
Authors and advisers of the Responsibility to Protect doctrine, including a center founded and led by Samantha Power, the National Security Council special adviser to Obama on human rights, also helped to found the International Criminal Court.
Several of the doctrine's main founders also sit on boards with Soros, who is a major proponent of the doctrine.

Yes, I’ve heard the Commander in Chief and his staff use the term to define the Military action in Libya as that kinetic military action.
No matter who uses the term, the purpose for the term is to obscure that it is war.
We can bastardize the language if we want to but I will use terminology that I understand.
This is NOT a National crisis, in our interests!
Obama will do anything to help BLACKS anywhere around the world so that the ones here at home have no doubt that he fighting “the man” anywhere in the world that BLACKS have problems....even their far removed relatives in foreign countries.
By the way, I hope all of you are watching TV and enjoying the HATE WHITEY fest going on today.
Obama, what a hero. Hell, he even trashes the Constitution because this scenario is so important. He needs the votes for 2012.
You are absolutely correct in what you say.
We have been undergoing a covert revolution since the late 60’s in both public and higher education with the goal to transform our nation from one based upon the Constitution and freedom to that of either a dictatorship or a Socialist/Communist society based upon Marxism.
Through time the family structure has been decimated, freedoms stripped through the legal system and government decrees, and individual responsibility completely trounced.
I fear an armed revolution is close at hand in the near future, and with that, the end of a unified Unites States of America.

This isn't Jupiter or Titan, in case you had missed that. Different planet, different circumstances. If there was all this 'free' abiotic never-runs-out oil, I can guarantee you there would be a lot fewer, and much older oil wells out here, and they'd produce forever.
Never said I was 100% convinced of abiotic oil. I'm just saying they make a compelling argument. I'd like to hear and study both sides rather than just accept 'facts' from one group who has a vested interest in fossil based fuel. I feel the argument is not that different than what's playing out with the Global Warming nonsense. Here's a good link that presents both sides of abiotic oil:
Jed, I’m a geologist who has been working in the oil industry for 33 years. We’re always looking for the next great oil field—for us it can mean a comfortable retirement. The only prospects drilled on the basis of abiotic oil that I have heard of only produced money from the investors, not any oil or even natural gas.
The LRA is NOT the NVA.
Joseph Kony (if he’s still alive) is NOT Ho Chi Minh.
Kony & the LRA are evil, sick, disgusting vermin who should have been eliminated 20 years ago. For decades, I’ve been hoping either the US or Great Britain would send in SEALS, Special Forces, SAS or just “Gibbs” and his “Kate” and start knocking off the LRA leadership, starting with the oldest, but not hurting any of the kids they have turned onto cold sadistic killers.
About time. Better late than never.
“religious beliefs he created the Uganda Christian Democratic Army and began fighting against the government.
In 1991 he changed the name of the group to the Lord’s Resistance Army.”
Fed Phelps and the Westboro wackos call themselves Christians, too.
“The LRA committed numerous abuses and atrocities, including the abduction, rape, maiming, and killing of civilians, including children.”
Did you notice this part? Rush admitted the LRA isn’t Christian. Google “Machine Gun Preacher”.
