Do a little research, go to AFRICOMs web page... this command has been a very wise strategic investment and has nothing to do with Obama. I remain sceptical. Anyway, why not let the Chinese and the Muslims duke it out in Africa? You never see China being anyone's good guy like the U.S. is, but they are there strictly for business purposes only.

“US quietly assumes military posture in Africa”
It usually starts quietly, like a tumor.

Podesta is now advising Hillary and the State Department. Soros's Open society institute is in Africa. Soros is behind R2P UN initiative to bypass Congress.
Why U.S. military in Uganda? Soros fingerprints all over it.
The billionaire's Open Society Institute, meanwhile, runs numerous offices in Uganda. It maintains a country manager in Uganda, as well as the Open Society Initiative for East Africa, which supports work in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda.
The Open Society Institute runs a Ugandan Youth Action Fund, which states its mission is to "identify, inspire, and support small groups of dedicated young people who can mobilize and influence large numbers of their peers to promote open society ideals."

Well the Roman Senate pretty much fazed out along the way...though there were periods where they tried to regain their power. But they were never officially dismembered.

Q?? The Obozo didn't use the term rogue dictator. Paraphrasing: I recall him saying something to the effect of; governments who act lawlessly are on notice thus my inference of rogue dictators.

This is also about China. They just are not talking about it. China is moving into Africa bigtime. Leasing thousands and thousands of acres of farmland to grow crops etc.

Do we really have to kick everyones butt in the world? What are our strategic interests in Africa? I suppose you can claim we're countering Chinese power in the region, but that's a stretch.
Maybe we should ask: What are the interests of the State Department and the Department of Defense in the region?
This kind of meddling strengthens DoD and DoS influence, gives them greater budgets and gives them more things to do.
And anyone who criticizes this patronage system is tarred as an isolationist.

Had I a son or daughter of the age to join the military, I would do everything possible I could to keep them from it. This country is run by a madman, and US military lives are the price. He is undoing everything that was good about our efforts in Afghanistan and Iraq, and he is doing everything that is evil when it comes to helping Muslims take control of more countries. Neither I or any of my family will have anything to do with it.

"If you ask me what keeps me awake at night, it is the thought of an American passport-holding person who transits through a training camp in Somalia and gets some skill and then finds their way back into the United States to attack Americans here in our homeland," Gen. Carter Ham, the commander of the U.S. Africa Command, said in Washington this month. "That's mission failure for us."Gen. Ham, I'm much, much more worried about a full fledged, armed to the teeth, group of al-Qaida coming over our porous southern border, possibly bring an Iranian nuke with them, and wreaking havoc here in the US.
Talk about mission failure!
