Who’s making money off us being there ?
Right across central Africa?
Uganda, Congo, South Sudan and Central African Republic.
“Joseph Kony (born 1961) is a Ugandan guerrilla group leader, head of the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA), a guerrilla group that is engaged in a violent campaign to establish theocratic government based on the Ten Commandments in Uganda.[1] The LRA say that God has sent spirits to communicate this mission directly to Kony.[4]”
Between Bush in Iraq, and Obama in Libya, and Obama meddling with Egypt and prob soon to be Syria, and now 4 African countries, when does the point come that it is understandable why the world views us differently than we ourselves do? While we say we have humanitarian reasons for some, if not all, of the above, people are getting killed just the same. Why is the nanny state wrong domestically, but OK internationally? Aren’t we trying to nanny state the world?
Just a guess that this is the strongest pro-Christian group operating in Africa and poses a threat to the islamist movements in the Northern tier.
Wouldn’t these troops be better used in Afghanistan? Well, if we were trying to win?
Are our servicemen dying, defending or helping the mosloms get or stay into power?
Is our country committing suicide with a leader that says he will stand with the mosloms if push came to shove?
I feel like I’m starting to spin around that abyss.
My best guess about this is that Obama is doing it for two reasons:
1. He thinks it will help secure him the black vote in 2012, since he can tell them: “See how much I’m doing to help your black ancestors, something no white President has ever done.”
2. If he loses, then he leaves the White Republican President a nice Tar Baby to deal with first thing in office.
Heart of Darkness...the sequel.
And not a single GD voice in the media or useless, shit-scared GOP asking: “WHY?”
