I hope Obama is letting them take live ammo.

wtf??????????
"The soldiers will deploy to the Horn of Africa where they will work to promote regional security and stability."
What is the 'mission' , what is the definition of success, and what is the exit plan?
Or are they just going to hang out and 'raise awareness'?

Here’s one case where Ron Paul is absolutely correct. What business does the Kentucky National Guard have in Africa?
Unless southern Africa recently declared war on us and I missed it, the Kentucky National Guard belongs in Kentucky.

“Horn of Africa”? We’re putting troops on the ground in Somalia?

2nd Battalion, 138th Field Artillery. The soldiers will deploy to the Horn of Africa where they will work to promote regional security and stability.I'm pretty sure my idea of promoting regional security and stability through the applied use of field artillery is different from what Panetta has in mind.

This violates every conceivable principle of traditional American foreign policy.
Here is a discussion of what is wrong with such meddling: An American Foreign Policy. Risking American lives where we have no immediate interest, of course, is always unforgivable.
Bush II was terribly confused about the function of American Foreign Policy; but Obama almost makes Bush appear the "strict constructionist," he once claimed to be. (Almost, but not really.)

Hussein is pursuing a secret war in Mali. Primarily.
But it’s in various parts of the african continent also.
So great we’re going to lastingly improve Africa, right...?
I’m sure that’s what you were thinking. I mean, we have tons of dough for foreign aid.
For AFRICA.
