Where does one send money to support the Congo troops?
Let's hope they're cannibals, or at least head-hunters.

When it comes to the french, they can "eat me" if you know what I mean. I hope that translates.

The Congoleons will overwhelm them.
Considering their alledged canablism it adds a whole new meaning to "French quisine".

Except for raids to rescue American citizens or kill terrorists we should stay the hell out of Africa. Our troops would be under fire from both sides. The only thing that would work would be to conquer and colonize, and THAT is not going to fly with the Congressional Black Caucus.

Eating cheese-fed monkeys could lead to another epedimic...like a virus which makes one want to surrender and forage for snails at the same time.
