GOD bless and protect our troops!

[livius]

I hope our military folks are there just to evaluate the situation, evacuate any Americans that might be there, and leave.

A choice between supporting a violent brutal dictator and several groups of Islamic "rebels" is no choice at all, and we shouldn't get involved in this at the moment, other than diplomatically.

[Mo1]

Amen

An article in last week's Rolling Stone magazine, by someone who spent time with the Liberian local troops is horrifying! They are nothing but doped up, crazed out kids between the ages of 10-15ish. Since reading that article I only pray that Bush will keep us out! Not one American life is worth trying to save that hell hole.

  Out of Africa: Butt Naked Battalion

Out of Africa: Butt Naked Battalion
        ---- by Sun Tzu's Newswire Staff
An Associated Press story by Tina Susman contributed to this piece

In Monrovia, Liberia, Joshua Milton Blahyi was General Butt Naked
during Liberia's civil war that claimed up to 200,000 lives before
the warring factions signed a peace accord.

Blahyi was hired by warlord Roosevelt Johnson. His group of drugged
and drunken teenagers entered battle in drag wearing wigs, flowered
dresses, and carrying purses.

General Butt Naked, as Blahyi has been named in press dispatches out
of Monrovia, wore only his shoes as he led his Butt Naked Battalion
into battle.

Blahyi claimed a pact with the devil at age 11 consummated a satanic
ritual. He said he was required to perform human sacrifices and go
into battle naked to ensure his safety on the battlefield.

Many of Blahyi's sacrifices were small children, some taken underwater
as they played and others simply butchered.

In 1996 Blahyi claims that God told him that he was a slave to Satan
and from that Blahyi asserts that his conversion to an evangelical
religion began.

Blahyi is now an evangelical preacher in Monrovia.
