Call me cynical, but there are lots and lots of bad actors that need killin’ on the ‘dark continent’. First and foremost: Muslim terrorists defined by their BEHAVIOR! (God, I feel dirty - as if I am an Obama apologist)! Release the hounds. Seals, Rangers, Special Forces, Recon, etc. (not forgetting the USAF CCT’s and PR’s. Warmonger? Nope! Pragmatic.
Having spent yrs. in Africa,many of these comments are correct. There is a CIVIL WAR in the DRC. A UN Agency called MONUC took on the responsibility for the vacuum of leadership by the Belgians. Yes along with the standard fair of Diamonds and such, the region has a high concentration of coltans which the industrialized world needs. The mining/exploration for such is owned by YES the Chinese. There is another region high in coltans in the US but we as a people don’t care.The UN has been trying to hand off the MONUC mission to any takers. There are none.Now the US enters the picture and we are going to kill, slaughter etc in humanities name. I call BS. This has nothing to do with the plight of these poor people. Solve a problem go to Darfur.How does this president get a pass once again on our constitution?
