Obama Invades Uganda, Targets Christians
October 14, 2011



BEGIN TRANSCRIPT



RUSH: President Obama has deployed troops to another war, in Africa, ladies and gentlemen.
Jacob Tapper, ABC News, is reporting that Obama has sent 100 US troops to Uganda to help combat Lord's Resistance Army. Tapper reporting today:

"Two days ago President Obama authorized the deployment to Uganda of approximately 100 combat-equipped U.S. forces
to help regional forces 'remove from the battlefield' -- meaning capture or kill -- Lord’s Resistance Army leader Joseph Kony and senior leaders of the LRA."
I wonder how the Wall Street crowd is gonna react when they find out that Obama has sent troops to another war?
"Mr. Limbaugh, it's just 100 peacekeepers."
Yep, yep, yep, that's how Libya started, and, by the way, there's no end in sight for Libya.


"The forces will deploy beginning with a small group and grow over the next month to 100.
They will ultimately go to Uganda, South Sudan, the Central African Republic, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo."
A hundred people are gonna go to all those places?
"The president made this announcement in a letter to House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, Friday afternoon, saying that
'deploying these U.S. Armed Forces furthers U.S. national security interests and foreign policy
and will be a significant contribution toward counter-LRA efforts in central Africa.'"
LRA is Lord's Resistance Army. And it doesn't mean God's resistance army.
Lord is some Lord, some guy.
A "Defense Department official tells ABC’s Luis Martinez at the Pentagon that the U.S. troops will be in Africa
'for a few months in an advisory role.'"
One hundred troops in an advisory role.

So nothing to worry about here, folks, only gonna be for a few months.
Now, up until today, most Americans have never heard of the combat Lord's Resistance Army.
And here we are at war with them.
Have you ever heard of Lord's Resistance Army, Dawn?
How about you, Brian? Snerdley, have you?
You never heard of Lord's Resistance Army?
Well, proves my contention, most Americans have never heard of it, and here we are at war with them.
Lord's Resistance Army are Christians.
It means God. I was only kidding.
Lord's Resistance Army are Christians. They are fighting the Muslims in Sudan.
And Obama has sent troops, United States troops to remove them from the battlefield, which means kill them.
That's what the lingo means,
"to help regional forces remove from the battlefield," meaning capture or kill.

So that's a new war, a hundred troops to wipe out Christians in Sudan, Uganda, and -- (interruption)
no, I'm not kidding. Jacob Tapper just reported it.
Now, are we gonna help the Egyptians wipe out the Christians?
Wouldn't you say that we are?
I mean the Coptic Christians are being wiped out, but it wasn't just Obama that supported that.
The conservative intelligentsia thought it was an outbreak of democracy.
Now they've done a 180 on that, but they forgot that they supported it in the first place.
Now they're criticizing it.

Lord's Resistance Army objectives. I have them here.
"To remove dictatorship and stop the oppression of our people."
Now, again Lord's Resistance Army is who Obama sent troops to help nations wipe out.
The objectives of the Lord's Resistance Army, what they're trying to accomplish with their military action in these countries is the following:
"To remove dictatorship and stop the oppression of our people;
to fight for the immediate restoration of the competitive multiparty democracy in Uganda;
to see an end to gross violation of human rights and dignity of Ugandans;
to ensure the restoration of peace and security in Uganda,
to ensure unity, sovereignty, and economic prosperity beneficial to all Ugandans,
and to bring to an end the repressive policy of deliberate marginalization
of groups of people who may not agree with the LRA ideology."
Those are the objectives of the group that we are fighting, or who are being fought
and we are joining in the effort to remove them from the battlefield.

The government of Uganda claims that Lord's Resistance Army only has 500 or a thousand soldiers in total.
So what's the threat?
If that's the maximum size of their army, what's the threat?
A thousand soldiers?
Now, 1100 soldiers because we have sent a hundred.
I'm not making this up. This is Jacob Tapper.
ABC News had reported that Obama got a letter off to John Boehner a couple days ago announcing this.
It's just for a few months until the Lord's Resistance Army is eradicated. That's all.
Just a few months. Not much of a threat.

RUSH: Here's Mike in Youngsville, North Carolina. Welcome to the EIB Network.
Hello.

CALLER: Rush, this is Mike. How you doing?

RUSH: Very well, sir. Thank you.

CALLER: Let me just say thank you so much for your dedication and teaching the principles and the truths of current events today,
and I'm a longtime listener, first-time caller.

RUSH: Thank you, sir, very much. I sincerely appreciate it.

CALLER: Yeah, I told Snerdley I want to get to my point quickly --

RUSH: Yeah.

CALLER: -- but just the difference between the Tea Party and the occupation (sic) Wall Street crowd, and that is that,
you know, I'm gonna be 60 years old this year in just a few weeks.

RUSH: You don't sound that old.

CALLER: Yeah, I'm gonna be 60 and I've got four children, 32, 30, 29, and 27.
I just thank God for this country.
I thank God for all the military people that are listening right now serving our country presently and in the past.
My parents, both my mum and dad served in World War II.
They met on a blind date, my dad passed away in 2003, they would have been married 65 years this year.

RUSH: Whoa. That's something I can't even imagine.

CALLER: Yeah. And, Rush, you know what? I went to a Tea Party rally in Raleigh last year,
and the clientèle of people that were there were older, you know,
I was 59 at the time, and there were a lot of people my age,
there were a lot of people right up until that World War II generation that had served.
They were polite; they were kind; they were orderly; they were clean.
I mean, we left the capitol and you could've eaten off the ground.

RUSH: Yeah, I know.

CALLER: Yeah. And, you know, Rush, I grew up, I was privileged and my parents sent me to a parochial school.
And, you know, this ADD that they talk about, you know, people say ADD, ADD, everybody ADHD, whatever.

RUSH: Yeah.

CALLER: You know what I call that? ADD?

RUSH: Being a kid.

CALLER: Yeah. Absence of discipline disorder.

RUSH: Well.

CALLER: That's what it is.

RUSH: I like it.

CALLER: I had it when I was young.
But the nuns beat it out of me in about two weeks, along with all the other kids that were unruly in the class.
And we were taught to be obedient. We were taught to respect our elders.
Rush, I went to high school when you did.
I had to wear a suit coat and tie at a public school and have my hair cropped so it didn't go over the collar
and didn't go over the ears, and these kids today, I've seen it for 30 years since I started having children of my own,
and my wife and I would take our kids out to public restaurants and public places,
and we made our children obey, we made them, they knew --

RUSH: Well, you know, that's the old days. Now parents want to be friends.

CALLER: Yeah, they want to be their friends.

RUSH: Yeah.

CALLER: They want to be their friends and this is the result of it.
We have these kids that think they're entitled to everything, you know, and we've seen it for 30 years.
To this day, you go into any shopping center or store or restaurant and these young children are so unruly,
they're crying, they're screaming, and it just reminds me, I knew there was gonna be a payback,
and this is it, this is the payback --

RUSH: You knew there was -- (laughing)

CALLER: This is it. We're seeing it.

RUSH: Well, there is a lot of spoiled bratness --

CALLER: Yes, exactly.

RUSH: -- no question. How do you feel about the news?
I want to go back, your extensive military background,
how do you react to the news that Obama has dispatched a hundred soldiers to fight radical Christians in Africa?

CALLER: That's amazing. I can't believe he's doing that.

RUSH: You can't?

CALLER: You know, Rush, our parents, my mum and dad both served in World War II.
I forget how many million soldiers that we sent overseas, and we lost 450,000 lives in 44 months, you know.
And they came back, they didn't complain, they went, they served their country, we kept our freedom,
we freed all those people that were in those camps of many nationalities --

RUSH: There's no question that times are different, and child rearing has changed.
Not everywhere, though.
Anyway, Mike, I'm grateful you're in the audience.
I'm glad you called. Thanks very much.

RUSH: On sending the soldiers to fight the Christians in Africa,
here is how Obama ends his letter to John Boehner justifying sending troops to Uganda:
"I have directed this deployment,
which is in the national security and foreign policy interests of the United States,
pursuant to my constitutional authority to conduct US foreign relations and as commander-in-chief and chief executive."
Would somebody explain to me what you think our "national security interests" are in Uganda.
Now, keep in mind, folks, this is the same Barack Obama who said that we had no national security interests in attacking Iraq.
After they were shooting at our planes and trying to kill our president and Allah knows what else,
Obama said,
"We got no national security interests in Iraq!
They don't threaten us!
What are we doing?"
We've got 500 to a thousand soldiers in the Lord's Resistance Army and Uganda trying to wipe them out,
and we're sending a hundred soldiers to help them.

Vital national interests are at stake, according to Obama.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: I wonder when the Nobel Committee is gonna call Obama and ask for the Peace Prize back.
You think this is what they had in mind when he got the Peace Prize?
Remember, he got that prize on the come.
He hadn't done anything for peace,
and since then, how many wars are we in now, five?
And he hasn't gotten us out of any of these wars?
I know, isn't gonna happen.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

Is that right? The Lord's Resistance Army is being accused of really bad stuff?
Child kidnapping, torture, murder, that kind of stuff?
Well, we just found out about this today.
We're gonna do, of course, our due diligence research on it.
But nevertheless we got a hundred troops being sent over there to fight these guys --
and they claim to be Christians.

I think if you do your research, you'll find the more accurate translation is

"Thou shalt do no murder".

There's a big difference in that and "thou shall not kill".

[Moonman62]

Rush blew it big time on this:

If that's the case, he needs to retract and apologize.

Oh, I know, but I guess I was being a little "general". You are right and there is a big difference.

‘salright.

[D Rider]

Your right, I heard about them years ago, really sick people.

[spetznaz]

This CR@P is what gives us Conservatives a BAD NAME! Now the LRA are ‘Christians?’ Geez, that is like saying the Ebola virus is a gentle golden retriever! The Lord’s Resistance Army is one of the most evil groups in a continent that has a lot of evil people and groups. They have been in the bush for many years, and their specific penchant is kidnapping little kids and forcing them (often after making them kill their own parents in order to break their spirit) to become part of their group. The LRA is a bunch of savage killers that has almost no equal (I consider them as bad as the Janjaweed of Sudan). Now, just because Obama is against them doesn’t make the LRA saints ...and definitely NOT Christian. Unless forcing a 14 year old boy to rape his sister (or else they will kill his entire family of 6 people), and thereafter killing them all the same in order to break him, is something Christ would do. Yes, Obama is a POS! Yes, the US is already in too many wars and too many places! Yes, maybe it is time the US fixed it’s own issues rather than helping people who may not even appreciate the help. However, the good vs evil dichotomy that plagues American politics, tv shows and talk radio at times becomes highly convoluted, and at times outright folly (dare I say stupid). Just because a POS like Obama opposes the LRA doesn’t make them ‘Christian.’ I am really surprised by Rush. I would have expected more brilliance from the guy, or at least his research team. Unless he has no integrity and will say anything (including making it seem that a fight against the LRA is a fight against Christianity) just because it gives a great soundbye. In hell, I believe that the Ugandan LRA (together with the Sudanese Janjaweed) possibly occupy hotter sections than even the vile Taliban. They really are that bad. Pure unadulterated evil in it’s most basic iteration. But, I guess because Obama is against them that makes them Christian, right? I can’t wait for a Conservative to win in 2012 so that, among other positive changes to the economy and the US in general, the LRA goes back to being the bloodthirsty offspring of demons that it is rather than their current position of ‘Christian’ just because some person in talk radio said so.

The Lord’s Resistance Army are a bunch of pagan animists. Where does get they are Christians?

May I recommend

HTML Sandbox 2008

and A guide to using HTML on Free Republic in 5 lines?

It'll help us old FReepers read your post. My eyes ain't what they use to be.

Now, back to Rush's question:

Would somebody explain to me what you think our "national security interests" are in Uganda.

I'm not that interested in it, if it doesn't concern our national interest.
But after that, I'm not interested in "Muzzl'em" countries,

especially our ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT IN CHIEF's home country's neighbors.
Let them live with the punishments God has given them for their false religion.

NOw answer Rush's question;

What you think our "national security interests" are ... in Uganda?

[ronnie raygun]

A muslim helping muslims, should we expect anything less? While the middle east commits genocide against the christians, zero wants to join the fun.

[docbnj]

Rush really blew it this time!

The Lord’s Resistance Army is not Christian in any reasonable sense. It is actually more based on magic. Their “soldiers” are told that bullets will not kill them. They are a murdering bunch of madmen.

No Christian group that I know of supports this group of killers.

[Yosemitest]

Do you every do any research?

[Yosemitest]

Do you always get distracted on a tangent issue?
Answer Rush's question;

What you think our "national security interests" are ... in Uganda?

[fso301]

Do you every do any research?

Yes and I suggest you do some as well. The LRA is a syncretic religion similar to santeria and voodoo.

[spetznaz]

I already answered that in my post (which I gather you couldn't read due to how I formatted it).

Just for you - there really is none, and the US already has a lot it needs to fix within it's own borders before it starts chasing idiots and murderers around the East African bush. I hope that is succinct enough.

Now, back to Rush. Since I have answered his question on what the heck the US is doing in Uganda, I am still wondering just how uninformed the man (and his staff) is to say the LRA is 'Christian,' or whether it is simple lack of integrity for the sake of a nice soundbyte.

Rush blew this one big time.

[EBH]

Hmmm...looked into this yesterday with the first claims of it being a Christian matter.

My findings were this is some rogue army and don’t resemble anything Christian I am familiar with.

That said, I question why we need to be there and it is interesting that an unknown group for most Americans is being ginned up as an attack on Christians.

It is way too easy to dismiss this group as Christian and assist in the slaughter of them as evil. The question in my mind is the piqueing of the rhetoric.

Why select a group, a brutal “christian” army? I cannot defend the LRA’s actions nor their ‘christian’ claims, but in a land where muslim mujahadeen enforce shariah in horrific ways...

I think Rush was failed by his research team and this maybe one of those times he is in that 1% margen of error, but the fact if the media gets hold of it the damage that can be done by pointing out the ‘brutality of christians in Africa,” is dangerous.

[nikos1121]

Well I guess Rush will have to edit his, I’m “right 99.99999%” of the time schtick.

The LRA if I’m not mistaking, come into towns and just start hacking up people with machetis. Theyre nothing but a bunch of thugs. ten of our troops will wipe them out once and for all.

Rush, you better correct this gaf quickly. On the other hand, it’s another in a long line of diversions that Obama loves to throw in when his polls are diving.

He will be on Oprah probably next week to talk about how he’s defending Christians there.

[sport]

you know this how?

[gusty]

One of the few times that Rush has really soiled the bed. He really messed up the whole Christian Muslim thing. He actually got the situation backwards. The LRA is no Christian army. They are something out of a horror movie. The only interaction the LRA has with Muslims is being armed by them, the government in Khartoum. We remember them, the same ones who sheltered Osama Bin Laden in the mid-90’s. Now the victims of the LRA are not Muslims either, but Christians. The four countries they operate in, Uganda, Congo, Central African Republic, and newly independent South Sudan are not Muslim countries. All are primarily Christian.
