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 -- Lords 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 ABCs 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.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
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.

Why us? Uganda is former British colony and the Brits should be shouldering their share of quashing these thugs. The French are entrenched in nearby Djibouti, and maintain garrisons throughout Africa. They need to get involved here. We don’t; we’ve got enough on our plate as it is.

I’m certainly not supporting the idea of U.S. troops being sent into yet another foreign war, but Limbaugh really needs to read up on the Lord’s Resistance Army before he takes up their cause and assumes the role as their spokesperson. They have a marked propensity towards massacring Catholics and anyone else that gets in their way. These are not good people.

Mr. Limbaugh, it's just 100 peacekeepers.
In Vietnam, they were known as advisors.
Can't wait to see what Zero comes up with for his Gulf of Tonkin moment.

“Which just goes to demonstrate yet again that the left’s anti-war fervor is almost always about partisan politics.”
Of course. Many on the left would be just fine with sending troops into American towns and cities and rounding up their political opponents. There are those in their ranks who would be fine with reeducation camps, and with ‘eradicating’ those who wouldn't be ‘reeducated’. They are not anti-violence. They are violent, and if the left ever had absolute power you would see a repeat of what Stalin did.
To: Straight Vermonter
WHOA!! You say one thing, Eush says another. We MUST get the STRAIGHT SCOOP on this group! They could be either....anti Christian or Christian, but we MUST be told the TRUTH about the group we are fighting.....and WHY we are fighting them!!
WHO called Obama to ask him to send tropps there??

Rush blew it. The Lords Resistance Army is Christan like the Westboro Baptist Church are Baptists.
Google Lords Resistance Army. Nasty, nasty bunch. Been around for 30+ years.
I’d like to know why nobama is “suddenly” interested in this group.

Id like to know why nobama is suddenly interested in this group. I'd say some Islamist warlord wanted them out of the way. That country is just under 20% Muslim, which is the point where nasty things like this begin occurring.

Thanks Yosemitest. Rush Limbaugh:
I wonder how the Wall Street crowd is gonna react when they find out that Obama has sent troops to another war? ...LRA is Lord's Resistance Army. And it doesn't mean God's resistance army. Lord is some Lord, some guy... 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... 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.. Lord's Resistance Army objectives. I have them here. "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.

You probably are aware that the Sudanese slaughtered the South Sudanese over many years, killed them by the millions, and for a long time no one would help them for fear of alienating the muslims. But a lot of missionary organizations have been involved helping them, and they did build enough of a resistance army that Khartoum was forced to take them seriously. We helped them negotiate a slow-motion declaration of independence, and a vote which as of recently has made them the first new independent country in Africa.
In addition to the Sudanese military, the LRA has preyed upon the South Sudanese (along with anyone else they can get their hands on, they are psychotic...) so a part of helping South Sudan to get on its feet, and helping their refugees to go home (and making it possible for missionaries and aid groups to operate without being killed) is to go after the LRA.
So, we send a few special forces operators to help the Ugandans go after them. Its almost certain we’ll be sending people to train the South Sudanese Army (probably we’ve been doing it for years on the quiet, which is probably how they were able to beat Sudan).
I don’t like Obama, but I’m not going to criticize him on this one. Since Bush we’ve had people operating all over Africa in various capacities, not really in secret but very much on the quiet, because Africa is the next battleground with Al Qaeda. We often send units to train with the various militaries to go after “bandits”, so this is just one more. The LRA have needed killing for a long long time.

I was waiting for the "Vietnam comparison" and I agree that
Democrats Communists don't know how to conduct war.
Just for
the record.
July 26, 1950 - United States military involvement in Vietnam begins as President Harry Truman authorizes $15 million in military aid to the French.
American military advisers will accompany the flow of U.S. tanks, planes, artillery and other supplies to Vietnam.
Over the next four years, the U.S. will spend $3 Billion on the French war and by 1954 will provide 80 percent of all war supplies used by the French.
Isn't it interesting how they try to separate the word "Democrat" from Harry Truman?

"Where the hell do people get this Thou shalt not kill CRAP?"
That's a very good question, that I'm having a hard time finding the origin of.
I have my own thoughts on the issue.
And that is; that Satan uses this misinterpretation to protect his minions. What better way to twist the Ten Commandments on a single word,
First read
The Sixth Commandment.
Then read
You shall not murder.
Then read
Killing vs. Murder ...what is the difference, if any?
I may add more reference to this, later if I can find the source.
I think the source will be found in a very early interpretation, but I'm guessing.
