Yet Still Another War?

President Barack Obama is sending about 100 U.S. troops to Africa to help hunt down the leaders of the notoriously violent Lord's Resistance Army in and around Uganda.
The LRA is probably, man for man, one of the most brutal group of armed thugs in the world. They use rape (including raping very young girls) and maiming as terror tools. The world will be a better place if the LRA were all slain.

But one has to wonder what the plan is. George W. Bush tried this with fewer people and failed. If 100 advisers are not enough to make a dent in the LRA, then what? Are we going to deploy armed drones to central Africa?

  1. That's the plan.

    Evidently.

    Everywhere there are resources to steal.

    Imagine how smart the guys are who thought of these plans.

    - First invade everybody.

    - Second raise the taxes of the people at the bottom to pay for it.

    - State solemnly that Social Security and Medicare, et al., are no longer affordable.

    - Invade another country.

    - Always say (complain to disbelievers that you had to because) it's a humanitarian nonprofit enterprise.

    Smile solemnly at the gullibility of your voters.

    Don't laugh out loud outside of private clubs.

    Thanks for following this!

  2. It would be cheaper to give them money and the phone number for Eric Price so they can hire Blackwater. That's what mercenaries are for.

  3. I thought Bush sent unarmed advisers.
