POPSYou Learn The Darndest Things on Fridays, Obama Administration
So we’re going into Africa to go after some obscure nominally Christian militia, a war brought to you by the same administration that ran guns to drug cartels in Mexico. 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.” The apparent legal basis for the kinetic military action is an obscure law passed when the Democrats still held Congress. This episode seems to back up an epiphany I had during the Darfur debate a few years ago. At that time, the very same Democrats who wanted US troops inserted into Darfur were totally against the ongoing war in Iraq. The epiphany that this led to: Democrats support US intervention in foreign conflicts in inverse proportion to the US national security interests at stake.

POPSCatholic charity CARITAS supplied LRA rebels Why in the world would CARITAS agree to supply the thugs of the Lord's Resistance Army with food and supplies? How much are they getting paid by the "international sponsors" for fulfilling this contract? Is it worthwhile to give murderous thugs an incentive?

POPSOperation Lightning Thunder still chasing LRA However, two months since the operation was launched on the rebel camps in Garamba, allied forces are yet to locate Kony, who, along with his two deputies, is wanted at The Hague for war crimes. Estimated to number about 1,000 fighters, officials say the LRA has split into smaller groups which are now hiding at the Central African Republic border.

POPSUgandan President Museveni says LRA deputy to benefit from amnesty President Yoweri Museveni said LRA leader Joseph Kony would also have been forgiven had he signed the peace agreement in Juba, South Sudan, last April. The President made the comments while addressing a press conference at State House, Nakasero, yesterday. Museveni said although he did not believe in forgiving wrong-doers, Archbishop John Baptist Odama of Gulu Diocese and Bishop Baker Ochola of Kitgum diocese had convinced him about the need for forgiveness in Acholi, which bore the brunt of the two-decade-long war.
