Now we are in Uganda

. . . . What, pray tell, is our national interest in Uganda? I guess we sort of have a humanitarian interest and perhaps a mild security interest in seeing that it, like any country, just doesn't completely go to shit. But I don't think it would be very high on my list of worried every day if I woke up at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Originally Posted by TexTushHog

Call me cold and callous... but one of my recommendations has always been to send sharpening stones to Uganda. If you're going to chop my head off with a machete... please do it with a sharp one... rather than having to hack-hack-hack away!

Can anyone please tell me of any "good news " that come from the African Continent in our lifetime?* I can only think of "one" example....
Charlize Theron!!

Dick Tiger?

Hakeem Olajuwon.

There will be unless the "bring home the troops" ladies win the discussion.

Which camp are you in LL? Because a neo-con is just a fuc'n former liberal nation builder Democrat that is now a Republican nation building liberal. Nation Building is a liberal endeavor.

If so, none of the above.

But we know what "camp" you are in:

.... the "bring home the troops" ladies' camp!

Another loser.

And as for all of those whining about spending U.S. "treasure" on producing oil overseas .... who would you rather have the oil?

China
Russia
Europe
United States

So you admit that our military is being used to support the oil companies? People are dying so the oil companies can profit? And you support this?

Without our consumption the price of oil would be 10 dollars and the ME countries wouldn't have shit by way of money. They need us amore than we need them. We would all be driving smaller crs but the flip side is we would not have dead soldiers in that part of the world protecting oil profits.

WTF do Oil Company profits have to do with Uganda and it's LRA problem?

NOTHING!!

WTF does Uganda have to do with US vital interests?

NOTHING!

Then you ask this stupid question after being the one who brought up Africa instead of staying on topic with Uganda. Please try and keep up, I know you can as I can't keep leading you around by the britch's!

Oil Company Profits = Uganda? . . . . WTF?

I didn't "bring up" a f'ing thing to do with Africa... Perhaps you missed the original topic of this thread. . . . UGANDA!! * Unless, that is... you don't realize Uganda is on the African Continent!!

BTW..... how much time have you spent in Africa?

If you cannot recognize the "tongue in cheek" Charlize Theron comment.... nevermind...

Ok, at least we have now determined that some on here support sending American troops in harms way in order to protect oil company profits. I don't.

As TTH inferred.... at best, the Ugandan / LRA situation is a humanitarian dilemma... one that has gone on for a long time.... Joseph Kony is a POS that needs to "cease to exist"!* Whether it's our (USA's) responsibility to see that it happens , or not?... I agree... but therein, lies the dilemma
