Occupy Underground

ellisonz, this is my problem with what you say...why I have questions about this "Heart Tugging Video" and the rest..... We are Already there and Obama announced a "Kill or Capture" Mission.

As much as I find John McCain disgustingly duplicitous....his comment about Obama "ordering this" is exactly why I'm concerned. I didn't agree with Libya, either. But, I respect your opinion about this. I would hope for more discussion on it, even thought this doesn't seem like an OWS Topic...it's part of the root of our problems... The Military/Industrial/Media/Financial/Wall Street Complex. So...in a way it does fit...

Also, If I hear "Capture or Kill" from another American President...I'm gonna know that our Democracy is dead. I thought that ended with "Chimperor-in-Chief." What about BRINGING CRIMINALS TO JUSTICE.. JUSTICE ...TRIALS ...COURTS...NUREMBERG CONVENTIONS...

That's what my problem is with all of this. IMPERIAL KILLING... I hope you can try to understand my viewpoint.

Peace, regards...

US to send troops to Uganda to help fight LRA rebels

14 October 2011 Last updated at 19:17 ET

US President Barack Obama has said he is sending about 100 US soldiers to Uganda to help regional forces battle the notorious Lord's Resistance Army.

Although combat-equipped, the troops would be providing information and advice "to partner nation forces", Mr Obama wrote in a letter to US Congress.

A small group is already in Uganda, and the troops could later be deployed in other central African nations.

The LRA is blamed for mass murder, rape and kidnapping in the region.
'Kill or capture'

"I have authorised a small number of combat-equipped US forces to deploy to central Africa to provide assistance to regional forces that are working toward the removal of (LRA leader) Joseph Kony from the battlefield," Mr Obama wrote on Friday.

But he stressed that "although the US forces are combat-equipped... they will not themselves engage LRA forces unless necessary for self-defence".

Mr Obama did not provide any details about the deployment duration, but a US military spokesman later told the BBC that the "forces are prepared to stay as long as necessary to enable regional security forces to carry on independently".

The force will use hi-tech equipment to assist in what analysts say is a "kill or capture" policy, the BBC's Marcus George in Washington reports.

The deployment follows recent US legislation to help disarm the LRA and bring its leader to justice. The theory is, our correspondent adds, that without Joseph Kony, the movement will collapse from within.

Senator John McCain said Central Africa would be more stable if the threat of the LRA "under the sadistic leadership of Joseph Kony," would be "diminished".

But Mr McCain, a long-serving senator, former veteran and Mr Obama's opponent in the 2008 presidential election, expressed "regret" that the president did not consult with Congress on the decision to sent troops to Uganda.

"I remember how past military deployments intended to further worthy humanitarian goals, whether it was peace-keeping operations in Lebanon or Somalia, resulted in tragedies that we never intended or expected," Mr McCain said in a statement.]/b]
