Obama sending troops to aid Africa anti-insurgency

[ronny]

Have you been under a rock for the last 10 years? Our troops are spent, our money is gone, we do not have the resources to fight another battle.

If you would read the accounts, you would know that we are not fighting another battle. At least, not yet.

You would be better served to use some of that same arguement about the money that Congress wastes every day.

Much of the continent of Africa is rife with this kind of behavior; where would you like to draw the line as "finished"?

Since we're going into a "help Africa" mode, you think maybe we could go into South Africa next, and take care of thugs pulling women from their cars and raping them during traffic stops, or killing farmers for their land, etc.?

I certainly do.

That's how I found this little gem.
if you write a letter to Inhofe and disagree with him, his office will write back "Ms. Firstname Lastname"
If you write about something and the nutter agrees with you, his office will write back with your real title.

And, yes. Kramer, I understand that we have our own problems here at home. That doesn't preclude us accepting our responsibility to others who need our help. We don't/didn't hesitate to take Africa's gold, oil, diamonds and slaves. This tiny bit of payback might be due.

Kinda like Libya? If the POTUS really gave a rats behind, he would send in a few Special Op teams and be done with this whole thing in a matter of days.

I would venture to guess, the slaves and their children came out ahead on that deal.

If your house was on fire, would you leave your family inside to go help direct traffic downtown?
Downtown needs your help! Accept responsibility.

We are not the world's police, we can't even protect our own borders why do we think that we can protect anyone else.

This!!! We need to fix the issues we have here first. I am tired of worring about the rest of the World, Fix our issues FIRST!

You haven't got a clue what I do with my spare time. And your analogies sound great but are hardly pertinent to the issue at hand.
