Obama sending troops to aid Africa anti-insurgency

[okprepper]

i think all of our recent war moves in the past is all part of one big plan

Back on topic:
Let me get this right:
Bush sends 100 thousand soldiers at cost of $1 trillion to invade Iraq with questionable motives and results - "heck, yeah, I love cheap gas!"
Obama sends 100 soldiers to actually do some good - "My children are starving".
Be what you are, do what you do - pretending to care about someone as an excuse not to help someone else is a hypocritical low in my book.

I completely disagree with "World Police" position that United States is put in - basically invasion and occupation of other countries is something we shouldn't do; however, showing a token of giving a damn where evil prospers to the fullest, even as a political stunt, will make a difference.

Do you have evidence that S4F is pro-Afghan/Iraq-war, or are you just making that up so you can call him a hypocrite?

Has anyone mentioned that we've had thousands of troops in Africa for over a decade now?

Anybody remember the troops in Beruit?

Unfortunatly, our Government did not all them to have bullets in their guns.

My point is we've had thousands of troops in Africa since at least 2001, and smaller groups before that, doing the same thing these 100 are going to do. Heck, they're probably from the same base of operations. Now some folks want to flip out because Obama sent troops to Africa?

Since we already have troops in Africa. It's as non-sensical as releasing a statement "Oklahoma Highway Patrol puts troopers on I-40". Duh.

I have no desire to see Obama get another term in office, but if one is going to argue against him I just think there needs to be some clarity or integrity in the argument otherwise is just knee-jerking.

I don't think it matters how many you send, the scum will immediately stop killing each other and start killing Americans, just to get on the news. I keep seeing Mogadishu.

LOL ... instigating much? Do we need to do age check for the forums? This high-school crap is getting tiresome.

My comments were not aimed at any particular person or post - just a general notion that Obama sucks (vs Bush I assume) and that we shouldn't help other countries until all our own problems are solved.
Let me repeat myself - saying we shouldn't send any help to Africa because there are starving children in Oklahoma and not doing jack about either - is still an epitomy of hypocrisy.

There a plenty of problems with Democrats and BHO - it makes me sick to my stomach when anecdotal decisions and events get blown out of proportion and twisted and smeared - a first grader can see through it, and yet it makes us Republicans look like clinical idiots for buying into that. Sigh.

When will this happen? During this time of year about all they do is provide escorts for the OU football team. They darn sure don't do any real serious traffic enforcement anywhere in Oklahoma.

Sorry, I thought you were attacking the person you directly quoted. It's still a pale straw man either way.

I believe that the intent is to gain/ regain a footprint in the region- Uganda, South Sudan, Central African Republic and the Democratic Republic of Congo (Formerly Zaire) via Foriegn Internal Defense. The basic concept is for U.S. Special Operations Command, Africa (SOCAFRICA) to have a US Army SF Battalion to rotate 1 of it's 3 (or 4 now) Companies into the region- AOB/ Company HQ centrally located, and the Detachments spread out in the aformentioned areas, usually on established military camps or bases.

Been done many times in the past. Nothing new here, other than that it makes Obama seem like he's actually listening to his Military leaders.
