Even if Ugandan army find this guy, he is not defenceless and holds a decent amount of territory himself. The Ugandan army isn't going to cross into another country, so he can always just run across a border. So even if the support to get the local troops to find him works who's to say he will be captured?

To do it properly you would need western peace keeping forces in Southern Sudan, Congo and Uganda. All with fairly liberal ROE so if something bad happened they could actually stop it. (Not like in Rwanda) Then you would need a dedicated force to attack him and his positions, but are western militaries willing to deal with the stigma of trained professional troops engaging rag tag drugged up child soldiers. You will also be fighting people who live in the jungle on their home turf, which isn't easy. If you use air power you're destroying a threatened habitat and possibly killing endangered animals as well.

All this arm chair activism isn't really going to do jack.

Thoughts?

I thought that's a big part of what we were doing in Afghanistan.

.

Hey now, those were teenagers. Perfectly legitimate.

No oil there.. who cares?

----------------------------------------------

There actually is oil there

iirc 2.5 billion barrels. It's not being extracted yet I think it's another 2-3 years away.

"deeds, not words"

Well Jamal Tyrone Abudllah Muhammed of West Detroit just claimed the West is the devil and white people are Satans children, lets invade Sudan and secure the oil field for the good of Sudan. By we I mean America, with grudgingly supporting nations.

Siege of Tobruk - One German POW said: "I cannot understand you Australians. In Poland, France, and Belgium, once the tanks got through the soldiers took it for granted that they were beaten. But you are like demons. The tanks break through and your infantry still keep fighting." Rommel wrote of seeing "a batch of some fifty or sixty Australian prisoners ... marched off close behind usimmensely big and powerful men, who without question represented an elite formation of the British Empire, a fact that was also evident in battle."


"As a Internet discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one."

Its all about the Oil. No one gave a dam about General butt naked in Liberia and he killed thousands. Liberia has no oil.

The U.S. activists are selling a pack of lies to unaware youth to raise money for themselves, said Ugandan blogger TMS Ruge in one of a series of critical tweets.

Not a single African is a member of the executive staff or the board of directors of Invisible Children, he noted. Instead, he said, Africans have been relegated to a sideshow without a voice in their own story. Stop treating us like children, he said. I refuse to let my voice stay silent as one more NGO continues to perpetuate an expired single story of us.

Another Ugandan writer, Rosebell Kagumire, said the video campaign sensationalizes the issue and makes it all about America saving us.

One of the criticisms of the campaign is that it focuses on Uganda even though the LRA was pushed out of Uganda several years ago. The video acknowledges briefly that Uganda is now relatively safe but its emphasis is on Ugandan victims and Ugandan charity projects.


Another criticism is that the group promotes U.S. support for the Ugandan military, even though the Ugandan army has been implicated in many human-rights abuses. The group claims credit for helping persuade U.S. President Barack Obama to deploy 100 troops to support the Ugandan army in pursuing the LRA in the jungles of Congo and Central African Republic, but opponents say this means an expanded U.S. military role in Africa.

Nobody is more aware of the dangers of the White Mans Burden messiah complex than Invisible Children, he added.

The way of the Jannisary

He's been at the top of the ICC most wanted list for about 6 years now but sharing something on facebook will TOTALLY catch him. Oh and if you don't post something about stopping Kony then you're in favour of child soldiers. Those are the rules of social networking.

US denies interest in Uganda oil

THE US on Monday denied that its renewed interest in Uganda is a strategy to get hold of the newly found oil in the country.

The US government has announced that it will deploy troops to help Uganda fight the rebels of the Lords Resistance Army (LRA) who are currently in the Central African Republic.

Critics have said that the only reason that America seems to be coming up strongly to offer troops to help in fighting Kony when they did not when he was killing people here was because of the oil.

But the Charge dAffairs at the American embassy in Kampala, Virginia Blaser, said yesterday that the US has been helping Uganda with especially with the humanitarian situation in the North where Kony was killing people. She was addressing journalists at a press conference.
The US is deeply committed to supporting Ugandas effort to eliminate the threat of LRA and providing humanitarian assistance to LRA affected regions, Blazer said. Since 2008, the LRA has been responsible for at least 2,400 attacks and over 3,400 abductions. According to the UN, there have been approximately 250 attacks attributed to the LRQA this year.

She said that over the recent years, the Ugandan military has persevered through some of the most difficult terrain in the world and significantly reduced the LRA numbers and kept them from regrouping.

She insisted that the US troops will assume an advisory, not a combat role. She said that the continued stay of the US troops is dependent on the continued cooperation of regional governments i8n fighting Kony.

The US military personnel will assume a supporting role to strengthen information-sharing and operational effectiveness against the LRA, She said and added that the decision to do so was taken in 2009. She said that only a portion of the personnel will travel to the field locations, but also to advise and would only defend themselves if attacked.

President Yoweri Museveni also told journalists on Sunday that American soldiers will not fight Kony, but will advise the Ugandan army.

We have American advisors not fighters so there are no American troops here, Museveni said in answer to journalists queries at a press conference yesterday.

According to an earlier message by US president Barrack Obama, the , US troops, could also deploy from Uganda into South Sudan, the Central African Republic and Democratic Republic of the Congo.

LRA rebels are accused of terrorizing, murdering, raping and kidnapping thousands of people in the four nations, and tens of thousands of people died in their 20-year war with security forces in northern Uganda.

According to AFP, the president said a small group of troops deployed on Wednesday and that additional forces will deploy over the next month.

Kony, is wanted by the International Criminal Court, over crimes against humanity appears to have dropped any national political agenda and in recent years his marauding troops have sown death and destruction in the region.

The civil war effectively ended in 2006 when a peace process was launched, but Kony and his top commanders continue to commit atrocities in remote areas of neighboring countries.

This is back in Oct 2011.. I wonder how much involvement went in since then.

----------------------------------------------

Uganda is a client state of Russias. Pretty much the only one left along with Algeria. Vlad has about 1.5 billion in arms deals with the country going including one for the supply of betweeen 6 and 12 Su-30MK fighters. Russia supplied Uganda with some 1000 Kornet ATGM's of the past 2-3 years as well. The Ugandan military has also acquired at least 6 Russian built Tigrs and they send their officers for training at Frunze in Moscow. Their army is fairly well kitted out by African standards thanks to their new found love for Rosneft and Gazprom and they do not need the West to give them toys to suppress some heathen savages out in the bush since Vlad has been doing a bang up job arming them.

As much as the Russian would like to be relevant, it's just another US attempt to invade some foreign land in fear of any Chinese power grab.

Just to give some background to the non-initiated folks

Joseph Kony considers himself a good christian, and he wants Uganda to be a true christian nation. So in 1987 he formed a resistance group called the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA). If the LRA wins, Kony has promised that Uganda will become a christian paradise, with laws based on the Biblical Ten Commandments.

SAN DIEGO -- The director of the massively popular "Kony 2012" video about a fugitive Ugandan rebel leader has been arrested on charges of masturbating in public and vandalizing cars in San Diego, KNSD-TV reported Friday.

Jason Russell, co-founder of the humanitarian group Invisible Children, was also apparently intoxicated or under the influence of a controlled substance during his arrest on a street corner in San Diego, police said.

Police said Russell, was "acting very strange."

Russell catapulted to national fame this month after the "Kony 2012" video went viral. The video focuses on Joseph Kony, the leader of the Lord's Resistance Army, who is accused of recruiting children into sexual slavery and using them to fight against Uganda's government.

"The chief aim of all government is to preserve the freedom of the citizen. His control over his person, his property, his movements, his business, his desires should be restrained only so far as the public welfare imperatively demands. The world is in more danger of being governed too much than too little. It is the teaching of all history that liberty can only be preserved in small areas. Local self-government is, therefore, indispensable to liberty. A centralized and distant bureaucracy is the worst of all tyranny. Taxation can justly be levied for no purpose other than to provide revenue for the support of the government. To tax one person, class or section to provide revenue for the benefit of another is none the less robbery because done under the form of law and called taxation." John W. Davis, Democratic Presidential Candidate, 1924. Davis was one of the greatest trial and appellate lawyers in US history. He also served as the US Ambassador to the UK.

LOL!

BAAAHAHAHAHA!!!!


I hope this breaks the spirit of all these self righteous butt holes!!

I know exactly where this happened... I pass by that corner when i go to P.B to surf.


These a-holes are so annoying at my school trying to recruit me... i told them the same thing i told
them when they wanted me to join them in the stupid OWS protest...

F-OFF!

And yes folks these are the same doosh bags that a few months ago were protesting OWS.

Kony is the flavor of the month for these white liberals, since nobody paid any attention to them during OWS.


They need to get jobs and move out of their parents house, they have way too much time and nothing to do.
