100 US Troops In Uganda

From Yahoo News:
"Obama sends 100 U.S. military advisors to Uganda"

The Obama administration announced plans on Friday to send about 100 U.S. combat forces to Uganda to act as military advisers to Ugandan and African Union forces fighting the Lords' Resistance Army (LRA). The U.S. forces will lend assistance to other central African nations trying to apprehend the LRA's top commanders and bring them to justice, and to bring about an end the group's two-decade campaign of atrocities and destabilization of the region, the administration said. President Obama announced the decision in an official notification letter to Congress Friday. In the letter, Obama said that he had sent the initial team of armed U.S. combat troops to Uganda on Oct. 12. He explained that the rest of the roughly 100 military advisers would be deployed over the next month to Uganda--as well as to the neighboring countries of South Sudan, Democratic Republic of Congo, and the Central African Republic.

^ This is a very bad move. The US is already fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan and has troops all over the world. We should not get involved in Uganda, South Sudan, DR Congro or the Cenral African Republic. It starts out as sending advisors and then becomes another Vietnam. I don't see why the EU, the African Union and other countries around the world can't step in and do this. ^
