169. The LRA is pretty bad...
Edited on Sat Oct-15-11 12:49 PM by rayofreason
...but I don't get it.

Why should we send troops to do anything about the LRA? What can 100 soldiers, unfamiliar with the terrain, do to help chase down the LRA that has managed to survive for years? What U.S. national security interests and foreign policy will be furthered by this intervention?

This is the second puzzling thing out of the Administration, coming right on the heels of the Iranian assassination plot about which I have some well-founded skepticism.
