7. do you understand the term projection?
Edited on Fri Oct-29-10 06:17 PM by northernlights
Projection is when you accuse someone else of doing what you, yourself, are doing. I am not, nor do I, support making soldiers of children. I am not projecting my beliefs or actions onto Obama.

"...tribal militias mobilised by the government to fight Shia Houthi rebels in the north have recruited 14-year-olds, the White House memo says."

"In Sudan, where citizens will vote on possible secession between north and south in 2011, the US government funds military education for the Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA) - the southern Sudanese armed forces - and prohibiting funding would "preclude the ability to deliver critical training necessary to professionalize the SPLA".

As of December, the memo says, the SPLA included around 1,200 children - both boys and girls aged between 12 and 17 years old."



Note who's memo that is. I am not the white house, nor am I in or anywhere near the white house. This is the from the White House, not from me.


And yes, the RNC has called this indefensible. I agree. This is not a game to me. I do not side with "my team, right or wrong. This is one off those rare occasions when I agree with the RNC. So shoot me :shrug:
