Nobel Peace Prize Winner Starts Fifth War
Apparently deciding one ongoing, undeclared war was not enough, our president of peace has committed 100 U.S. soldiers to central Africa to fight the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA). That announcement came Friday, two days after deployment. In a letter to House Speaker John Boehner on Friday, Barack Obama wrote “the U.S. forces are combat-equipped,” but — not to worry — “they will only be providing information, advice, and assistance to partner nation forces, and they will not themselves engage LRA forces unless necessary for self-defense.” The president asserted that his action was taken in “furtherance of the Congress’s stated policy,” citing the LRA Disarmament and Northern Uganda Recovery Act of 2009, which encourages greater “military” cooperation to defeat the LRA. However, he concluded, “I have directed this deployment, which is in the national security and foreign policy interests of the United States, pursuant to my constitutional authority to conduct U.S. foreign relations and as Commander in Chief and Chief Executive.” This has some questioning whether this is a second war-by-decree, following the still-simmering conflict in Libya.
Ironically, Obama closed the letter, “I am making this report as part of my efforts to keep the Congress fully informed, consistent with the War Powers Resolution” — an act he is currently violating in Libya.
No, the intervention does not mean Obama is actively targeting Christians for death — although we already did that in our intervention to subject Christian Serbia to the tender mercies of Muslim Kosovars. However, some find the hand of George Soros’ internationalists behind the intervention. Aaron Klein at WND.com notes:
In April 2010 Soros’ International Crisis Group, or ICG, released a report sent to the White House and key lawmakers advising the U.S. military run special operations in Uganda to seek Kony’s capture…
Soros sits in the ICG’s executive board along with Samuel Berger, Bill Clinton’s former national security advisor; George J. Mitchell, former U.S. Senate Majority Leader who served as a Mideast envoy to both Obama and President Bush; and Javier Solana, a socialist activist who is NATO’s former secretary-general as well as the former foreign affairs minister of Spain.
Jimmy Carter‘s national security advisor, Zbigniew Brzezinski, is the ICG’s senior advisor.
The ICG’s president emeritus is Gareth Evans, who, together with activist Ramesh Thakur, is the original founder of the Responsibility to Protect doctrine, with the duo even coining the term “responsibility to protect.”
