... in the Obongo years:
The action:
"In January, the New York Times' Jeffrey Gettleman broke the story that the U.S. military had helped plan and fund a Ugandan military attack against an infamous rebel group, the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA), in eastern Congo."The outcome (surprise, surprise! ... the usual all time tradition of stupidity)
"The attack was poorly executed, allowing the rebel leaders to escape and murder 900 civilians in retaliation."The motives:
"The LRA's religious fundamentalist leader, Joseph Kony, has abducted tens of thousands of children to serve as fighters and sex slaves in his decades-long guerrilla war against the Ugandan government."It is the "sex slaves" of course the part that made the gringos to bark. If the kids were just slaves or child soldiers, it wouldn't matter.
Rest in the link.
