OBAMA PULLS ANOTHER FAST ONE BY BARBARA SIMPSON - WORLD NET DAILY

It never ceases to amaze me what a bunch of cowards populate Congress. They're so concerned with their own backsides, their re-election and the power it brings that they allow the rape of our Constitution and our country and use the lives of our finest young people as pawns in the political game.

It's easy to forget that what leaders do affects not only their own country but the world as well.

Headlines speculate about Vladimir Putin – the once, and now seemingly always – leader of the new/old Russia/Soviet Union.

First he's president, then he's not; now he is. What will he do, when and why, and how will it affect international politics and strategic alliances?

For those who know history, things don't look good.

It's too bad the same scrutiny isn't paid to Barack Obama and how he uses the U.S. presidency as his own personal, political playground. Never one to let the Constitution get in his way, if there's something he wants, he does it and Obama has done it again.

In a predictable Friday information news dump – the perfect time to release important news yet miss decent news coverage because of weekend deadlines – Obama is getting us into what promises to be another military quagmire across the globe, all in the name of humanitarian efforts.

Obama announced he's decided to send 100 fully-armed, U.S. Special Forces to Uganda to assist locals in disarming the dissident Lord's Resistance Army and its cult-like leader, Joseph Kony.

The LRA is a violent, anti-government insurgency that's has spread fear, bloodshed and death among civilians of several countries for more than 20 years. It stands accused of gross human rights violations as a terrorist organization.

Obama didn't ask Congress or meet with Congress about his decision. He just sent a letter to House Speaker John Boehner telling him about it, apparently, hoping Boehner would spread the word.

The Associated Press reported that before Obama sent the letter, he briefed human rights activists about his plan and that their officials were encouraged.

How nice. He makes the decision, tells outside interests first, then he deigns to tell Congress.

Talk about skewed priorities!

Someone please tell this man he was elected to be president of the United States and he has a legal obligation to put American citizens first in his decisions that will affect the country for years to come.

The rationale for the move – according to his letter – is that the deployment "furthers U.S. national security interests and foreign policy and will be a significant contribution toward counter LRA efforts in central Africa."

Keep in mind, this move – whether for political reasons or ulterior motives involving oil and mineral rights – involves more than Uganda.

A quick look at the minimal U.S. news coverage, it would appear the troops will only be in Uganda.

Not so.

The first small group of troops arrived in Uganda on Wednesday – before the letter to Congress was delivered – and the Los Angeles Times reports the rest will be sent to South Sudan, the Central African Republic and the Democratic Republic of Congo over the next month.

Supposedly, the troops will act as "advisers" and while they'll be fully armed, they will not shoot unless fired upon.

Whew, that's a relief!

(Column continues below)

According to Pentagon spokesman George Little, "This effort is specifically an extension of the Lord's Resistance Army Disarmament and Northern Uganda Recovery Act of 2009 which Obama signed into law on May 25, 2010. Until recently, the required forces were not available to fulfill this requirement."

Wow! It took two years for us to put together 100 Special Forces troops to do this.

Who ever heard of that law? Must have been another Friday news dump that got lost in the mix. How lucky for Obama.

The BBC reported in November 2010 that former U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs Witney Schneidman said, "You're not going to see U.S. boots on the ground."

It's another administration scam; boots are on the ground, and more will be.

Sen. John McCain expressed "regret" Obama didn't consult with Congress. He recalled "how past military deployments intended to further worthy humanitarian goals – resulted in tragedies that we never intended or expected."

Vietnam, anyone? Blackhawk Down?

As for Obama, it adds up to another "w-a-r," but he'd never admit it.

It's a good thing he isn't a white, male, Republican president named Bush or the wrath of the media would be on him for getting us into another military encounter.

Let's see, where are we now? It's so easy to lose track – Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, then there was Egypt, and Syria is stirring, and Obama is threatening Iran.

Yeah, it's easy to lose track and it's so-o-o-o-o-o confusing.

On one hand, Obama wants the military budget cut, a reduction in the number troops and massive cuts in armaments.

That means a smaller, less well-equipped military with reduced objectives.

On a practical level, that's the only way to see it, but then the Obama administration has never been accused of being practical – or logical – or even honest.

Note that Obama didn't set a time limit on this deployment, so it's not surprising that the BBC was told by a U.S. military spokesman that the "forces are prepared to stay as long as necessary to enable regional security forces to carry on independently."

Uh-oh. One-hundred combat troops in four countries for HOW LONG?

I don't know who's more stupid – the American people for accepting this nonsense, Congress for allowing itself to be jacked around by the White House, or Barack Obama who seems intent on the destruction and humiliation of the country that elected him?

You decide.

This guy is so arrogant he's running the country like a tyrant. What is even more amazing is that Obama has violated the Constitution so many times and not ONE person in Congress has called for an investigation or impeachment.

Well where I am at, as a permanent and total disabled American adult, I write and I discuss with as many people as possible. If the liberals who were against Bush were not just a bunch of hippocrates, they would be opposed to Obama. But considering that they are nothing more than a mouth piece bought and paid for by the Liberal Democrats they will not bite the hand of the ones who feed them and give them money. I would suggest before you refer to someone as just 'sitting in their lazyboy and on their laurels' that you think first and find out more about them.

He's got a capital D behind his name..... That makes all his moves ok with those liberal groups. Not much intelectual integrity there!!! I keep waiting on Wendy Sheehan to show her ugly face and challenge this admin like she did the past one!!

there exactly where you are at: in your lazyboy, sitting on your laurels, waiting for someone else to do the protesting....

(im not bashing you-- Im just voicing the sad and obvious truth...)

I'm not sitting on my laurels in my lazyboy.... I'M DOING MY JOB, WORKING HARD TO PROVIDE FOR MY FAMILY!!! I DON'T HAVE TIME TO SIT IN A PARK FOR MONTHS ON END PROTESTING!!!! So, I just protest here, and in letters to my congressman and senators and so forth but I am far from SITTING ON MY LAURELS!!!!

He is confusing the heck out of the republicans.......war is their game....believe it if they could impeach him.....they would be all over it........

AND I WOULD STAND AND CHEER!!!!

"I'm not sitting on my laurels in my lazyboy.... I'M DOING MY JOB, WORKING HARD TO PROVIDE FOR MY FAMILY!!! I DON'T HAVE TIME TO SIT IN A PARK FOR MONTHS ON END PROTESTING!!!! So, I just protest here, and in letters to my congressman and senators and so forth but I am far from SITTING ON MY LAURELS!!!!"

This is so cute!! I can't tell you exactly why, but this comment cracked me up. I have a question for you--When you aren't sitting on your laurels, where do you keep them? In the kitchen? In the linen closet? In the garage? How many laurels can one man collect in a year? I can't help laughing, so please forgive me if I am making you angry with my teasing. I think what's funny is that most of us never have a reason to refer to "my laurels" as though we actually had a bunch of them in stored in the attic or basement.

As to the kids in the parks emptying their vacant minds through their mouths, I think real adults, those of us who live in the real world, the one they know nothing about since it includes "W O R K," are not very patient with these empty-headed goofs. It is almost painful to watch them make such fools of themselves, and sadly, they will be trying to defend and justify themselves for this sheer stupidity for the rest of their lives. Someday when Fox News replays an old film clip showing them acting so stupidly in the park, and they have a teenager who sees it, that is when their very worst nightmare will really show up. It isn't the imaginary nightmares they talk about now that will come back to haunt them in the future, not by a long shot. When they have to explain themselves to their teenager, or even someday when they try to get a job, and they show up on the news again, and then they struggle to justify this behavior, and find that there is no justification for it, and try to blame it on the foolishness of youth, or the sheer ignorance of having nothing to do one boring autumn between semesters. And when they realize how disasterous this was for our country, and then they look their own questioning teenager in the eyes, they won't be able to find one single reason that is excuse enough for what they did in during this bright autumn of 2011. And when that "come-to-Jesus-moment" comes, that's when they will be forced to pray, "God, Help Me!! What have I done?"

And worst case scenario, the democrats are already foolishly trying to claim them and make them out to be the democratic version of the tea party. But the Tea party folks cleaned up after themselves and they didn't make public spectacles of themselves by defecating on other people's cars for all the world to see. The tea partiers sang patriotic songs and held hands and showed their children how powerful and wonderful it is to be an American. The democrats will be held accountable for the acts of desecration committed by these people, as well as the many things they, themselves, have done to screw up the lives of so many ordinary Americans. Soon, we will hold their feet to the fire, and they will know it.

I am glad to know that you are not only working to provide for your family, but also doing all you can to make our government aware that we are watching them, and that we know about the problems we face, many of which they caused. That's what I do, and I appreciate how much time and work it takes to stay focused on this and to be an effective voice in our country today. Obama is a piece of work, and he is so sneaky and underhanded that he, alone, needs a personal guard to watch and report on him daily.

At any rate, that's enough. I wish you and yours well. Take care. Keep up the good work. (And please don't be angry with me or offended because your reply made me laugh).

im partially disabled as well. I have been diagnosed with more garbage than i would ever admit to. but i still work, walk, etc. but with some difficulty at times. There are others here in my City in Northern California that show up in wheelchairs, crutches, cains etc., to protest in front of city hall, for what it seems as of late, 'The Cause-de-jour.

I did not mean to bash you-its just that if you are going to dish it out-you need to be prepared to take it, as well, desimo.

I hope you have better and brighter days ahead of you...im sorry if i hurt you...i did not mean to....take care....

I am a Democrat and this makes me sick. I believe that if we are going to go to Uganda, that the President has a hidden agenda. That agenda may be to increase the National Debt Ceiling. Dang! Just what we need, more taxes. Wars need funding and what better way to do it.

[mojack]

This guy is so arrogant he's running the country like a tyrant. What is even more amazing is that Obama has violated the Constitution so many times and not ONE person in Congress has called for an investigation or impeachment.

Congress? Nothing will ever happen - ontime anyway. President has the power for a reason.

[gymrat76541]

I do not agree with the decision to send any troops into AFRICA

HOWEVER

The president does not need Congressional approved to send a small number of troops anywhere!

If their purpose is to train or observe then it is NOT declaring war on anyone.

I served 20 years in the US Army. I can not remember how many little deployments I went on in countries

not friendly with the USA.

It is so easy to throw rocks and take pot shots at EVERY decision the current administration makes.

[FishmanTx]

Can we spell I-M-P-E-A-C-H-M-E-N-T ? Write your Congress and Senate if you don't like it. Otherwise, you ARE sitting on your laurels!! The ONLY thing that gets their attention when they cover their arses is their constituancy screaming FOR action!!!!! Do your job as a citizen, not just some, but all of you. It's numbers that get attention. Fill their inboxes with grief over what he's doing.

Can't blame no one but yourselves if you don't speak up.......

Exactly FishermanTx! If you don't participate in writing and calling your Congressmen and women, you really shouldn't have the right to b!tch on here.Do it, call and write congress. That is where it matters.

I do all the time and have a membership with Numbersusa, it's free, where you can send faxes on things that you are concerned with, to all your representatives, for free. I've made donations to them for this privilege, it is well worth it. I've made calls as well. Please, people, let's get it together and let congress know how we feel.

Thanks you to all that actively participate.

I agree, more people need to participate. I write my congressman every week to tell him to get off his arse and propose something in the house to do something about JOBS! I told him last week to quit worrying about abortion and try to find people some JOBS! I also wrote my Senator to tell him to please help with the stupid fillibuster and please debate and see if there are some components of the Presidents JOBS bill they could get passed.

Sigh, unfortunately, all I hear from my congressman and Senator are crickets chirping. And the beat goes on.
