Didn't Obama announce that he was sending troops to the area on the same day as when this particular Rush Limbaugh broadcast aired?
What difference does it make?
Lack of time to do research, considering that region hasn't exactly been front and center in the news...
What a weak sauce excuse. Boss Limbaugh clearly got the info for his hit job against Obama from an ABC article that MENTIONED the Lord's Resistance Army's atrocities. Intellectual laziness is no excuse for such an epic clusterf*ck.
Did the ABC article bother to mention what the other groups in the area (including governments of the area) were also committing attrocities.
You can keep parroting this but frankly you have yet to illustrate how the local governments are worse than the LRA or what should actually preclude US help to the people in the region (who are the ones who will ultimately benefit). You can't make the honest argument that the US should stay away because 100 advisers is too much of a commitment, or that the US is unwilling to work with dirty regimes (hint: there are no clean regimes. anywhere.) The whole reason this is such an uproar anyway is because Ursh Laughbo decided to try and paint Obama as helping Muslims over Christians. Which is B.S., because the US is helping Muslim regimes that are not friendly towards Christians elsewhere- such as Saudi Arabia, or basically any country in the Middle East, for that matter. Saudi Arabia gets billions in aid, is essentially a theocratic absolute monarchy, and I don't see you talking about the excesses of this regime. This issue is entirely provincial in its criticism, such small minded, internal politics. It is frankly irrelevant, and Limbaugh is a stupid f*****g s**t for brains moron
