    in the congo?

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam_in_the_Republic_of_the_Congo

    the muslim population in Uganda is also relatively small.

    The LRA might loosely identify as christian - but it is not about religion.

    you have to wonder about propagandists who tell lies to promote hatred of one group over another ...

    kind of reminds me of someone from 1930's Germany ..

    and the gullible believers - including many posters here - remind me of the people who were willing to either murder, or stand by and allow the murder, of millions of innocent people - based on those lies.

    Holy shiat.. this is amazing.. rightwing idiots are trying to say that the LRA isnt a terrorist organization.. because they dont target the U.S

    .... trying to say that the U.S invaded Libya.. when it was the U.N that sanctioned the bombing..the U.S is part of the U.N. Obama played that like a freakin virtuoso..

    he took the miserable flailings of the Rightwing Neo-con retards .. tuned up the process and finished off what they couldnt.. in two wars.. plus he used all the tools at his disposal and surgically removed an uncooperative government for the cost of 1 billion dollars and no U.S troops. Rightwingers are too stupid to realize Obama is a much better Neo-con rightwinger than anybody in their party of slobbering idiots.

    This just goes to show how far off the deep end todays conservative has gone. ... put Obama back in Reagans day and his actions as POTUS would make him a republican legend... today.. he is mistakenly regarded as a socialist by the drooling selfserving mob the modern fringe rightwing has become.

    most of their arguments have no substance.

    One thing I would like to add is that Rush Limbaugh is not a stupid man. He is a hypocrite, a rabble rouser, he is a destructive parasite who thrives on exploiting free speech to the detriment of the country who defends that right.

    Rush Limbaugh will say anything that will garner him the attention of the morbidly stupid fanbase he has cultivated. He is no better than a crack dealer... doesnt care about what he destroys or who he hurts. He is a perfect mouthpeice to a political party that is willing to destroy this country in order to gain back power.

    If this is the United States with Repugnicans in charge of just congress... I shudder to think of theocratic tyrannical police state it will become if they get control of the Oval Office as well.

    I think the greater tragedy is that many people appear to accept an idiot's ramblings-on a radio show-as informed political commentary! He is an odious jerk without an ounce of credibility.

    The LRA have nothing really to do with religeon. The title was used in an attempt to gain support and recruits from within the Congolese and Ugandan people, both of whom tend to be very devout christians.
    I reality they are led by war lords who are all about $$$. The same as most are in other countries. They are probably worse than other groups because of there previous success. They turned the entire central african region into a war zone.
    The area is now slowly recovering, but the people have been terribly scared. Not just physically but mentally. We recently had a helicopter in the NE of DRC where i am now and it frightened the people so much that they ran into the forest and hid for days thinking it was another attack.
    It is a crying shame the way the country has been left. The people are some of the nicest, most polite and cheerful i have ever come across. But years of war and fear has left the people in dire need. Peace is vital if this region which should be very weathly is to recover. If 100 troops can help that, then it is positive

    Indeed, just perfected.

    Sadly, I feel it might take some kind of horrific tragedy along those lines and on our own shores in order to wake some people up.

    I fear you are right.

    I also think the most likely scenario will be a civil war.

    There will be blood. No way to avoid it now. It will be a bad thing. But at least leftists will be unable to impose their agenda on us.

    like all civil wars, it will be fought over issues that could be resolved if people were prepared to listen to the others point of view, and work towards a solution.

    when you say "at least leftists ... blah blah blah ..."

    you are part of the problem.

    others would kill to have what you have.

    you on the other hand are prepared to throw away what you have for some vague ideological beleifs.

    Now if Bush had sent troops over there to remove the muslims, you and your pals would be crapping your pants and crying while calling Bush a warmonger and we should not be intervening in a civil war. Sick hypocrites.

    The Left will back down when word comes from Leos & Military that their Socialist Agenda will not be forcefully imposed on the rest of America and the SCOTUS fails them.

    I know leftism. I've lived under leftist governance almost my entire adult life. The experience has taught me that compromise with leftists is impossible. They will not accept coexistence. Consequently, I have been totally radicalized.

    So radicalized that the only thing that matters now is preventing leftism from succeeding. All considerations are subordinate to that objective. I understand that this means the end of the polity. That works. There is simply no way leftists can defeat this approach.

    :lol:

    You must "destroy your country in order to save it", eh?

    Its an old excuse for murder that many have used, McVeigh certainly must be a hero for you! But why fight such a big battle? Why not go to a more suitable country for yourself and work with people who would welcome you with open arms?!

    The LRA is always looking for recruits!

    No can do. Without me you would be missing a Fifth Column. Between me and Jeremiah Wright the country doesn't stand a chance.

    I understand why Hamas won't make peace with Israel. That's the way I feel about leftists.

    Before one can claim that Rush Limbaugh says stupid things, you have to show that this was not just a one-off mistake, and that the rest of his reporting is not solid, factually-based and well-reasoned.

    Let us take the case of Abu Ghraib. Perhaps you don't remember that one because it showed the soft underbelly of discipline disasters in the US military? Here is a refresher for those with selective memory filters. And here is what Mr Limbaugh said about it:

    "Now, don't you feel like a dopey dittohead for letting a little outbreak of prisoner sadism bug you? These were just boys and girls blowing off steam during a stressful situation. Let's not make an international incident out of it, for crying out loud."

    What a ditz!! And the US courts agreed with that conclusion. 17 soldiers and officers were removed from duty and a Brigadier-General was demoted to Colonel. Here's more 'realism' from Ditz Limbaugh:

    "I don't understand what we're so worried about."

    At the time I had no access to the internet at home, so I was dependent on an internet café. I regularly spotted young Moroccan guys checking the web on Abu Ghraib and looking at pictures of prisoners prone on the ground with some whisp of a female US MP holding onto the leash around his neck.

    So you don't understand what we are so worried about, Rush? It shows your utter lack of realism. So you think seeing these pictures makes these young men more inclined to undertake constructive dialogue with the west, or more likely to join Al Queda and others like it? You don't get the worry!!??

    Now here's the REALLY scary bit. The Rush Limbaugh Show is aired throughout the U.S. on Premiere Radio Networks and is the highest-rated talk-radio program in the United States according to Wiki. So with this and Fox News, vast numbers of red-neck 'Murkans get their 'truth' about the world? Oy vey!! No wonder they are so pitifully informed.

    Hitting the nail on the head again, Skeptic. Well done.
    Red-neck 'Murkans will be less impressed. They see little difference between being invited to assist and invasion, as we have seen on numerous occasions since the reign of Ronnie 'the Gunslinger' Reagan and by the Bush family.

    Why does the Islamic world hate us so much? What have we ever done to them to deserve this. Perhaps Fox News should ante-up and offer some history. Like that of Mossadegh in 1953.

    Then who would keep lending it money to support itself? The US would crater.
