as we police the world yet again, you have to wonder where is our compelling strategic interest ... in Uganda

Will Rogers once famously quipped that the US would send the Marines to any country that could get twenty people together to ask for them.

Obviously President Barack Obama is a fan of the Will Rogers Doctrine.

100 Green Berets are referred to as the "first wave" of US troops hitting Uganda.

Think back ... when the Obama administration created Africacom, they told us that it was primarily for use in supporting development, gathering intelligence, and improving logistics.

That facade lasted only a few months before we involved ourselves in military operations in Somalia.

Exactly who thought this was a good idea now?
