Ugandan rebels bad? First, they are not rebels. They are a large criminal gang that is using heavy weapons to destroy what they cannot steal. Think of Al Capone with tanks. They have also been around for years and every country over there has tried to deal with them but they do not have the equipment to track them down. We do.

The area the LRA is trying to control is also rich in Rare Earth metals and oil.

Obama is doing what he took an oath to do: Protect US interests around the world. It is all just a part of the job.
