While America occupies Iraq and Afghanistan,
wages covert war on Pakistan,
conducts drone attacks on Yemen and Somalia,
bombards Libya,
and positions for a wider confrontation with Iran and Syria,
Nobel Peace Prize Laurette President Obama has now quietly,
without much fanfare,
sent 100 US troops to help Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni
crush rebels threatening his 25-year dictatorship.
In what is essentially a “reverse-Libyan-style” intervention,
the US is sending troops to crush,
not assist
rebels rising up against their despotic ruler.
Ironically,
Uganda’s rebels are also listed as a foreign terrorist organization by the US State Department.
