The Last, Lost Empire: 3rd Edition 2012
by Ted Becker

I’ll bet you didn’t know that President Obama has dispatched troops to Uganda in October and that their number will grow into a compact force to be deployed there, and in The Congo, South Sudan and “The Central African Republic”—wherever THAT is.  Right?  Well, here’s the isolated story from ABC News.

“Obama Sends 100 US Troops to Uganda to Help Combat Lord’s Resistance Army”

Bush after he polished off OBL when W couldn’t, with precise dispatch, boosting domestic militaristic pride, and trying to soothe wounded Pakistani sensitivities.  Then in a well scripted and well staged State Department setting, he dropped his “Cairo II” bomb.  It was a speech which he hoped would “reset” negotiation parameters to settle the Israeli-Palestinian dispute, widely understood to be a major contributor to the myriad Arab rebellions against autocracy in the spring of 2011.  WRONG!!
