US sends combat troops to Uganda

Barack Obama, the US president, has announced he is sending combat troops to Uganda to help efforts against rebels of the Lord's Resistance Army, who Washington accuse of grievous human rights abuses.

A force of 100 trainers and advisers will take part in the hunt for Joseph Kony, one of central Africa's most brutal rebel leaders.

Many are questioning as why the US, already involved in two long wars, would commit its forces to this mission.

Al Jazeera's Anand Naidoo reports from Washington.

@sittingbull706 What did you think militaries were made for dance crews and kissing each other? Murder will always be in war, and seeing by your attitude towards Americans it appears that you have no respect for yourself and you are insecure about yourself. You blame modern Americans for what has happened in the past? Don't blame us blame the Europeans, they are the reason we exist otherwise don't say anything. People like you add up hatred and evil in this world leading to never ending hell.

@sittingbull706 I love the fact you call me ignorant when you can't even spell ARE. You can't call them "Children of Satan" because if you actually did mean it then you are one yourself. Also we didn't take Africans and just made them slaves they were sold to us. Many countries have a history of slavery so don't bring up slavery as a comeback to your argument. Destruction? Do you realize how many countries we have saved and helped? The history we have made?

@bedvd01 No YOU r ignorant. i dnt hate "America". I like the land, the scenery, the weather in certain places. Its the Children of Satan who walk those lands that i have a problem with. Why would i be JEALOUS of a nation that exterminated its TRUE indigenous owners then built itself on the backs of African slavery & destruction ? This nation is illegitimate and isn't worthy of any inter-national reverence or admiration. And to top things off It uses its military to murder, subjugate, & exploit.

@sittingbull706 You only hate America due to ignorance and jealousy. You are probably some low life who stays in his house all day hating on a country that you aren't forced to live in. You should stop blaming America for your own problems. Please fix your unpleasent attitude you are embaressing your parents because it seems they have failed in discplining you and teaching you integrity and respect.

THe girl that is talking in the beginning of the video knows nothing OIL is in iraq not in UGANDA, kony is in UGANDA BITCH thats why u.s forces are comming to kick up his ass!

[Xerxes845]

Fuck this. There's little oil to be found in Uganda. While the motives may not have been clear, I don't think it's right to say it's because of oil. Greetings from South Africa. The US shouldn't be made the scapegoat of the world.
