Pentagon says military deployment to Uganda ‘will not be open-ended’

A senior Pentagon official told a House panel Tuesday the U.S. military deployment to central Africa to combat the Lord’s Resistance Army will last months but vowed it “will not be an open-ended commitment.”

Obama administration and military officials envision a small U.S. deployment that “runs months,” Vershbow said, telling the lawmakers the administration will evaluate the effectiveness of the effort to boost regional forces in several months.

Vershbow first told the panel that the primary goal was to help U.S. partners in the region remove strongman Joseph Kony and other Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) leaders from the battlefield or capture them. Kony and LRA forces are accused of massacring civilians, including many children.

Under questioning from Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.), Vershbow later acknowledged that the mission could lead to Kony being “captured or killed.”

The need to ensure the U.S. troopers were ready and equipped to fight, if needed, led the White House to determine that it should comply with the War Powers Act by formally notifying lawmakers about the mission.

The White House did just that on Oct. 14, the day it publicly announced the deployment.

1. Viet Nam wasn't open ended. We lost and left.

2. Kony and LRA wouldn't know "humane" if it jumped in their lap. He seems like the epitome of evil on

earth.

I think a ICC trial for him would be fine. The testimony against him would be vomit & nightmare inducing.
