We are sending troops to Africa?

[Joey Liberal]

A friend at work who is in the reserves just got called back to active duty, and is going to be deployed to Africa, of all places. What the fuck is Bush up to know?

2. Africa?

There should be peace keepers in Darfur, but so far there hasn't been a UN resolutin or any American committment to get involved.....

Did I miss something?

3. We probably own

some base in some African dictatorship that we support. I don't think it's anything serious.... Although I could be wrong.

4. It is probably to Djibouti

We've had troops stationed there for sometime (a few hundred) --

Here's a BBC article on the deployment.

5. When you find out which country, let us know. My bet is that the US will

soon be involved in Nigeria, for oil.

6. I don't care if there is oil - thousands should not be raped just because

they need firewood. What took them so dam ****ing long?

At the the Great Hypocracists decided they had to live with themselves on this one. Finally. Too bad manifest destiny too all the world's resources away from Sudan for 2 years. 300,000 people later...
