Why has the President sent troops to Uganda?

We're supposed to believe that an African country with a stable government, an army, marines, air force and national defense group, with over 800,000 young people turning 18 each year can't beat back a rag tag band of terrorists numbering 500-3,000 calling itself The Lord's Resistance Army.

Only 100 troops you say? That's all Kennedy sent to VietNam in 1961--fifty years ago. From little acorns. . .

Could be:

Oil

Minerals (80 something)

Wag the dog, pt. 4

Something even more sinister

or

Just because he can.
