US gives up on Iraq and Afpak, invades Uganda instead

Not that we're done with Iraq or Afghanistan or Pakistan. No, by all accounts we're losing, losing, and losing.

None of the losing is going to convince the Pentagon brain trust that we shouldn't be spreading our magic even farther afield. Ever since they created the AfriCom military command center they've been chomping at the bit to see action in Africa. Libya was the trial run. We've almost won Libya. Almost. So let us set our sights on greater glory. Uganda.

I had no idea Uganda even had oil, and I read up on this shit quite a lot. Didn't see this one coming at all. Thought we were tied down and busy busy busy with the wars we bit off already.

Not so, apparently. Nope, there's bad people in Uganda, and we're gonna get 'em.

And there's nothing like a spot of foreign adventure to take the eye off all the domestic issues.
