Depressed, Distracted President Orders US Combat Troops To Al Qaeda Hotbed of... Uganda

Not an Al Qaeda hotbed, as it turns out. The rebel movement, the "Lord's Resistance Army," is classified as a terrorist organization, but they're a Christian-cult militia terrorist organization which apparently attack the ruling government.

Am I saying terrorism is okay if you're Christian? No. I'm saying they don't attack us, and we seem to be fighting four or five wars at the moment.

The 100 troops will not just be in one country, either.

The forces will ultimately go to Uganda, South Sudan, the Central African Republic, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, with the permission of those countries.

I've never heard of these guys. I assume they're bad guys. I also assume, because I've never heard of them, they are incapable of threatening US interests.

So what's the deal?

Is Obama trying to win a second Nobel Peace Prize or what?
