"When a little boy is kidnapped, turned into a child soldier, forced to kill or be killed -- that's slavery," Obama said in a speech at the Clinton Global Initiative. "It is barbaric, and it is evil, and it has no place in a civilized world. Now, as a nation, we've long rejected such cruelty."But for the third year in a row, Obama has waived almost all U.S. sanctions that would punish certain countries that use child soldiers, upsetting many in the human rights community.

About Kate
Why this blog?
Until this moment
I have been forced
to listen while media
and politicians alike
have told me
"what Canadians think".
In all that time they
never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio - "You don't speak for me."

Similarly, the indoctrination of hate imposes a mental prescription of aggression like the grooves imprinted on an uncut record. Any such devious utilization of innocent youth is morally inexcusable, but then the perpetrators of such are never brought to account. Moreover, it is precisely the lack of personal accountability which is a root cause of our earth's man-made decay. This is a world deficient of conscience, and proponents of belief systems which harness brainwashing techniques while promoting the violent advancement of their perverted causes invite their own destruction via a mean-spirited exclusiveness.
Aren't little girls kidnapped to "serve" as well?
They don't count? Or is that "Indonesian upbringing" coming home to roost?
The current president's pronouncement has expired very long time ago.
It is void and forgotten at this time.
Since when has Obama cared about anyone who isn't him?
America,when you elected Obama, you got your "change",all right! Now,there's NO hope.
Obamba has lied about everything, his entire existence and relevance is built on them.
"No way, you guys are WRONG, and this news story must be WRONG! President Obama would NEVER sanction the use of child soldiers! This must all be some kind of evil Republican LIE!!!"
Shakeesha Washington, Obama supporter and ano-cranial inversion sufferer.
If a Republican president did this, it would of course be blasting from the MSM 24/7 about what an evil, heartless, unprincipled thug such a president was.
Democrat president? Not a peep. Buried on some obscure website and condemned to the blogosphere.
I genuinely fear Obama is going to win this election, because so much of America is already hopelessly corrupted by "free stuff", and so much of the rest is kept in the dark about what an awful president this man is. If he does win, historians decades from now will no doubt mark it as the final signal of the ultimate collapse of the United States as the "shining city on the hill" of the western world.
Good advice:
"When word and deed conflict, believe the action, EVERY SINGLE TIME."
PS: This crew's first instinct is to lie and obfuscate. Not a good sign.
It is not the USG's job to punish governments that use child soldiers. Sanctions rarely work and often retard progress to freedom.
LAS said: "It is not the USG's job to punish governments that use child soldiers."
That's true. But one would think the US would refrain from selling those slavers munitions. And the waivers issued by Barry are to allow said munitions to be sold to said slavers.
From the article:
"Late Friday afternoon, Obama issued a presidential memorandum waiving penalties under the Child Soldiers Protection Act of 2008 for Libya, South Sudan, and Yemen, penalties that Congress put in place to prevent U.S. arms sales to countries determined by the State Department to be the worst abusers of child soldiers in their militaries."
So while it may not be the USG's job to -punish- those countries, it is absolutely their job to decide who buys American military guns and ammo.
The eeeeevile Chimpy McBushitler signed that law, Barry just circumvented it. Again. Third year in a row.
So does Barry actually give a rat's asp about "a little boy kidnapped, turned into a child soldier, forced to kill or be killed"? Word and deed not matching up here. Even though, let us not forget, if Barry had a son he would look like that child soldier.
Why do you carry water for this chumpstick LAS? You have a thing for skinny narcissists?
