Barack Obama's adoption of the "Responsibility to Protect" justification for bombing Libya will create problems. Not only will this lead -- and has led to attacks against Israel and calls for international intervention in the conflict between Palestinians and Israelis -- but it also has the potential of being applied in a form of lawfare against America.
When we engage militarily in other nations, civilian casualties are inevitable, especially since terrorists hide among civilian populations. There is one influential group that has been in the forefront of efforts to promote the idea that the international community is obligated to take measures (including military ones) to protect civilians. That group is the Global Center for the Responsibility to Protect. Lo and behold! George Soros's Open Society Institute is one of the two foundations that bankroll this advocacy group (the other, the John D. and Catherine MacArthur Foundation - a group that has, over the years, become known not just for its Genius Awards but also for its funding of left-leaning groups. It is headed by a former State Department official and we know how many of those diplomats think).
Soros, as I have also pointed out , has ties to Samantha Power-Obama's influential foreign policy adviser and one of the key people responsible for Obama's decision to attack Libya under the Responsibility to Protect rationale.

Amazing how it all comes together so neatly in the end...
President Obama sought the approval of the Arab League and the international community before launching military attacks on Libya. He did not seek Congressional approval. This chronology illustrates his pattern of outsourcing our foreign policy to other nations and multilateral groups

We are just that good and we know it.As to the darkness it is a part of me as I chose the life of a warrior.
One cannot fully realize that type of effort without knowing how to be dark inside.Its just a measure of the man how he handles it.
But better us than someone who would be destroyed or driven insane by the face of war.
Its bad enough that it exists,but we don't make the orders ourselves we just have to execute them.

Units from a US Army brigade will soon begin training Kenyan troops as part of a major expansion of American military capabilities throughout Africa.

This is what is known as a tripwire op.
These people take a hit and that justifies more troops to show up to protect them.
There is NO WAY they need to set up a drone point that far forward.
That's kind of dark.. Do you think said troops know this fact?
Seems very Benghazi ish..
