Last October, President Barack Obama deployed 100 Special Forces troops to help eliminate Joseph Kony and the Lord’s Resistance Army.

EXCLUSIVE: African-American Guilt & Kony 2012

Obama sat down with ABC’s Jake Tapper and when asked why he decided to send troops to Uganda in an effort to oust Kony, the President said: 

“Those who are familiar with the Lord’s Resistance Army and their leader, Mr. Kony, know that these are some of the most vicious killers.

They terrorize villages, they take children into custody and turn them into child soldiers, they engage in rape and slaughter in villages they go through.

They have been a scourge on the Uganda and that entire region, eastern Africa.”

Now that Kony is in the news like never before thanks to the Invisible Children documentary Kony 2012, we need to revisit Obama’s interview on the LRA leader. Take a look.
