Last week the White House announced that 100 American combat troops would be deployed to central Africa. Their mission would be training and advising forces that are in conflict with the Ugandan Lord's Resistance Army. Some think the US is only asking for trouble getting involved in the ethnic war that has been going on for decades. Pepe Escobar, a correspondent for Asia Times, helps us understand why now.

1. K&R Great video with facts.

Thanks. Escobar is a good journalist. He once interviewed a friend in New Orleans. He is tireless in obtaining facts behind news stories.

4. RT has been doing incredibly good reporting on all that is going

on around the world. Plus they allow their guests to TALK, without interrupting them. Their interviews in depth and there are few if any commercial breaks.

So...Here we go again..
