because the fuel that we are getting from uganda and kenya.o i was in juba, just to be honest, you know, you cannot get fuel even if you have $100 in your pocket to try to fuel your car. there was no fuel because of the election violence in kenya. so it is not only making sure that the neighboring countries are stable, but also even the neighboring countries it is in our interest. that is why we are actually involved in making sure the lra and the government of uganda have an agreement so that we can have peace in the whole region. not only in southern sudan, but in the whole region. and we are even helping in trying to make sure that they can solve their differences so that east africa can be a peaceful nation. because we are peaceful people. uganda they have been hosting us. we never had any problems. i've been there as a refugee, i enjoyed many of my relatives that are there in uganda and kenya, also in ethiopia. so we have benefited a lot, and the economic viability is -- [inaudible] in east africa. we have joined east africa long time ago

uganda was arguing a little bit. you had rwanda looking over what was happening in zimbabwe. it's so interremelated that a special envoy should not only deal with the problems of the congo, but to be able to coordnate, as a matter uganda was a recipient of a terrorist attack because uganda was assisting in somalia with their troops to protect the government of shaikh -- and without the ugandan troops there the situation would be much worse. well, that's all connected. that at the world cup game, uganda suffered the loss of 20-some of their citizens by al shabaab planting a bomb as people were simply watching the world cup because they were ugandan troops helping in somali. so it's all so connected that it seems it would certainly make a lot of sense that we do have an envoy especially to deal with the drc, but also to have the -- the surrounding countries they're involved in. the fact that so many -- and the tragedy of the congo, as i mentioned earlier with king leopold and houtcountry was just devastated and then once they decided to move forward, the -- the conspiracy of th

countries being run by terrorists we're workroom and always including president yoweri museveni in uganda and president talking in rwanda so the argument that obama made that this is a work we're warlord run running a country is just nonsense well i think i i don't really buy the whole war for oil argument because if you look at what happened for what iraq for example i mean i think even the most hardened neo con can see that that whole invading a country for the resources just doesn't work on and it takes you know the pottery barn rule right you break it you pay for it by the time you actually get the operations up and running you don't really have very much to make money off i don't know if i have if i really buy that so what is it lucy do you think that it's about selling defense weapons or testing new weapons in the united states army or they get all the what is called the tough f. twenty two they haven't seen anything about those being deployed they are definitely testing new weapons at this very moment this is just another american on illegal. this cleared it to adventure checking p
