Barack- Got me a Nobel Peace Prize-Obama has just notified Congress (on the eve of Harry Reid shutting down the government) that the White House will again waive a US ban on aiding regimes that use children as soldiers.
The Child Soldiers Prevention Act waiver applies fully to Chad, South Sudan and Yemen.Congo and Somalia received partial waivers.
Obama first waived the provision in 2010. Samantha Power, then the National Security Council senior director for multilateral affairs and human rights, promised “at the time that the waivers would not become a recurring event,” as The Cable recalled.
“Our judgment was: Brand them, name them, shame them, and then try to leverage assistance in a fashion to make this work,” Power said. “Our judgment is we’ll work from inside the tent.”
Power is now the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.
Working inside the tent. Are we fetching them drinks and appetizers becasue I’d call this what it is; more foreign policy failure from the President Lead from behind.
Wait. Is that a fast and furious gun?
Quick, someone call New Jersey Child and Family Services.
