President Obama is sending about 100 special forces troops to central Africa to help target the leadership of the Lord's Resistance Army, a notorious militia that has been raping and pillaging in the remote jungles of northern Uganda and neighboring countries for more than two decades.
In a letter notifying Congress on Friday, Obama said the goal of the

Sam Worthington, president of InterAction, an alliance of nongovernmental groups, said there was a clear need to stabilize the region, and he noted that the Ugandan government requested this intervention.

He said that ultimately the problem would require the political collaboration of the governments in the region.
Obama, in his letter to Congress, said that "although the

After three years of incremental assistance to the Ugandan government, including the presence of some unarmed counter-terrorism advisors, the White House made the decision to ramp up its efforts in an attempt to take out Kony and end his reign of terror in the area, said a U.S. intelligence official who spoke on condition of anonymity.
"If we are going to do this, let's not do it half-assed. Let's go in and try to wipe this guy out," the official said.
The Green Berets will work with regional armies to help protect people in isolated hamlets who have been preyed upon by the militia. The plan is, among other things, to help track the movements of the guerrillas and share intelligence from communications intercepts and satellite imagery.

One Senate aide said he expected Congress to be divided on the intervention, with some members concerned that the mission could expand if its limited objectives were not accomplished quickly.
"It is essential for the president to consult with Congress about any deployment of our military forces into harm's way. I regret that this was not done," said Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.).
The act that set the mission in motion had substantial congressional support, including 201 cosponsors in the House and 64 in the Senate.
There was some immediate support from Congress for the White House decision.
Rep. Jeff Fortenberry (R-Neb.) praised the move, saying it "may save innocent lives."
