It's 30 minutes long but worth every minute.

[Havoc]

Doubt it.

[Kevlar]

Doubt it.

+1.

Well its already huge over here in the U.S.


Obama could make himself look good by taking this guy out, or in..

The link isn't clickable.
It's not worth the effort.

It's about capturing a war criminal by raising global awareness. I just don't see how raising global awareness will help arresting a warlord in Uganda.

[Havoc]

We should arrest the guy who killed Kriks cat by raising global awareness!

[Salander]

This happens everywhere. Kony isn't the first warlord to do this, but I do have to say the touch of him making the children kill their parents is nice. Feels like our very own action villain.

Don't know when this video is made but he already has.
Obama is sending around hundred armed soldiers to Africa to aid Central African joint ops in capturing Kony and his command chain.

In May 2010, U.S. President Barack Obama signed into law the Lord's Resistance Army Disarmament and Northern Uganda Recovery Act,[16] legislation aimed at stopping Kony and the LRA. The bill passed unanimously in the Senate on March 11, 2010 with 65 senators as cosponsors, then passed unanimously in the House of Representatives on May 13, 2010 with 202 representatives as cosponsors.

In November 2010, Obama delivered a strategy document to Congress, asking for more money to disarm Kony and the LRA.[17]

In October 2011, Obama authorized the deployment of approximately 100 combat-equipped U.S. troops to central Africa.[18] They will help regional forces “remove from the battlefield” Joseph Kony and senior LRA leaders. "Although the U.S. forces are combat-equipped, they will only be providing information, advice, and assistance to partner nation forces, and they will not themselves engage LRA forces unless necessary for self-defense," Obama said in a letter to Congress.

So yeah, it's not like anyone hasn't heard of him before.  I hope very much that when the time comes for Kony to get fucked up, this video isn't praised for it.
Even though it has all the heart and effort, and a bit over drama if you ask me, it has nothing to do with the military operations that have been on-going for the past decade.

In 2006, the United Nations mounted a covert operation to capture or kill Joseph Kony. A squad of U.S.-trained Guatemalan Special Ops soldiers set out into Congo's Garamba National Park, a longtime LRA refuge and the scene of the 2008–2009 Garamba offensive. Trained in jungle warfare and accustomed to surviving in the bush for long stretches, the Guatemalans were equipped with M-16s and the latest special-operations technology. Five LRA soldiers were killed and none of the Special Ops soldiers survived. According to one account, the commander of the Special Ops soldiers was beheaded. The battle, which lasted for several hours, included hand to hand combat. Reports put the U.N. dead at eight to forty. The LRA left the corpses in the jungle but took the weapons—including heavy machine guns and grenade launchers.

He sounds well protected, at least. Killing special forces and shit. I know what works against that. Some 155 mm Howitzers, a couple AC-130's and a whole lotta bomber planes. Just to finish it, you could nuke his damn hiding place. The US always likes to look like a savior and a hero, but puts too little effort and money in things like these, but rather in some damn desert/mountain/jungle occupied by guerilla forces.

Sounds like a real life DF overlord.

[Salander]

I say we make a movie about him. A Seal team gets put together to kill off this warlord who's terrorizing American freedoms or somethi--- Oh, wait.

[Kobrag]

Video is good. =[

Death to the LRA.

[Ravos]

I just watched the video and planned on making a similar topic until I saw this one.
It's worth every minute to watch. Half hour, hour, even two.

When I get my paycheck next week, I'm definitely putting money into the charity/foundation.

Hopefully people will learn from this about some of the other massive bastards that are rampaging around in plain sight.
