The United Nations Security Council voted to deploy a 3,000 man fighting force to Congo in order to combat rebel forces. What are they fighting over? It must be something important for us to deploy forces; they must have crossed a “red line,” and used WMD, right? Oh no, not anything as grand as that, it’s all about a little sparkly beauty called the conflict diamond, and now our tax money is being used to fight a War we don’t belong in, and in the vast Jungles and Rain Forest of the Congo, no less!
In what is being called a precedent-setting move, the United Nations Security Council voted to deploy a fighting force to the Congo in order to combat rebel forces, who are battling for control of diamond industry deposits and other mineral resources, including gold, copper and coltan, the Daily Mail reports.

The 3,000-strong UN task force may represent the first time in the organization's history that an offensive force has been authorized to battle a rebel army. South African, Tanzanian and Malawian soldiers will fight under the blue UN flag, commanded by a Brazilian general.
Of course, there won’t be the liberal-media outcry from the left over this, like there was when Bush started the 100-day Gulf War over what they believed was for oil, even though we get the bulk of our oil from Canada; instead of that madman encroaching on their land and threatening our allies! Where was the UN when Syria or Turkey were in trouble? Yes, selective intervention; Blood Diamonds, appropriately named.
