(Before It's News)

 

On October 3, 2008, President George W. Bush signed into law “Child Soldiers Prevention Act of 2008,” a law that made it a federal crime to recruit or use soldiers under the age of 15. The law also gave the United States authority to “prosecute, deport or deny entry to individuals who have knowingly recruited children as soldiers.”
 
The bipartisan law, which was passed unanimously by both houses of Congress, drew the applause of several international human rights organizations
 
Sunday afternoon, President Obama signed a Presidential memorandum, stating the following:
“I hereby determine that it is in the national interest of the United States to waive the application of the prohibition in section 404(a) of the CSPA [Child Soldiers Prevention Act of 2008] with respect to Libya, South Sudan, and Yemen…  and the issuance of licenses for direct commercial sales of U.S. origin defense articles; and I hereby waive such provisions accordingly.”
 
 
The pictures side by side says it all.  Thanks for nothing Mr. President.  Hope? what hope?  This is something you definately will not see in the mainstream media.  I suggest then you make this go viral.  #ObamaLovesChildrenSoldiers.  Obama is a disgrace to this prize and so are the people who gave it to him.  The Nobel Peace Prize no longer holds the luster it once did. -Mort
