0.o how much did 9 hours of not-fucking cost him?

Obviously I'm not OP, but I will attempt to answer your question from the context of his past answers and my own perspective.

The problem with IC is they're only really advocating Kony's capture. That seems to be the extent of their stated mission. But unfortunately, Uganda and Central Africa have much much bigger problems than the LRA. Uganda is a nation with prevalent poverty, almost zero industrial capability, and a disproportionately large military. Their "president" is a lieutenant general who has been in power since taking it in 1986.

So in terms of watering down, IC implies that Kony's capture would revolutionize the region in some manner. This Don't seem likely, they have much larger problems than a nearly insignificant megalomaniac.

I posit that if Uganda genuinely wanted Kony captured he would already be in custody. His continued fugitive status gives the corrupt Ugandan government pretense to intrude on their neighbors and plunder resources.

If one really wanted to help Uganda and the rest of Central Africa ascend from the third world rung, they would invest in businesses that seek to utilize the abundance of natural resources while paying a fair share to the locals.

In my honest opinion, Kony's capture would do little to aid this region, but prove to strain tensions further between Uganda and The Congo.

Despite the fact that he's an evil motherfucker.

EDIT: a bit of spelling

The US Army troops are, as you noted, "helping" in the hunt. They themselves are not hunting him, but aiding the Ugandan military units who allegedly seek Kony. Our guys do not command, in the end, all calls are made by Ugandan military officers. I am incredibly doubtful that the Ugandans actually have any desire to capture him.

Kony provides a pretense for Uganda to intrude on their neighbors and do nefarious things.

Its a matter of semantics. In the United States for instance, the government is controlled by the citizenry. Through that interface certain members of the citizenry (i.e. president, SecDefense, SecState) can control and command the military.

So, theoretically, the US military and US government are separate, but one funds and organizes the other.
