#1 I'm sure this is the remains of all that aid and assistance the Katrina people refused! Albeit FEMA getting ready to slam the door anyway!

#2 1. what does it have to do with genocide - the way to stop more genocide is to put the UN troops on the gound, Fred. What does the food aid have to do with it? well it would be silly to go to a lot of trouble to stop these people being murdered, and then let them starve before they can return to their villages.

2.Bashir's already caved. With an agreement signed it will be even harder for the Chinese to veto anything. No Bashir didnt want it, but he faced reality.

3. Some of the rebels. Enough so we can go to the UNSC and say, here, the deals done, now cough up the troops. It doesnt really matter if the Judean Peoples Liberation Front is still holding out for more jobs.

4.Clooney? No. But the entire coalition, maybe. Recall the coalition to save Darfur included evangelicals, part of Bush's base. It wasnt all peacenik-lefties. Or even mainly peacenik lefties. (the DC rally resembled a Jewish youth group convention, leavened by blacks, a few lefties, a very few white evangelicals, and some Falun Gong folks)

#3 In other news, we threw a canteloupe melon into our compost heap. The difference is, the canteloupe has a chance of being productive.

#4 I wonder how many of the aid delivery people are going to look like OldSpook when he only had half as many medals? ;-)
