#1 ABC news had a story on Darfur last night. Said the US has finally recognized it as genocide! No mention of the UN at all or even the EU. Implied that the US let it happen. I almost threw a shoe through the TV. Jennings pisses me off even more than Dan "what's the frequency, Kenneth" Rather. I want to hear some wailing and gnashing of teeth when W wins.

#2 We'll investigate. That should teach 'em a lesson, but good!

#3 I think that Powell's statements that Darfur is, indeed, a genocidal effort were sweet. Directly refuting the EU twinkie who said that the murder spree didn't "qualify as genocide" just a week ago.

Now, while the diplos dither over Powell's remarks, Bush will gather the steam to act - unilaterally again - and prolly follow the suggestions many have posted here.

I do so love the smell of fried bureaucrat in the morning, lol!

#6 Keep investigating and sooner or later all those pesky natives and Christian will starve to death. That should fix the problem - NOT!

#7 It's such a sad and hopeless situation that I find myself wanting to look away.

The Latte Left should be so completely ashamed of their silence on this issue. It hasn't seemed to enter their radar due to "nuance" that only an idiot can understand.

When they can somehow pin this on Bush, Sudan's atrocities will get full coverage and need immediate resolution. If Kerry wins, they will be content to let the black on black killing continue without mention.

#8 Spot-ABC, if they were unbiased, should have followed it with a soundbite from our beloved and ethical partners in the UN asserting that it isn't genocide. ABC can't do that though; that would be switching teams in mid-game.

I wrote the BBC website in July that the world might finally get off its collective a** and do something about Darfur by October (ie, too late). I was wrong, of course. They aren't doing anything; they're just talking, as usual.

Could someone pass the creme and the fall agenda, please?

#10 Yeah, Anon6449. Where are the saviors from the international community when you need them? Always flapping their mouths, never getting off the couch.

#11 2B its not really black on black but arab on black. In islam 'arabs' are more 'holy' or 'better' then blacks (or anyone else -- anyone in Indonesia listening?)

The MSM and United Nations will never pay more then token attention to the murder, rape, and genocide in Sudan until they can pin the blame on someone other then their allies (the Islamic terrorists).

When the MSM or UN can blame those who are against terrorism (Bush, Putin, Israel) the 'disaster' will be placed firmly on the front burner and the heat turned on high.
