Bush Warns Sudan to End Darfur Conflict

WASHINGTON Oct 31, 2006 (AP)— President Bush warned Sudan's
government on Tuesday that it must move soon to end the deadly
conflict in its wartorn Darfur region.

Bush spoke to reporters after meeting with Andrew Natsios, the United
States' special envoy to Sudan. Bush said Natsios delivered a "grim
report about the human condition" in Darfur after a 10-day trip to the
area.

"The government of Sudan must understand that we're serious, when you
deliver a message to them on behalf of our government, that we're
earnest and serious about their necessity to step up and work with the
international community," the president said.

Bush said a "credible and effective" international force is crucial to
bringing peace to the region.

"The United States is going to work with the international community to
come up with a single plan on how to address this issue and save lives,"
he said.

1. All plan, no action

The world knows the United States has no troops to expend in Sudan. The US planning how other nations' troops can act in the US' stead is a bad joke.

2. Or what?

We'll poop on you from our flights to and from Iraq?

[denverbill]

3. We'll send an even firmer warning, that's what!

And if that's not enough, well by God I wouldn't want to be at the other end of the next warning we'll send.

[Yupster]

12. Or what?

That was my immediate reaction too.

The Sudanese know they can pillage anyone they want in Sudan, and Chad will be next. The world won't even yawn.

PS - I do agree with the US training the Chadian armed forces, but I think that's a hopeless cause. I don't think they can stand up to the Muslim militias crossing over from Sudan for long.

7. Invade, you wimp. And don't forget China.

The "human condition" ain't so great there either.

Invade and make the world "a better place."

8. sudan

Since Sudan has no oil that we know of , he will do the same thing as he did to North Korea,

"We will get the Countries of 'Eritrea, Chad,Egypt,Ethiopia, Kenya'
to put more pressure on Sudan to stop what they are doing...................

Now if Sudan did have tons of oil
it would be "We know you have WMD, we will honor the UN resolution '666' that says
we must invade to establish a regime change"

11. Sudan can tell the West to kiss off *because* it has oil.

Lots of Chinese investment. A bit of French and Russian support here and there, too. Oh, and the OIC seems uninvolved except in face-saving ways. They know their self-interest, and it doesn't involved western views of human rights.

S. Sudan has oil; Darfur has oil.
