Bush defends US record on Darfur
Source: BBC

US President George W Bush has defended his decision not to send troops to the Sudanese region of Darfur, despite what he calls a genocide taking place there.

He called it a "seminal decision" not to intervene with force, taken partly out of the desire not to send US troops into another Muslim country.

Mr Bush was speaking to BBC World News America before flying to Africa.

3. Well, of course, we wouldn't want to
do anything about genocide in Africa, for crying out loud. We stick to places where there are no weapons of mass destruction and where crimes against humanity have been carried out in relatively conventional ways, not with all that raping and using child soldiers, 'n stuff. Worst President ever.

4. So I guess this...
"taken partly out of the desire not to send US troops into another Muslim country"...means we wont be sending troops into Iran? Is that your saying you lying sack of shit? Me thinks you kinda screwed yourself with that statement. Not that that means anything to you or the dumbed down American public. God someone please take this motherfucker OUT!
