Genocide in Darfur




Genocide - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Take it up with the UN...

It was a UN report.

Wouldn't want a new war to get in the way of a trip....

Has the Nobel committee asked the warmongering Obama for the return of the Peace Prize yet?

Why would they? The actions against Gaddafi are supported by most Europeans. Even in the Nordics. I speak Swedish and have been following the Swedish coverage of Libya as well as the English. This whole thing was really instigated because Europe wants Gaddafi out. The EU desperately wants a more democratic southern frontier so that immigration to Europe from those reasons will drop because people will have better lives at home.

Why that doesn't seem like the reasons we are being told...we were told the USA was bombing their power plants and towns for humanitarian reasons.

this was an interesting article, given how much the US role is being downplayed.

Quote:
Gortney offered no details on how long the period of "coming days" might be. But he did offer details on just how much of the Libya operation is being borne by U.S. forces. Early in the briefing, Gortney said the attack involved "110 Tomahawk cruise missiles fired from both U.S. and British ships and submarines." Later, a reporter asked: "Can you specify how many British ships were involved compared to the U.S. ships?"

"We had one British submarine," Gortney said.

"And the rest were all U.S.?"

"Yes, ma'am."

Sounds exactly like what the warmonger Bush was doing in Iraq....only he didn't get a Nobel Peace Prize.

What american president has NOT been a warmonger?

Bush - Iraq, Afghanistan
Clinton - ? Yugoslavia, Somalia
Bush Sr - Iraq
Reagan - Beirut, Grenada
Carter - None
Ford = Vietnam
Johnson, Kennedy = Vietnam


so thanks for the false outrage (e.g.. 'warmonger')
