Bush on Why the U.S. Didn’t Send Troops to DarfurPosted on Feb 20, 2008
The year is 2008, and President George W. Bush has learned an important lesson in global affairs: “Outside forces” taking part in foreign clashes “tend to divide people up inside their country” and “are unbelievably counterproductive.” Click here to view the clip.

This is laughable convenient rationale. The fact is that U.S. has consistently meddled in and invaded other countries at will.

is that Bush probably doesn’t see the irony in his comments.

I’ve been to Malaysia many times. A country where Islam is the dominant religion. I thoroughly enjoyed myself. Can you even point to Malaysia on a map? Have you ever been to a country where your ethnic/religious group was not dominant? I’ve been to many. You should visit other parts of the world. You’ll find that most people have the same concerns and want the same things you do.
And what do you mean “so called liberal”? You seem to be implying that I, and many of the other people responding to this article, aren’t really liberals. Since you feel the label “liberals” (which isn’t pejorative despite what you think) isn’t applicable what exactly is the problem with our viewpoint?

as i’ve said before, the US government will go to war wherever there is oil. there is none in darfur, so of course they won’t go there. and for all the ‘zionist’ critics, if isreal had all the oil and the arab countries had none, you’d better believe that the US would be stock-piling the arab countries with weaponry as they have isreal. its all about the oil, the rest is just filler to keep you talking and not acting, and its working extremely well.

The Bush/Cheney Junta has not sent American kids-yet- to fight and die in Darfur because it’s not one of Israel’s “existential” enemies… yet.
The Bush/Cheney/Olmert company of MURDER Inc. has plans for American kids to come home in flag draped coffins from Iran and by gosh, they might just succeed.
Israel knows another 9/11 attack on American soil is out of the question.
So is stovepiping lies, more lies and damn lies from Tel Aviv to the White House Office of Special Plans, like they did to help jump start the illegal and immoral war against Iraq.
So Israel will just keep on with its extrajudicial killings of Syrians, Lebanese and maybe even an Iranian or two, in the hopes that Syria or Iran will take the bait and try to defend itself.
When they do, all hell will break loose in the ME and Bush might finally get his wish to be “Raptured” up to heaven on a stairway built out of millions and millions of charred corpses.

Yes, actually…Bill Clinton DID send troops, but not to Darfur.
He sent them into Serbia/Kosovo however, for the same reasons.
Meantime, we already KNOW why Dick Bush didn’t send troops to Darfur. He only sends troops to places where there is oil to be stolen, and Imperialism to be forced.
