Here's the thread.
And fast as well!
Let me ping some people and then read it.
PING and pass it along!
This is important.
This one was pretty easy - all I had to do was go to their own damn website to get all the material I needed to indict their own ad campaign. The libs usually make you work a bit harder than that.
Darfur won't have any US military action for a variety of reasons... most of which come straight from the mouths of the libs who celebrate this cause.
1. There is no US compelling interest there (same thing was claimed of 'Nam and Iraq).
2. Who is the USA to be the world's policeman? What moral right do we have?
3. War is wrong. We shouldn't engage in war, cause living beings die. Thousands will die in such a war, mostly the innocents on the other side.
4. We are not being respectful of the Darfur culture and history if we interfere. What is that Star Trek prime directive again?
5. This is a civil war, and we shouldn't be putting American boys and girls in harm's way.
6. We should have the UN do it.
In other words, the Libs are inheriting the whirlwind of the winds of dissention that they've sown....
Didn't you know this was Bush's fault?
NOTHING will be done about the genocide in Darfur until the world openly recognizes ISLAM for what it is. In the meantime, moozlims get a free pass to continue their expansionism via genocide in the Horn of Africa.
They really know how to show their appreciation, huh? /s
Excellent post, dirtboy!
The president has been urging UN action on Darfur almost since taking office. I've seen the ads and they clearly insinuate that he's not interested.
I did some googling and found that the conspiracy sites already blame the president for all past and potential future scenarios. Some sites blame him for doing nothing, others make claims of secret ops that are causing the problems, and still others say that if we do anything it will be to steal their oil.
The left is nothing but pathetic scum.
Thanks for the ping.
Excellent!
This isn't just about politics. It's about a cheap shot using a tragic situation - and that cheap shot does NOTHING to help the process along. In fact, the liberal nitwits running SaveDarfur also do NOT want the US to take any kind of unilateral action:
While we are not calling for U.S. troops in Darfur, we are calling for the strong U.S. leadership necessary to ensure that a capable UN force is raised and sent to Darfur as soon as possible.
But the only thing I see that would force Sudan to accept the peacekeeping force would be a threat of direct US military action if Sudan continues to block deployment.
We on FR can debate whether or not it is in our interests to be involved here, or at what level that involvement should be. However, SaveDarfur simply is not serious about what it would take to pressure Sudan here. Throw in their blatant omission of what Bush has done to date, and they are now part of the problem, not part of any solution.
7. We will radicalize more Muslims to the cause if we send troops there, and violence will increase, thus creating a quagmire
Maybe I'm pointing the finger at a group that was active earlier...
But when I saw the adverts, my knee-jerk thought was "Where the
fire-truck where you people when Christians and animists were being
murdered in southern Sudan by the Islamic Arabs of the government troops?"
But once it's Muslims getting raped, murdered and pillaged by their
co-religionists....it's time for a big ad campaign.
Thank you for posting.
Excellent!...........this ad is very decieving.....it all comes down to the last line...*Please President Bush stop the genocide now*.......as if Bush is responsible for not doing anything!
BUMP to everything you said.
Excellent work.
This is a horrid cheap shot and you're awesome to have caught it and exposed it!
But we sure as heck ain't gonna give him credit in a national ad campaign. We'll instead imply the opposite - after all, it's only a few weeks until the November elections! We gotta have our priorities straight here, you know!
It is also worth noting that while these ads running in the U.S. call for stronger leadership from President Bush, similar ads being run internationally call upon various international leaders to provide strong leadership as well. Advocacy directed at President Bush is not the sum total of our advocacy efforts, but is in fact only the U.S. directed portion of a larger international advocacy campaign directed at the top echelon of world leaders.
(too bad I forgot to italicize this paragraph in the initial post).
I guess the SaveDarfur people can't be bothered with the fact that most people seing the commercial in the US WILL NOT SEE THE COMMERCIALS RUNNING ELSEWHERE IN THE WORLD.
