Now, who is Bush siding with. I have limited information from church leaders who state that Christians are being tortured and enslaved by Muslims there. Whose side is he falling on?

Called on the private sector to donate at www.usaid.gov. He also proposed more money from Congress (which I am totally against - we've spent way too much under this administration). But, I like how he proposed that those Americans that care can also donate. I think all "foreign aid" should come from private donations, NOT forced donations via taxes.

Bush has been pushing for some sort of action for a long time in Sudan.

The UN wanted to stop the genocide in Bosnia. Why don't they want to stop the genocide in Sudan? Could it be because Muslims were being killed in Bosnia and Christians are being killed in Sudan?

A very impressive response from the United States to this tragedy; it sounds like other countries aren't stepping up to their responsibilities.

Whoa! Cool out! I'm just trying to get filled in on the situation by my conservative brothers and sisters (as you can't trust the liberal media for a fair-take on what's going on).

Whose side are we on?

Why are we taking their side?

Is Bush correct on this (Bush hasn't been very wise over the last few years)?

Etcetera. Etcetera. Are we a little touchy?

The UN is a worthless organization. Everybody's looking to the US to DO SOMETHING (i.e., military intervention). Why don't the French do something?

"We" aren't touchy at all.

You're a Bush-basher, looking for another reason to bash.

Actually, both Muslims and Christians are being killed by Muslims in the Sudan. Arab Muslims are attacking black African Muslims, whom they have always regarded as inferior (as you will recall, Arab Muslims were the ones who basically established the slavery industry in Africa, many centuries ago).

AUGUST 2000 : (REPORTS THAT IRAQ IS FINANCING SCUD MISSILES IN SUDAN, WITH NORTH KOREAN HELP, FOR FUTURE USE BY IRAQ) "……The U.S. intelligence community fears new reports may indicate Iraq is financing construction of a Scud missile assembly plant in Sudan, enlisting North Korea’s help, ABCNEWS has learned. …….. Sources say North Korean personnel would build and run the plant, with the assembled Scuds to be held in Sudan for Iraq’s future use — a prospect that worries U.S. officials. ……The intelligence community has two separate reports that indicate such a deal is in the works. If they prove true, it raises significant concerns that Saddam Hussein is back in business trying to make Scud missiles, although outside Iraq. ….." - ABCNews 8/10/00 Barbara Starr

JANUARY 2004 + : (SYRIA HAS BEEN SMUGGLING MISSILE & WMD COMPONENTS INTO SUDAN) LONDON [MENL] -- Syria's Defense Ministry has been smuggling missile and weapons of mass destruction components to Sudan in an apparent effort to conceal them from Western inspection. Western intelligence sources said the regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad has been flying shipments of Scud C and Scud D extended-range missiles as well as WMD components to warehouses in Khartoum since at least January 2004. The sources said the Syrian shipments to Khartoum were placed on civilian airliners but authorized and directed by the Defense Ministry. "There is widespread concern in the Syrian regime that Damascus will be the next to face heavy U.S. and international pressure to open its WMD facilities in the wake of the Libyan example," a senior intelligence source said. "The Syrians have decided that they want to take some of their assets out of the country." The intelligence sources said the Sudanese regime of President Omar Bashir was not informed of the Syrian missile and WMD shipments. They said the Syrian material was sent to Khartoum as part of the increased trade relations between the two countries and processed and stored by Sudanese companies.--- "Syria Smuggles Missiles, WMD to Sudan," IMRA, April 9, 2004 , MENL

Yes--he is touchy. He is rather famous here for personal attacks over the years. The first thing he does is call someone "stupid" (see above) or worse when he has another opinion. Hasn't changed his act in years...

Good question.

I don't remember you doing that; but, apology accepted. No matter our views on Bush, we are all (99.9% of us) here because we are conservatives and all love our REPUBLIC. Some of us blindly support Republicans because they have a strategy that makes sense to them; some of us vote on principle and will call out a liberal no matter what party they belong to. But I take none of it personally unless you are demonrat troll which Sinkspur is NOT.

Well, the Arab/Muslims have been attacking, killing, raping and enslaving Christian Sudanese for a while now. The world should have been doing something to stop this, but we're the only ones with the guts to do something, and we have not done much up til now, counting on the UN (bad move).

The Chinese have the big oil contracts there...and are on the Muslim side...

If Christians in the south are sitting on oil land its only a matter of time before they are all killed or converted..

Yes Musilms take Christian children as sex slaves to rape torture mutilate and kill...

They torture and kill adults as well as bomb churches,hospitals and other infrastructure..

Christian teachers and preachers are also targeted for assassinations...

All ignored by Clinton Bush...

War In Sudan

Sudan Gets Chinese Jets

Naturally it's the Muslims who get the jets...not "Sudan"

That's the big question...He sided with the muzims against the Christians in Kosovo...Gave them millions of our money...

He's leaning pretty heavy on the side of the terrorists in Israel...More hundreds of millions of our money...

It must be the global balance he's looking for...

(Bush hasn't been very wise over the last few years)?

Who says? Was it not wise to fight when the U.S. was attacked? Was it not wise to give us tax cuts? Was it not wise to take out Saddam and set up a democracy in the middle East?

Or, do you merely think him unwise because he does not follow the commands of the out of power democratic party?

No answer required - I don't intend to provide a forum for more Bush Bashing.
