Yep, this third generation Dutchman is repressing the crap out of them. Uh-huh! Be repressed! Be repressed!
Heck according to Bush all we need to do is invade, throw a couple of elections their way and the barbarism will be dissappear.
1 sorcerous politician; 1 rope; 1 tree; add machetes, tar, and feathers as suits one's fancy. Repeat as necessary.
Pretty soon, the one will stop, and the other will no longer be necessary.
Why yes, he was ambassador to Gabon.
Oddly enough he went on a crusade against Cheney but couldn't bring himself to go on a crusade against something as heinous as slavery. He was in Gabon long enough to notice the child slaves in various officials' homes, I'm sure.
Just as Scott Ritter was in Iraq long enough to notice the child prisons.
Funny thing is, while grisly things like ritual murders and child slavery and the associated smuggling are so common as to be considered normal in west African countries like Gabon, Benin and in Niger, etc... joe Wilson told us with a straight face that uranium couldn't be smuggled out of Niger because the French keep such a good eye on things. His former wife Jacqueline Wilson even works as a lobbyist for Omar Bongo's daughter. Pierre Salinger played the Bongos, too.
Herman Cohen, formerly Clinton's assistant secretary of state for Africa, was contracted to "tart up the image" of the Zimbabwean dictator Mugabe. Cohen also lobbied for Mobutu of Zaire [Congo], Omar Bongo of Niger, Charles Taylor of Liberia {the guy dealing in diamonds with al Qaeda}... etc.
If they could do it here the Democrats would just call it late, late term abortion and it would be a talking point.
