Ah, why don’t I see this reported anywhere else? Generally it’s regarded as somewhat significant when one nation invades another; especially so when it’s the largest country on the continent invading one currently engaged in military hostilities with the US. I’m dumbfounded.

This regime has managed to undo in 2 years what millions have died trying to protect. The whole world is going crazy. Fighting and unrest abound.

There must be millions rolling over in their graves.

Did they die for nothing?

Watching Obama’s political maneuvering is like watching a monkey masturbating in mittens.

Would you mind if I borrow this statement? I am not sure as to where and when such a statement can be used, but I would like to have this handy if and when the time comes.

Thanks!

The article and no one here is talking about the 500 lb gorilla in the room.

On July 9, 2011, Southern Sudan will be an independent country.

Because of that Sudan will:

1. Lose about 1/3 of its territory
2. 85% OF IT OIL RESERVES!

Without that oil, Sudan is broke.

China has told Sudan to allow independence and not to invade. Why? Because 1/3 of China’s oil comes from Southern Sudan and they don’t want any disruptions.

China has also told Southern Sudan that it will have China’s support as long as they cooperate with Sudan in shipping the oil through Sudanese controlled piplines

And the Egyptians will see any Sudanese invasion of the oil fields as a threat and may jump into the war. These oil fields are only a few 100 kilometers from Egypt’s borders.

This could be a prelude to a Maghreb/North Africa War.

Perhaps this invasion is an attempt to grab the Ar Sarie oil fields, but that is a stupid move by Sudan.

One thing that would end the civil war would be an attempt to invade Libya’s oil fields. Both sides want them for economic survival and neither side will gladly give them up. And if one side is seen as selling out to the Sudanese they’ll loose all support.

Also any invasion by Sudan of the Ar Sarie oil field could bring Egypt into the war, since the oil field are only a few 100’s of kilometers from Egypt’s border.

We could be seeing a prelude to a Maghreb/North Africa Great War.

It's very possible, but it's difficult to tell what's going on. It could be Sudan's trying to get behind Darfur and start shooting there again.

Maybe this will take some pressure off of South Sudan, which will secede from Sudan on July 9.

Maybe this was all an underhanded plot to suck Sudan into doing something so stupid we would have an excuse to take out Bashir. ;-) At any rate, Sudan does have oil, although the Chinese seem to have been trying to get a hold of it. I spoke with a Sudanese from Kartoum recently. He said he hopes they do to Bashir and his greedy wife what they did to Rumania’s Chauchescu (sp?) and his greedy wife.

Meanwhile action continues in Libya with the African Union coming up with a peace plan that apparently the rebels have agreed to. Who knows how Gaddafi will respond?

And NATO continues to bomb military targets between the Nafusa mountain rebels and Tripoli.

Baraq Obama will be credited with bringing about the collapse of NATO.


And backing Israel into a corner. Israel will have no choice but use nukes to insure their survival.

Obama can take his phoney “Peace Prize” and shove it.

Whatever befalls America, and...it will not be good, it is the American people that have brought doom unto themselves, just as the citizens of Germany did by voting in Adolf Hitler and his NAZI destroyers of German & Europe. I mean the handwriting of the true Obama is on the wall and the American “sheep” just wait for the slaughter, be it economic or worse. God help this once great nation!!!


Exactly right!!!!!!!!!!

Gads the slaughter begins anew. This is so tragic. While everyone is fighting some ghost war in Libya that’s illegal as hell real good people are dying in Nigeria, other parts of Africa, Syria, name it. And the Nobel pieces prize whiner is happy as a homosexual in the city of Sodom.
