MONROVIA, Liberia - Pressure built Monday on the United States to contribute to a peacekeeping force in Liberia, with West African leaders asking for 2,000 U.S. troops — and seeking a response from President Bush (news - web sites) before his July visit to the continent. In Washington, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld said the Bush administration and State Department were "looking at a range of options" in Liberia but had made no decision on whether to supply troops.

Maybe France should send their troops...They are already in Africa anyway. I think we are too busy fighting the war on terror to get involved with this- our troops would be there for Years!

"We Africans are finding it hard to blame our troubles on Colonialism. After all, colonialism ended 40 years ago. Could you Whites comes back for a bit? Maybe stage a military occupation for 2-3 years? Then we could blame our problems on you for the next few decades. Thanks very much"

our troops would be there for Years

Years
Decades
Centuries
Until Africa is the economic leader of the affluent world.

[Bikers4Bush]

Sorry, we gave at the office.

No need for U.S. troops. Jesse Jackson is always eager to fly into any part of the world to bring peace and harmony. Let Jesse do it. Fly, Jesse, fly! (P.S., don't come back.)

[Billy_bob_bob]

Bingo! Send them Bono and Geldorf and all of the other googly-eyed pencil-necked bleeding heart geek idiots, and tell them to solve all of Africa's problems. The only question I have is how long it would take them to transform into Colonel Kurtz clones.

[Bon mots]

Quagmire.

Stay out.
Nothing good has ever come out of Africa.
Nobody can make Africa and/or Africans succeed. Africa is lost forever.

[Prof Engineer]

Let the tinpot dictators running th UN police their own nations. The US has important work to do.

[Dante3]

Our troops are needed on our borders and to halt the invasion by illegals. Keep our troops out of forgeing lands. No memebers of the our military should die for other countries. And lets bring them back from Iraq. Too many have already died there.

I recommend the film "Blackhawk Down."

[FairOpinion]

Send them Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton.

They keep saying they care for the black people, well, the Blacks in Africa need help much worse than those in the US. I bet all the blacks in Africa wish they were blacks living in the US. Oh, we can also send them the blacks who aren't satisfied living in this country.

[lilylangtree]

Send the French! Send the French!

[tkathy]

Maybe Africa could ask for Israeli troops as well as U.S. troops. That way, they could find a way to victimhood and blame the jews and the americans for all their problems

Send in the Clowns!

what a wacko... Good thing that the dems have enough sense NOT to vote for this wierdo...

[Arpege92]

Just another example of those from different countries calling on the United States for help!

[cyborg]

Nothing good has ever come out of Africa... Just the way that some disciples said that nothing good comes out of Nazareth. You apparently do not know any Africans.
