    Granted, James…
    But I think this needs to be pointed out;

    How would it be, now, were President Bush to have actually gone in there, with the troops required? Would this now be the place the Demorats would be screaming for us to pull out of?

  2. I fear that there never was much a chance that anyone could save Darfur, let alone whether they would try and do so…

    Exactly right. We do these things when they’re doable; this one wasn’t.

    Oh yea, you must mean like in Iraq. That has worked out well.

    Bithead how old are you? Cause anyone over 14, except perhaps Bush, would be a little bit embarrased to talk like that…

    Actually, Iraq IS do-able.
    As in… still is.
    Assuming, of course, we actually have the will to see it through. Given the constant screaming from the left, it would appear BinLaden and was correct about are not having the will. As you repeatedly demonstrated.

    And No, I happen to be 50. On the other hand, you seem to be making a judgment based on all the fourteen yo’s you know… who are Democrats.
