Darfur

From a Yahoo (AP) story:

KHARTOUM, Sudan - Sudan's president, vowing to never allow U.N. peacekeepers into Darfur, blamed Jewish organizations for pushing for their deployment.

President Omar al-Bashir made the assertion Tuesday while a joint
United Nations and African Union team was in Sudan to plan for a large U.N. force to take over peacekeeping in Darfur from the AU's poorly equipped 7,000 troops who have been unable to halt more than three years of violence.

President Bush, who has called for the United Nations to take over peacekeeping in Darfur, reiterated Wednesday that he viewed the government-backed attacks on civilians there as genocide.

Har. Is Omar al-Bashir trying to be funny, or does he really think that blaming the Jews will fly. Or, worse yet, will blaming the Jews fly? The peace camp (peace being the status quo, even including rape and murder so long as we aren't involved) will swallow quite a bit it seems. I'm sure some of them have turned thejewsdidit into a single word. Some of them will certainly buy his second argument:

The U.S. and Europe have been pushing for the quick deployment of U.N. peacekeepers in Darfur.

"This shall never take place," al-Bashir told reporters at a news conference with South African President Thabo Mbeki on Tuesday. "These are colonial forces and we will not accept colonial forces coming into the country," he said in his strongest rejection yet of a U.N. peacekeeping role in Darfur.

"They want to colonize Africa, starting with the first sub-Saharan country to gain its independence. If they want to start colonization in Africa, let them choose a different place."

Remember how Bush went into Iraq to steal their oil and make them a colony? The hard core still believe that.

But of course the Jew-controlled-colonizers argument won't be used unless someone actually intervenes. Ignore the raping and genocide, let it continue, just don't think about it, and that will be peace. Grow a pair and intervene and you open yourself up to the moon crew. I'm sure some of them would welcome US intervention. It would give them more to hate and it would distract them from the fact that they are studiously avoiding the problem.
