Calls for Immediate Action to Turn Words into Reality
Washington, DC – The Save Darfur Coalition today applauded President Bush’s commitment to get UN peacekeepers into Darfur and his appointment of Andrew Natsios to be his Presidential Special Envoy for Sudan during his address to the United Nations. The Coalition also stressed the need for both Mr. Natsios and President Bush to immediately increase pressure on the Sudanese Government to accept the already authorized UN peacekeeping force. Natsios previously served as the Administrator of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and as the Special Humanitarian Coordinator for Sudan.
“By appointing Andrew Natsios to be his Special Envoy for Sudan, the President has told the world that he is serious about ending the crisis and building a lasting peace, and that means getting true security to the people who need it,” said David Rubenstein, Coordinator of the Save Darfur Coalition. “The true measure by which history will judge the President’s efforts to end this genocide is not what he says today, but what he does tomorrow. He and Mr. Natsios must be relentless until the genocide is stopped.”

On August 31, the final bureaucratic hurdle was passed when the UN Security Council authorized a peacekeeping force for Darfur of 22,500 troops and personnel. That force has not yet begun to deploy, however, due to the Sudanese Government’s refusal to give their consent. The UN Security Council has never in its history failed to deploy a peacekeeping mission once it has authorized it.
------------
So, riddle me this, Batman - if Bush is taking concrete action to stop the genocide already, why is StopDarfur.Org running television commercials implying that he is not? The only thing stopping deployment of a 22,500 man UN force is the Sudanese government. WHY IS THAT BUSH'S FAULT?
StopDarfur has gutted any credibility they may have had with this commercial.
Just about what I figured from Murtha- moronic cut and run again, and again..

It's their weapon against accusations of Rapist42's inaction againsy al Qaeda. Come tomorrow morning, the book will be touted on every DBM outlet.
...afterwards, turned to C-span 1 and listened to Joel Rosenberg....(author of Epicenter) and found him amazing....articulate, bright and informed!!!
Dear God. Worse than hypocrisy. They are flat out LYING.
Maybe that needs a thread of its own?
Every Congressman and Senator shall recieve as compensation the sum of One Million Dollars per year.
However, that is all they receive.
All of their expenses, including what the market value rent on their offices in Washington would be, copy paper, pencils, paper clips, everything, shall be paid for out of the million dollars they get.
If they want a staff of 30, fine, they pay for it themselves. And that includes withholding taxes, social security, pension payments, health insurance, etc.
Whatever they have left of the million dollars (after taxes, both federal and from the state they live in) they can keep.
By putting elective officials in the spot of seeing what it really is like trying to run a business, maybe then and only then will they understand that tax policies crippling business should not be made law.
Also, Brown seems to not understand his voting record speaks for itself.
That ad on Darfur started running last week, at least that is when I first saw it....It's a pretty good ad until the end...I thought it was a plea to the UN, but nooooooooooo, it asks viewers to contact the WH to plea to GWB for help...this is just sickening!
