clooney should get a clue

[linn37]

Mr. Clooney is ok with the atrocities committed by a madman and his sons in Iraq but not Dar-fur.

[Rastus]

We ought to run everything by Clooney before we do it.

"Afghanistan? No. Iraq? No. Iran? No. North Korea? No. DARFUR! DARFUR!"

"The Sudanese need to be convinced that if they are not willing to accept help from the international system, then they're going to be held accountable for anything that happens,"

Oh, my goodness. Better get your act straight Sudan, or the U.N. will...pass a resolution against you. Oh, the horror!!!!

[preacher]

According to Liberals we should get out of Iraq because it's turning into a civil war. According to Liberals we should go into Dufar even though it's a civil war.

Clooney's got cash. Let him put his money where his mouth is and hire some mercenaries.

"That's not just a war," he said.

Oh, and just what the hell is it then?

On Darfur, I agree with G. Clooney if he means that good men and good nations should sweep away thugs, tyrants, genocide. It ain't UN peacekeepers going to do it. In these "neighborhoods", there should be mature, democratic countries whose people refuse to tolerate unspeakably evil murderers in their midst.

[Fairview]

And if the West--for which read "the US"--sends troops into Darfur, who but the leftists and liberals like Clooney will fault us as warmongers? It's ever the way: America is begged to intervene in some bloodbath and if we finally break down and do it, we are considered worse than the original bandits, murderers, and slavers who started it.

[kb2614]

Sure, lets intervene in Darfur, but on one condition. We kill those responsible for the genocide. Not arrest, kill. Would Clooney be down with that?? Would the UN?? Nah, I didn't think so either. Smug bastards like to hear themselves talk and then they pat themselves on the back. I despise them.

[backtothestreets]

Allow it to continue until the liberals accept there is one force behind ALL these conflict, Islam, and the liberals pony up to fight them.

IF Clueless Clueny is so concerned then why doesn't he spend his millions and do something about it? Hey George! step up to the plate and swing. He is so good wearing the US Army uniform when he gets payed to portray an officer. Hey George, why not wear a uniform of your own and dodge real bullets instead of John Wayne bullets! Coward! Idiot!

[wgflyer]

There's an awful lot of sarcasm directed at Clowny on this thread. We should understand that his unsight and wussdom into the ways of the world are boundless. He's almost right up there with Barbara Streisand in foreign policy expertise. Surely, a few Kofi peacekeepers could clear this Darfur mess in a jiffy!

[garylmoore]

Why would anyone listen to this man of low character?

[goldstategop]

Uh huh. The same UN that ran the Oil For Food program and the same UN whose peace-keeping troops raped and murdered Rwandans. George Clooney doesn't have the slightest idea interjecting the UN into Darfur would only give international consent to the slaughter going on there. But I forget. To liberals, the UN can do no evil.

"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." -Manuel II Paleologus

It's not "ethnic cleansing", it's just another ho hum muslim genocide.

My flat-mates had the telly on last night and we looked over at one point during the news and saw that the BBC had Clooney in an interview. We had the sound down quite a bit so at first we couldn't work out what he was talking about. He was dressed in a very sober suit and the BBC had placed him in front of a display of world flags with the UN flag in the middle.

Even after I figured out what he was talking about, it just wouldn't click together. Why had the BBC used him to comment on Darfur? One of my flat-mates offered that he (Clooney) had just come back from a couple weeks in Darfur but I'm thinking- 'ok, so even if he does know more than me about it, there must be at least 10 million people out there who know a helluva lot more than George Clooney about it'.

And it begs the question- if George Clooney can become an expert for having spent a couple weeks in Darfur, does that not mean that the average soldier on the ground in Iraq/Afghanistan is also an expert concerning their own respective theatre of operations?

Won't be holding my breath waiting for the Beeb to interview any soldiers who think we ought to lay waste to Arab terrorists...
