OIL "DISCOVERY" IN DARFUR
Reuters,via Alertnet ^ | 06/15.05 | vanity

Posted on 06/15/2005 4:30:35 PM PDT by genefromjersey

In one of the most incredible displays of gall I've seen in a long time,a Progressive contributor to Reuters has "just discovered" what Red China and their Islamist Sudanese counterparts have known for years: There's a LOT of oil in Darfur !

The Chinese have set up a virtual colony in this part of Sudan,and have been supplying the Sudanese government with heavy weapons so they can evict the native Africans from their oil-rich homelands.

This eviction has led to over 87,000 deaths,and has included rape,arson, looting,starvation,beatings,and cold-blooded murder.

I'm not sure whether the author is ignorant or simply arrogant. Perhaps a combination of both ?

Unquestionably, we need a war for oil.

Wh let people be free when you can control and kill them.

Silly Americans and silly people in Africa. If they wanted freedom, let them fight for it.

This situation is what submarines are for. The basic idea should be to have the president of the United States announce to the world something like this:

The United States is a Christian nation, and it would be immoral for a Christian nation with the power which God has given us to allow Christians anywhere in this world to be treated the way Christians and other non-slammites are being treated in Sudan. Therefore, until all persecution of Christians and other minority groups in Sudan ceases, American submarines will be patrolling the waters off of Sudan with orders to sink any ship attempting to load oil from Sudan. Have a nice day.....

One can always hope.

How is it that the Muslims of the world ended up with so much of the world oil?

Some think Satan had something to do with it when he impersonated the Angel Gabriel and told a guy named Mohammed that he had a message from God for him!

In other words: Satan formed a cult on a lake of oil to mess with Gods creation.

In Darfur the victims of the genocide are Muslims.

You may wish to consult a map of Africa, before sending out our subs to patrol Sudan's coast. I can just see the reaction of the world's 1 billion muslims to the idea that we are patrolling near Mecca in support of an overtly Christian mission.

Yeah, big surprise to the 'progressives'. To them only the US can foster brutality and oppression.

So they are funding a war for oil, eh?

So where is ANSWER and the rest of the commie anarchists?

Is it okay to fund genocide when you are a communist totalitarian nation, but not the United States?

Both sides are, I believe. One side, supported by the govt, is Arab, the other side is tribal African. This is a long standing feud stretching back to the heyday of the slave trade.
The tribal Africans are the majority of the refugees - and make up the majority of the dead and raped. Rape has been a widespread 'weapon' to shame and demoralize,
