#1 I think we are missing a great opportunity here.

Arm the Darfur men with rudimentary weapons. Give them some training. Let them have some Chadian allies.

Result: Lots of dead Arab terrorists. A weaker Sudan National terrorist govt. A stronger position for the southern non-Moslem forces.

Give war a chance.

#2 Chad defeated a Libyan invasion in the late 1980s. The Chadian Army mounted machine guns and missles on Range Rovers and drove circles around the Libyans.

I really need to do the same thing to survive the Washington Beltway.

#3 The Army of Chad was assisted in the 1980's by the French Foreign Legion. It currently is under the tutelage of United States Special Forces and the United States Marine Corps. Nuff said.

#4 Serious question:

The assassins were a Muslim sect that took their name from hashish. The janjaweed militia, ditto.

What's the signifigance of marijuana in Arab culture? Why do violent movements take its name?

#5 Janjaweed has nothing to do with marijuana. The similarity to "Ganga" is purely coincidental. FYI, the word "Ganga" is of Indian origin - not Arab.

#8 MHW/Chuck/Eric/Steve. I fully agree and the 'nuff said' news is great to hear!

The people of Chad and those poor people in the Sudan being slaughtered by the barbaric jihadees should demand action by the U.N. but if they refuse to act allied Coalition forces should lend all the support they can muster to the good guys.

After this latest brutal murder of another innocent American civilian by Saudi Wahhabi Islamic killers, Washington must continue assisting Chad's armed forces with whatever they require to totally defeat the forces of evil.
