#1 It's rather silly to refer to them as "guerillas" when they are sponsored, trained, clothed, and prolly paid by the Govt. Someone should send them a proper glossary so they can get it right.

This situation is completely insane. Every news story is chock full of absurdities ranging from roaring mice who will strike down the infidels if they dare intervene to goofy claims that intervention would have something to do with "their" oil. It's well past time for the West, and yep I include America, to get frisky with these cretins -- and Wipe. Them. Out.

The reporting is (How should I put it?) hand-wringing and ineffectual whining, for the most part. This piece has more detail than most - good catch, Dan - and Thx!

#2 I would like to us arm and train the darfur and back them with airpower. The J-weed wouldn't last a week.

#3 "There is an agenda to seek petrol and gold in the region,"

Yeah, yeah, yeah, and ~~next week it'll be~~ last week it was the Jooooos. Just the flipside of the same bogus 45...

#5 The reporting is (How should I put it?) hand-wringing and ineffectual whining, for the most part.

Of course it is. That hand-wringing then becomes mild elation when the Western troops arrive on Monday, growing dissatisfaction when they don't tame the thugs by Thursday, followed by sheer panic and cries of 'quagmire' after three more days have passed.

Lastly comes the 'serious analysis', calls for someone to blame, and the I-told-you-so's.

Then it's a quick drink and off to the next chamber pot on the world scene...

#6 Message to the Moose-Limbs is we wanted your gold or oil we would already have it. You would not last a day if taking your oil or gold was our motive. Your mindset even coupled with modern weapons is no match for the west if it decides open full out war is needed. Your ashes would be blown away in the desert wind and you would be forgotten rather quickly by the west. Grow up or be ground into the dust at the bottom of the drawers of history.
