#1 Many single A leagues have trouble paying for the central office, it's a lack of populaton base. Sure the Dearborn Bomb Squad can fill a stadium and sell cable rights, but they're an exception, most of the league compares to the South Bend Shaheeds, barely getting by, mainly on in-stadia concessions.

PEANUTS! Infidel? PEANUTS? Got your PEANUTS! Right here. COKE! COKE! CHIP, CHIP, CHEESEBURGER, CHEESEBURGE No infidel twenties please. PEANUTS! Allah is kind to me infidel, no change.

#3 So far, only 10 percent of the 150 million dollars pledged in Khartoum last year for the African Union (AU) peacekeeping force in Darfur has been paid up.

The remaining 90% was reassigned for funding Paleostinian terrorism.

#4 commitments -- notably to assist the Palestinians, Somalis and people of Sudans Darfur region -- had not been met

Nice to see they're equal opportunity liars, and the Palestinians are being shorted as well.

#6 Palestinians? Darfur? Screw that. Tell them this will force cutbacks in those swell banquets.
Then watch the money flow in...

#7 The remaining 90% was reassigned for funding Paleostinian terrorism.

Actually, JFM, I'd be willing to bet the remaining 90% has been paid...just to the other side, in Darfur's and Somalia's cases. Remember, the Janjaweed (Arabs in Darfur) and Islamic Courts (Somalia) has to be backed by someone. It's a shame these African nations can't realize that the Arab League is probably funding their enemies. If you're an African Muslim, you're still not "Muslim enough" according to the Arabs.
