Pelosi calls for Special Envoy to Sudan
2006-03-17
WASHINGTON (AP) - House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi is calling for the appointment of a U.S. special envoy to Sudan, where a three-year rebellion in the Darfur region has left an estimated 180,000 people dead and displaced 2 million more. ``This special envoy would signal that bringing peace and stability to Sudan is a priority for the United States,'' Pelosi, D-Calif., said in prepared text of a speech to be delivered Friday at the Center for National Policy.

``To do this we must stop the violence, bring the parties to the negotiating table and get humanitarian relief to the people who need it.''
Or we could help the refugees defend themselves and whack the Janjaweed til the latter decide to take motel management courses.
Pelosi led a delegation of lawmakers to Sudan last month, and some of them met with President Bush on Thursday and endorsed creating a special envoy post, she said. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has said the United States would consider taking that step. A White House spokesman didn't immediately respond to a request for comment late Thursday.

#8  Nancy, have ya noticed that the gub'mint of Sudan doesn't want any stinking infidels in their land. Not the ones they are exterminating now with the Janjaweed. Not the fetid infidels of the UN or Allan forbid, the Satans infidels.

Nancy, the goal here is to keep all infidels out of Sudan and kill all the ones within it. Clearly stated by Sudan.

And you want to send an envoy? You wanna send some pretty flowers for the dead too? Twit!
