#1 But the White House, the African Union and groups such as Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International have so far avoided using the g-word.

And the White House, the African Union, Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International can all pound genocidal sand up their collective @sses. It's genocide, pure and simple, just like the beginnings of the Holocaust. All denial is merely appeasement of the murderous b@stards causing this crime against humanity.

#2 PS: F&%k "diplo-speak" and all the mindless, spineless whores who use it.

#3 I'm sure that the fact that they are not victims of genocide but only of "widespread, silent and slow killing" will be of great relief to the denizens of Dafur.

The job of EU policy chief was made for Javier Solana. I'm sure he was able to utter his remarks with a straight face.

#5 Lucky, I'd like to think that race is not a factor in this case, nor was it a factor in the Ivory Coast nor Rwanda, but the pattern is hard to mistake. I beleive that the EU likes to declare genocide retroactively - after there is no longer anything to be done. I wish that we would go ahead and demonostrate our unilateralism once again and declare genocide. We ould point out that the EU and UN are naked at the same time. Wouldn't want to ruffle feathers, though. Got to be careful not to be the first to declare genocide or else France and Germany will refuse to send troops.

#7 Super Hose your last sentence is so right on. My Momma raised me to get upset by stuff like government sponsored murder of black people so it's hard to keep silent while is goes on. This time the US will be on record calling this a genocide (at least some folks.) Having a full plate as we do there is little we can do about it. The Beeb and the U.K. government made some noise and France magicly moved some forces to the border in Chad to "protect" refugees but it's way to little and they will never cross the border to defend a soul.

Solana's "widespread, silent and slow killing" shows him for the soul-less self serving political POS he is. What a total assclown.

#8 Why, everybody knows that the term "genocide" is simply a metaphor for the human rights abuses at Gitmo.

#10 What do you expect the EU and the UN to do, based upon their record? Hell, they cannot clean up the mess in their backyard of the former Yugoslavia. They asked Slick Willie instead. While all these highly educated EUnics are debating whether the pattern and quantity of killing fits the definition of genocide, tens of thousands are dying at the hands of murderers. Bunch of morally bankrupt souls the EUnics are. Raises my boiler pressure if I do not watch it.

On another note, if we are going to save the world and ourselves, we better reassess our military AND especially our airlift and sealift capability. Rummy has been working on the military of the future, I am sure. I have a feeling, though, that our airlift capability is being stressed to hard and needs to be expanded.

#12 Maybe the EU is awating the completion of a bar-graph breaking down the murders by ethnicity, race and religion.

#13 The EUros wouldn't recognize genocide if it bit them in the butt, even though they're masters at committing it.

Those nuanced idiots won't even admit it's happening when the islamonazis start committing genocide on the EUros. Shortly.

Barbara, in light of such gutless twaddle as this, one is almost obliged to hope you are right.

#17 Now see, Genocide is only committed by the US and UK against Jihadi's. So the EU and UN can't call it Genocide cause it's not us doing it. Besides, if they piss these guys off, they'll stop giving the UN delegates all their under the table money/drugs/children.

Death to the UN!
