#1 The 135 Chinese peacekeepers, upon arrival in South Darfur

More must be sent immediately! Two, maybe 3 hundred thousand more.... long term, 40-50 years.

#2 Ima waitin' to see if a Chinese commandant comes unglued when he gets his own taste of a "Blackhawk Down". It would almost be amusing to watch the some communists go totally Mongol on the Sudanese riffraff.

#3 This seems like too few, far too late.
When I read resolution 1769, I thought it was passed in 1769. No matter, the dead will not complain for very long.

#5 If they are engineering units they are probably not doing a whole lot of peacekeeping. More likely helping find oil reserves, something that helps the Sudanese dictatorship and the Chinese government.

#6 Kinda like the fox watching the hen house, based on China's status as Sudan's armorer and major investor.

#7 If they are engineering units they are probably not doing a whole lot of peacekeeping.

I seem to recall some Chinese engineers that didn't have it too peaceful in Pakistan. Never underestimate the ability of Muslim populations to express ingratitude. It's almost like they have a genetic predisposition for it.

#8 Now, let's see.... this would be the same China reported here a year or two ago as loaning their cargo planes to the Gov't for use as make-shift bombers against Darfur villagers.... um hmmmmm
