File under: Govt of Sudan

#1 While the Bush administration most recently advocated the idea of "normalizing" relations with Sudan as a carrot approach to ending a crisis it labeled a genocide, Obama's foreign policy appointees have pushed for sticks.

Of course they're pushing for sticks. It's a long-festering 'humanitarian' issue in a backwater country with an impact affecting the U.S. national interest somewhere between the buildup of penguin guano in Antarctica and the decline in the number of pop-groups in Sweden.

#3 Coming to the conclusion that the democrats want their own "war to free the black people".

Economic Crises? check. Unilateral Option to War by Charismatic Leader? check. Reason to War Narrative? check. With Biden tutoring Obama and the Clinton redux making the decisions what could possbily go wrong...

#4 Democrats seem to have the ability to go to war, or just bomb the crap out of people without getting a lot of friction for it. I don't know why, but they do seem to have that going for them, they only start 'righteous' wars.

#5 Sudan was only ever a stick for the Democrats to whack GWB. Along with every other war, pestilence, famine and throbbing hangnail on the planet. The chances of The Changeling annoying China over Darfur when they can use the $US for a yo-yo are zero.
