With his world universe earth milky-way global poverty act whatever gaining momentum, do you think it is likely Obama will consider sending troops to Darfur in the event that he is elected?

Clearly his priorities are far from straight, but would he really push the red button??

What a stupid question.

Hey, if McCain is elected, do you think he'll nuke Vietnam to get him some vengeance for his time as a POW?

Ending whatever crap is going on in Darfur.

Bush is pledging money but hasn't gone so far as to offer military support. Obama is offering to pledge even more money....

What do you think? I'm not really familiar Obama's foreign policy other than he is advocating a bill that would send a conservative estimate of $50,000,000+ to Africa. [0.7% of GDP is 100bill+]

You started a thread under the guise that Obama's bad foreign policy (in your view) would likely lead him to invade Sudan...then you tell us you are not really familiar with his policies? You need to do some reading.

Not unless he's willing to go to war with the ChiComs which I sincerly doubt he or any other same person is.

And I will lead the world to combat the common threats of the 21st century: nuclear weapons and terrorism; climate change and poverty; genocide and disease.

Don't you think he might have his hands a little full with Iraq?

I don't follow Darfur all that much, but I've never heard anybody propose that it can be solved by sending a bunch troops in to blow sh!t up and kill people. That's what our troops do.

Actually do something about it? Yes.

Invade? Probably not.

Are you suggesting we can't fight on two fronts at the same time? XD

Um, troops are in Darfur to contain the genocide and resolve the conflict through a peace-keeping force. There have been requests for the US to send troops but none have been satisfied..


I thought the Global Poverty Act was meant to remove .7% of US GDP and pour into an African fund.

What am I missing??/

Any invasion of Sudan would require France's assistance (France has a large military presence in Africa to install and monitor its dictators) and France is busy fighting a war to prop up its dictator friend in Chad.

Best would be to crush the Sudan government in total in one quick blow and pretend you don't know what happened.

according to the oh-so-credible world net daily, the Global Poverty Act is real and would remove .7% of our GDP and pour it into a fund that would supposedly aid impoverished nations.

http://www.worldnetdaily.com/i...PAGE.view&pageId=56405

They data they provide is pretty specific and can't see any way it could be spun other than the entire thing being wrong:


He said the legislation, if approved, dedicates 0.7 percent of the U.S. gross national product to foreign aid, which over 13 years he said would amount to $845 billion "over and above what the U.S. already spends."

Guess impoverished Americans don't count. XD
