Rice’s Strategy on Genocide: Stay The Course
Rice’s Strategy on Genocide: Stay The Course
The genocide in Darfur has killed at least 255,000 people — the equivalent of nearly two times the number of U.S. forces now in Iraq.
Yesterday, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice made a major speech on the issue to the Africa Society. Rice announced no new commitments or policy proposals to end the violence. Instead, she bragged that Bush officials are “bend[ing] every fiber of our being to ease the suffering of people of Darfur.”
That is flatly false. As Darfur expert John Prendergast has detailed, the administration “has made some noise about Darfur over the last two years,” but has repeatedly failed to act. Some key instances:
No real funding for peacekeepers: The United States, along with the Europeans, “have left the African Union force in Darfur in a state of limbo, not giving it the requisite resources and political support needed to protect the people of Darfur.”
No targeted sanctions on genocide leaders: The United States “crafted a U.N. Security Council resolution that authorized targeted sanctions in early 2005, but has since imposed sanctions on only one regime official, a retired air force commander. This leaves Khartoum with the correct impression that there will be no accountability.”
No special envoy for four months: “After the senior U.S. official who helped negotiate the partial peace took a job on Wall Street, almost his entire team departed.” For four critical months, State Department officials “opposed the naming of a presidential envoy to clean up the mess and make Darfur a genuine priority.”
No intelligence on war criminals: The United States “has not provided information and intelligence to the International Criminal Court as the latter conducts its investigation of the war crimes committed in Darfur. Sharing such material could be a critical part of leverage on Khartoum as it would face the prospect of accelerated indictments of senior officials.”
There are simple effective steps that can be taken immediately to curb the violence in Darfur, like enforcing targeted sanctions and travel bans, and establishing a no-fly zone. Instead, the Bush administration has chosen a familiar strategy: stay the course.

Condi – Crack-ho of the country club set. Thanks, btw Katie for kissing her ass when you should’ve had it on the grill, ya sad-ass, droppy-boobed cheerleader.
September 28th, 2006 at 7:53 pmthis where a worthwhile UN effort could really be used
September 28th, 2006 at 8:03 pmThanks to your pushing those “cut and run” policies in Iraq, you have killed any chance that the American public would support American ground troops in Darfur. Let me help you:
Step 1: Identify your core values that you can apply ALL circumstances
Step 2: Develop policies based on those values
Step 3: Identify candidates whose embody those policies and values
Step 4: Create campaigns around those candidates, policies and values
If you did that, you wouldn’t be screaming “cut and run” in Iraq and then calling for American ground troops in Darfur at the same time. The electorate has whiplash from the disparate policies Dems voice, no wonder you can’t get elected.
September 28th, 2006 at 8:03 pmCondi’s just hoping for a pair of Darfurenese shoes.
she bragged that the Bush officials are “bend[ing] every fiber of our being to ease the suffering of people of Darfur.â€
It’s tough skinning those people and stretching the skins on shoe forms.
September 28th, 2006 at 8:06 pmIs there oil in Darfur? Or does the govt do nothing b/c they are black people?
September 28th, 2006 at 8:08 pm#5, bb,
No, anti-war Dems have talked Americans into isolationism. You speaketh out of both sides of your mouth.

Hey Jason. What’s your take on whether Canadian Minister Peter McKay got into Condi’s pants when she was up in Canada last week? I think he was poking her salad at dinner, don’t you?
September 28th, 2006 at 8:16 pmMaybe she could go shoe shopping like she did when Katrina tore up the gulf coast.

Herr Hindler, what party has been in complete controll of our government for at least the last 6 years and the House since about 1994? Will you rethugs ever accept reality? This has been your dream for years and it didn’t work out so well did it? Matter of fact a complete FAILURE..you hate failure don’t you? Turns out that having “business” people run things ain’t that hot an idea is it? What happened to profit an loss? a balanced budget? Honesty? Your just a Clinton hate bot with no values at all. Have you ever tried to figure out what is your problem? Do you have some latent desire that hate seems to repress?

September 28th, 2006 at 8:23 pmLives being lost is not important.

Someone here is a terrorist. If there is one, Bush won’t get involved.

Even if she gave him a bid dose of clap? I mean, you can never tell, you know? Still, she’s kind of good looking with those freckles. I wonder if she has freckles on her back? One thing I know for sure is that even though she has some small tits, the rednecks down at the bar really like her. I think it’s the gap between her front teeth.
September 28th, 2006 at 8:27 pmLook, ever since the OJ trial, Dems have not been able to evoke “white guilt” from American voters to win elections. I laugh every time you trot out the old racism horse, because it has less and less effect every time. Now, it doesn’t work at all, even the mainstream media finds all those claims dubious.
September 28th, 2006 at 8:28 pmThere are no riches in Darfur to plunder, so we will stand by wnd watch the genocide.
September 28th, 2006 at 8:28 pmBush&Co are the worst hypocrites we’ve ever seen in this country.
This is not a case of isolationism or any form of political philosophy- this is a case of humanity doing what is right. Bush&Co have no ability to feel compassion, much less devote money, time and effort into helping a country of poor, black people who have nothing to offer in gratitude.
Bush, Condi, Dick and Don — may they all suffer just punishment for what they have done – and not done.

I believe the plan called for hunting down, attacking, and destroying Al Queda and OBL, not attacking An uninvolved nation and dropping 500lb bombs on their women and children.

Ahhhhh, I fell into the trap of identifying someone I find attractive, and since insults about me don’t phase me, you are now trying insults about Condi. Another reason among many that progs can only be destroyed.

Forget it, Bones. Jason is still following Bush’s “War on Terror” that suggests we will find OBL and his cohorts in some back alley in Baghdad.
September 28th, 2006 at 8:37 pmWhoa there Jason Hendler (#3)
No Democrat I have heard has said “cut and run”… that’s a bullshit Reptilian slogan.
Your 4 “steps” say “get help in Darfur”…. no kidding!
But you faill to grasp this:
IF WE WERE NOT IN IRAQ KILLING INNOCENT PEOPLE, WE WOULD HAVE THE RESOURCES AND PEOPLE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
So, I guess I have to blame Bush for this too… sorry
September 28th, 2006 at 8:40 pm#15 – JMH,
September 28th, 2006 at 8:42 pmDean has already anounced the 50 states in 50 days as the plan to handle terrorism. The House looks certain, the Senate, probable. In the Senate, four GOP and one Dem are shoo-outs. There are five contested races and the rest are shoo-ins. Net is that Dems could pick up as many as 7 seats in the Senate.
I fell into the trap of identifying someone I find attractive, and since insults about me don’t phase me, you are now trying insults about Condi.
Comment by Jason+M.+Hendler
No, Jason, on the contrary, I find Condi very attractive. If you were offended that I was offering an insult to her—-sorry. Condi is a very dedicated, well-educated, and successful woman. One of the best known women in the world. (And her butt is about the right size, too!). I’m just saying that a guy can’t be too careful when it comes to herpes and such.
I mean, you wouldn’t give her a poke without a condom, you know?

September 28th, 2006 at 8:47 pm#31, Joe,
Hmmm, any sentence that includes both Condi and rednecks seems dubious at best, but I will accept your claim that you intended no insult…
September 28th, 2006 at 8:48 pmI must add… After witnessing the “Blackhawk Down” episode in Somalia, Americans are very reluctant (especially the racist and Reptilian ones) to help any black African nations. So, Bush isn’t really losing ground with his base by doing little to help Darfur.

Thanks, Jason. I feel a lot better. You know, I have always wondered about her total devotion to George, following him around for all these years from the Texas statehouse to the Whitehouse. I’m sure there is nothing there, but what’s your take? Do you suppose Laura keeps a close eye on the two of them?
Its strange how Condi has a way of showing up down in Texas at Bush’s cowless ranch whenever George goes out to the pasture to cut brush. I mean, what’s that all about?
September 28th, 2006 at 9:02 pmYes, Sudan has oil. Check out the attached. This, and other related articles I’ve seen are some of the best I’ve seen that would argue for cutting our reliance on foreign oil. Course…we need to get off oil PERIOD (and other fossil fuels as well).
“The rush for oil is wreaking havoc on Sudan. Oil revenues to Khartoum have been about $1 million a day, exactly the amount which the government funnels into arms — helicopters and bombers from Russia, tanks from Poland and China, missiles from Iran. Thus, oil is fueling the genocide in Darfur at every level. This is the context in which Darfur must be understood….”

Jason would like to giver her a roll in the sack and I’m just warning him about unprotected sex. I mean, she’s been all over the world and in the Oval Office—there is just no telling what she might have picked up.
September 28th, 2006 at 9:10 pmAt a dinner party while Rice was National Security Advisor, she referred to President George W. Bush as “my husband” before abruptly correcting herself.

Hey girl, I calls ‘em as I sees ‘em.
September 28th, 2006 at 10:04 pmWell, think about it, is there any oil in Darfur? Someone has to make it worthwhile for the USA to participate in stopping genocide. All Bush cares about is his corporate pioneers. If Haliburton can’t get a piece of the action, fergit it!!! The only other thing would be if they were white and blue eyed. So, I guess hoping the USA will do anything soon will be wasted and just that hope.
September 28th, 2006 at 10:14 pmRice is a compulsive liar who doesn’t give a damn. She would much more likely be interested in Darfur if they only had oil.

I haven’t found a Republican that can tell me what their agenda is.
September 28th, 2006 at 10:58 pm3. In comment to this, I am just discusted by this display of bitter childishness….I really have no idea where it comes from. Well, now that I think about it, it must be some kind of hidden, subconscience insecurities from being a Republican kiss-up…which manifest itself into blaming someone else…for EVERYTHING. A gigantic ball of wax in the psychi that manifests as some childish blame game where your own psychi can’t handle your own errors, so you blame it on everyone else in a deperate, but subconscience, cry out for help.
September 28th, 2006 at 10:59 pm#5. both are correct ideas. The people in Dafur have no power to offer the Administration, I would hope that some other Adminstration would do something.
But ignoring genocide screams loudly that the people who control the United States care nothing for human life. How could they?
There is one psychological problem which infects murders and rapists in our justice system, those same people have the same mental disease…it’s called Anti-Social Disorder. Or, Psychopathy.

There is no answer to that, is there Jason, you just want to accuse Democrats of anything you can think of to get attention!…it’s just some damn childish game where you feel like a bigshot blaming other people and illogically interigating them so you can get energy.

29 August 2002
US President George Bush has come under surprise attack from leading American politicians at the World Summit for the “disastrous consequences” of his isolationist foreign policy.
In an early morning press conference which caused a mini-sensation in Johannesburg on Thursday, three democratic congressmen and a former state governor launched a fierce broadside against Bush for ignoring the world’s attempts to cut poverty and pollution.

Comment by JPark
We should take up a collection and send him to Disney World or something. Poor thing…
Guys, one of the most confident men I have ever known is a guy I used to work with, and he’s around 5′3″. It’s not about the height of a man, it’s all about the character of the man. I’m 5′10″, and this guy never acted the least bit intimidated by that.
September 28th, 2006 at 11:51 pmBushes Plan:
He has no plan, he condemns anyone who wants a plan, and he does as he digs. As president he is the guy who has had the most time off of any president, the guy who has aged least as president, and the guy who was in power during 9/11 and Katrina. Looking young isn’t a good thing when the nation is going to hell in a handbasket, it means you aren’t working enough.
His plan for combatting terrorism appears to be to attack an unrelated country with a leader which Bush personally doesn’t like, and keep on chanting 9/11 while calling America’s historic allies a bunch of wimps for, you know, saying that this isn’t working and they are getting the shit bombed out of them because this isn’t working.
A further point on his fight against terrorism is to give terrorists the most allies possible. For example his “Axis Of Evil” speech clearly sought to unite three countries which normally would not have any common cause between them, a secular dictatorship, a theocracy and a communist government. Bush obviously does not understand the concept of “Divide and conquor” being what you do to your enemies, not what you do with your allies.
His idea of being nasty to Pakistan has really paid dividends for America though, after all of that effort America has gone to to put an end to the Taliban? Pakistan is now neutral to them and pointing out to America that if it wants to say anything about it, America is not the only nuclear power out there.
Bush’s great concept of how to deal with people appears to be “Either hit them, or ignore them.” He does not seem to understand that there is more then one solution to any problem, and violence is always the least preferable.
His followers, people like Hendler, appear mostly to be concerned less with actual terrorism, which is a tactic that crosses all racial, political and religious divides, or fascism, a form of government most often supported by idiots, and more concerned with Islam as an enemy. They seem to feel a strange sort of relief at finally having a whole group of people with divergent views, sects and cultures that they can hate. This hatred has emboldened them into branching out into hating gay people, women, and people who just point blank don’t agree with them on matters as trivial as what comedians they find funny.
Hendler’s breed hates liberals, gays, hispanics, union workers, scientists, atheists, muslims, members of other Christian churches, conservatives who don’t agree with torture, people who are opposed to the war in Iraq, people whose homes were flooded in New Orleans, people who aren’t born in America, people who are born in America but the wrong bit of it, people who lost family in 9/11, people who lost family in Iraq, people who support stem cell research, people who support doing something about pollution, people who support actually doing something about terrorism, people who don’t make a big thing of being Americans because they don’t believe the flag should be used to divide America. When you get right down to it, it is actually easier to list the people who they like then it is to list the people they don’t.
It is a very short list really and it goes as follows:
September 29th, 2006 at 5:19 am“Hendler’s breed hates ”
Lol, what a joke, the only hatred being spewed here is by people like yourself. If he wasn’t here, you would have no one to pick on and this would be one big circle jerk! Guess that is the way dems like it!
Darfur is a lost cause as is Iraq, why because even with all human advancement and potential for good we have dickheads ready to murder each other at the drop of a hat.
Darfur, Africans killing Africans, oh wait Muslims killing Christians.
That is acceptable ofcourse because I have seen how people hate Christians here.
Iraq, Muslims killing Muslims because there is a shot to murder a United States soldier.
People have to be willing to fight for their own freedom and pay in blood for it. Otherwise they do not value what they have attained.

Question: Who is calling for people of opposing political views to be destroyed?
Answer:
So unless you want me to go out of my way to demolish you in an argument over this, I would stick around for a while and actually take a look at what Hendler generally has to say.
Now the leftwing does not actually promote war in Darfur, America can’t afford one, what it does promote is calling for worldwide sanctions on the government of Darfur, freezing its assets and organising funding to encourage neighbouring states to open their borders to people escaping genocide. We accept that after Iraq, America has not got the economic ability to go in guns blazing, but we do not accept that there is nothing that can be done.
Unlike people like Hendler, who seem to view diplomacy as being something for the weak, we believe there is more then one solution to every problem. That is the crux of Hendler’s arguments on world politics, he sees war as being the only way you can do something about anything. It is not.
September 29th, 2006 at 7:18 am#107, Bruce,
As we have seen in Iraq, Cuba and many other countries, economic sanctioons only hurt the people of a country, not the governments we are trying to contain or control.
As for diplomacy, Teddy Roosevelt said “speak softly and carry a big stick”. If you aren’t willing and able to back up negotiation with the force to do whatevery you want, then you are holding the weaker hand. Having swept through Afghanistan, Libya gave up their nuclear ambitions (having been bombed once by the US) and the Syrians left Lebanon (although Iranian backed Hezbollah hasn’t). You can only negotiate with middle easterners when the tip of your blade is at their throat.
September 29th, 2006 at 8:19 amProgs are intentionally undermining the federal and state processes that our founding fathers developed in order to force the change they desire (judicial activism, etc.), that is why they must be destroyed. Moreover, their communist friends at the ACLU (Aging Commie Leftover Union) are trying to eradicate religion and supplant it with Darwinistic teachings, which are the cornerstone of the writings of Karl Marx, Hitler and other political philosophers who want to FORCE social results that contradict human nature.
September 29th, 2006 at 8:23 am#88, Sharon,
I began by merely offering a counter to the opinions of my peers in California, and in the typical polite Missouri fashion, made my statements in question form “perhaps …”, “maybe …”, etc., only to have (what was to become) progs scream their opinions back, trying to intimidate and coerce, when I did not relent. I have learned through direct experience that progs will not debate (nor deal) honestly, and you can only crush their ability to interfere with existing political / business infrastructures. In my case, it is neither a question of height nor character, but true vision of the past, present and future.
Again, I point out the brick walls you are running headlong towards, so that when you hit them, you understand what is happening, and hopefully make good choices. If you choose to merely attack anyone with a differing opinion, then I will be there to grind you into dust – progs choice.
Progs call me a racist, because I point out my view that muslims are slaughtering tribal Negroids in northern Africa, that AIDS is decimating Negroids in sub-Saharan Africa and that African Americans, through astoundingly high illegitimate birthrates, glamorization of criminal behaviour leading to astoundingly high crime rates and prision population and persisting poor schools in black communities, are collapsing and being pushed aside by Hispanic and Asian immigrants. I could keep silent and allow these trends to persist to their inevitable end, so would that be more or less racist?

Good thing you are an engineer. Your calculus and science fundamentals are based on faith, Im guessing.
which are the cornerstone of the writings of Karl Marx, Hitler and other political philosophers who want to FORCE social results that contradict human nature.
mmmm…Karl Marx was hardly a politic. Hitler was hardly anything related with Karl Marx. You ought to check history. Republicans are closer to Nazi ideology. That was one of your stupidiest post. Delusional.

Seriously, I hope you are sterile.
#111, Juan,
I didn’t say that Marx and Hitler had identical idealogies. I stated that both referred to Darwin or Darwin’s syntax from The Origin of Species to justify forcing a social result that was at odds to human nature.
Look into Eugenics, which sprung directly from Darwin’s teachings, and its popularity prior to WWII, then you will understand how easily the Germans could accept genocide. The eugenics movement has lead to our modern policies on abortion, so Darwinism is far more destructive to human life than any religion.
September 29th, 2006 at 8:59 amso Darwinism is far more destructive to human life than any religion.
Comment by Jason+M.+Hendler
Darwin´s work is applied to natural species in biology. It is not a social description of human activities and systems. Whoever take Darwin to the human social level is wrong.
September 29th, 2006 at 9:20 amJason+M.+Hendler
Okay, ignoring the 1000 years of pure human misery that mankind suffered under religious domination, ignoring the dark ages, the various religions which have practiced human sacrifice, the fact that atheism right up until the 1700’s was a capital offense, and ignoring what religiousity did to the study of medicine (It went from being a reputable profession under the pagan Romans, to being a mostly theoretical field under the Catholic church right up until the great plague) ignoring all of that:
The reason why we have the laws we do around abortion is, women get abortions and there isn’t really much one can do about it. If the eugenics movements had any say on abortions, they would not be voluntary they would be forced upon stupid people.
Also, while Darwin has been used to justify all sorts of nasty things, one needs only point to witch hunts, the inquisitions, and this current shit we are having in the middle east to point out the sheer idiocy of your argument that religion is any better.
Next up: “speak softly and carry a big stickâ€
There are more big sticks out there then just violence, and frankly your philosophy of foreign affairs tends to miss the “Speak softly” out of it. When Bush was talking about invading Iraq, he was not exactly speaking softly, he was demanding Iraq stop doing something it wasn’t doing, and then threatening Iraq with war if it didn’t.
Further, it is all very well and good having a big stick, but if that stick is currently being employed elsewhere, like in Iraq, the guys you are threatening with it are not exactly going to act intimidated. Sometimes you need to use more then one stick to achieve your goals, and sometimes a carrot dangled in the right place can achieve more then your stick ever will.
To you there is only force, there is nothing else. To the rest of us, there is subtlety.
Oh, and don’t tell me sanctions don’t work. Sanctions were leveed on South Africa and what happened? Apartheid fell and we ended up with peaceful elections.
September 29th, 2006 at 9:20 amJust what might it take to embarass this woman; this ex-provost?
September 29th, 2006 at 9:36 amHuh? When a judge makes a decision a Conservative doesn’t agree with, who says “Lets go kill the Judge?”
A neocon. Liberals tend to say “Lets try and get the verdict overturned” or “Lets appeal and right this injustice via using the system of codes we call law” but a Republican? Hell lets just go point the dude.
When civil rights are getting trampled, you know like the right to privacy, for the sake of a war on a tactic, what do liberals say?
Unacceptable.
Neocons: Well we all have to make sacrifices for our national security and if you don’t agree, well you are just a treacherous liberal.
The right to a fair trial?
Liberals: We cannot make this a matter of war or not war, because we will be involved wars in the future. Lets keep the courts honest, and if we cannot try a POW for war crimes without revealing sources, then lets hold the POW until the end of the war as per the Geneva conventions.
Neocons: What, are you saying we should treat these guys the way we have treat all those other serial killers, war criminals and mob bosses that we have tried for their crimes since the start of our legal system? Filthy commie lib’rul.
The balance of powers between the executive branches?
Liberals: Only congress can declare war and both the Congress and the Senate need to perform a very important role in balancing out the executive, otherwise the country could degenerate into a dictatorship, whatever party is in power.
Neocons: In this day and age, section 2 of the US constitution gives the American President absolute power…
Liberals: No it doesn’t. It puts him in charge of America’s armed forces, but no where does it say he is above the law or able to issue unlawful commands. Indeed if that were the case, America would never be at peace because any wannabe tin-pot dictator once elected could…
Neocons: Shuddup lib’rul, the president has absolute power and if you don’t like it you are un-American.
The threat of Islamic terrorism?
Liberals: It is real, it is bad, but it isn’t the first or even the worst threat America has ever faced. We must not sacrifice what it means to be American, in the face of this or even when we win, we will lose.
Neocons: It is real, and it is the worst threat America has ever faced. Those dirty Islamo-fascists are out to threaten our way of life! Quick we must sacrifice all of our rights, and our ability to criticise the president, or else we will lose! Remember, we trust the president implicitly and it is not like we believe that a more corrupt guy can get into office to take advantage of the precedents he is setting.
Liberals: For once we agree on something.
Neocons: Huh?
Liberals: We can’t see a more corrupt guy getting into office any time soon either.

Bruce,
WRONG. Liberals should not be using courts to create laws. If they want a certain law, they can push it in the legislature or put it on a ballot – that is the process given to us by our founding fathers. Using courts just allowed a bunch of chicken shit legislatures to sit around and not act on issues, hoping courts would deal with controversies, so they could grandstand later.
September 29th, 2006 at 10:40 amJason+M.+Hendler
That isn’t what I am saying and you know it. I am saying if a liberal thinks for example, someone has been found guilty and they feel that someone is innocent, a liberal will say “Lets appeal the verdict.” if a conservative is found guilty and a conservative thinks he is innocent? “Lets poison the judge.”

September 29th, 2006 at 12:17 pmThanks, Jason+M.+Hendler, for reminding everyone what a necon dupe looks like. Without your unending lack of wit, lack of ethics, lack of brain cells and lack of a clue, someone might think about voting republican again.

Darfur is an example of our foolish food and economic aid programs to poor countries, that just allowed an overbreeding of non-viable culture, which are now being corrected by disease and war.
September 29th, 2006 at 4:10 pm“As long as you’re here supporting the murder of humans in Darfur alongside condasleeza, we’re all reminded of the failed policies of the Bush administration.”
Lol, what, this wasn’t happening during the Clinton administration. I forgot everything was perfect then, all people were equal and everything was right in the world? According to your type of thinking we will all be reminded of the failed policies of the Clinton administration?
The truth is the failure does not belong to either administration, it belongs to the government of Darfur first and foremost. Second in line, the cowardly and useless United Nations.
“Darfur is an example of our foolish food and economic aid programs to poor countries, that just allowed an overbreeding of non-viable culture, which are now being corrected by disease and war.”
Your correct to a point, but we in our attempts to be compassionate are hurting the development of these countries.
September 29th, 2006 at 8:05 pmThose governments keep their people in perpetual poverty to keep the aid money flowing in to their bank accounts.
#10 Jason, I just started to read the blogs. After reading about your taste in coyote ugly women I am feeling ill. Know wonder you post such silly nonsense, of all the right wing women you pick Kindasleazy Rice?!!!! Your either blind, stupid, a loser or have some foul sexual issues. Or maybe all of the above. Can’t you find someone better to fantasize about. BRRRRRRRRRR.

Liberals support murder in Darfur and all over the world, why because they are all talk and no action. This should have all been dealt with during the Clinton administraion, we are now all reminded of the failed policies of his administration! Hmm, you think if you say something like that enough times people will believe it. It’s ridiculous, right?
We can sanction the government of Darfur till we are blue in the face. The government of Darfur will bathe itself in oil profits as the people it calls the enemy starve to death. They are not afraid of the UN and they know we are overextended at the moment.
