Townhall.com::Questions before going into Darfur::By Michael Barone

Joseph Biden wants the United States to intervene with military force to stop the genocide that he and George W. Bush say is going on in Darfur.

"We should enforce a no-fly zone, impose multilateral sanctions through the U.N., lead negotiations among all the parties for a lasting peace settlement, find the forces for a peacekeeping mission and, if necessary, commit U.S. troops on the ground," he said in a statement.

Biden is chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee and a candidate for president, and he deserves to be taken seriously. My questions for him: How many U.S. troops would you put "on the ground"? For how long? What is your strategy for winning? And do you have an exit strategy absent victory?

The U.S. would only intervene directly to placate its own African-American population, vis-a-vis the agenda of The Hildabeast and her Vice, Obama Bin Laden. That would make the intervention illigitimate.

@Drnaline,
Funny, doesn't that sound like Iraq to you all over again? Only dif i see is one is supposedly humanitarian and the other supposed self interest.

@Drnaline,
Right. It's crazy. If lives are saved, it's worth it. It's the geo-politics and domestic politics that complicate all of this.
