Now, maybe up to 700,000 troops in Sudan: Yeah.. saw that on Drudge last night (noticed he's pulled the link). But I'm not buying it. There may be advisors (and that would be an interesting turn of events), but the logistics involved in supporting that quantity of manpower is beyond them. In fact, it would probably surpass our ability to accomplish at the moment. I certainly have no idea where they would be hiding in Sudanese countryside. I searched the web last night and couldn't find ANYTHING other than China Petroleum's interests in Sudan. Regards, Ron

The link you cited mentions "tens of thousands", where did the 700,000 figure come from? There's a bit of a difference, and even the lower figure seems barely credible. Given the distance involved, such a deployment could hardly be kept secret, and the logistics would be a nightmare: the Sudanese can barely feed their own people. It would also cost more than the interests in question are likely to yield. I don't buy it either.
