RE: Here is why we should occupy Congo No, not many muslims. But there are a lot of PanAfrican Nationalists, many of whom dream of uniting the continent into one powerful nation, big enough to be economically viable, nationalise all the natural resources, and kick out all the US multinationals. That could be as bad as Bin Laden. And after uniting Africa, they'll probably have ambitions to conquer Haiti, Harlem, and Mississippi. Best to take preventive action now, before they form an alliance with N. Korea and Pakistan. Imagine a Congo armed with nuclear weapons, and missiles that can reach the U.S., threatening to cut off the U.S. supply of (palm) oil, unless we set up an Autonomous African-American State ruled by Farrakhan. The future is grim, unless we act now.

Africa will have to wait its turn, there are a lot of people starving over there, and intervention would make things far worse. The Generals are all busy now and and we are running out of food and water to keep Iraq going. They have this War business down to a fine art now, with average casualties for the last three down to 236 and this one will be even less ,despite coming up against a very well-armed entire country that used every trick in the book plus some new inventions like the pick-up trucks with machine guns and body bombers So our operation in Iraq deserves a new word,.other than "'war" , since it is more resembles a peace march with 300,0000 missionaries than an old traditional war. Handing out food and water to starving dehydrated civilians Sig
