At least he's being honest!

You have to give it to Sen. Obama. He's being honest. at least he's willing to step up to the plate and admit that he's cool with an Iraqi genocide.

He is right, though, we absolutely should be intervening in the Congo and in Darfur. Of course, he's saying that sarcastically because he's cool with standing by and hoping you can talk the sick and twisted killers who have murdered hundreds of thousands of Darfuri into stopping. At least, though, you have a Democrat who's willing to stand up and say, "We have the power to stop genocide and frankly it's just not worth it." The moral vacancy of this position notwithstanding, he does get points for honesty.

It's a worthwhile debate and it's sickening that the rest of the democrats - who are either morally vacant or whose ignorance shows unimaginable incompetence - aren't willing to stand up and say that no, it's not worth the lives of a few thousand Americans to ensure that millions or Iraqis or Africans aren't slaughtered.

White House Hopeful Barack Obama Says Preventing Genocide Isn't Reason to Keep U.S. Troops in Iraq

Sunapee, New Hampshire - Democratic president hopeful Barack Obama said the United States cannot use its military to solve humanitarian problems and that preventing a potential genocide in Iraq is not a good enough reason to keep U.S. forces there.

"Well, look, if that's the criteria by which we are making decisions on the deployment of U.S. forces, then by that argument you would have 300,000 troops in the Congo right now — where millions have been slaughtered as a consequence of ethnic strife — which we haven't done," Obama said Thursday in an interview with The Associated Press.

"We would be deploying unilaterally and occupying the Sudan, which we haven't done. Those of us who care about Darfur don't think it would be a good idea," he said.
