Pelosi to Call for Special Envoy to Sudan
WASHINGTON - House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi is calling for the appointment of a U.S. special envoy to Sudan, where a three-year rebellion in the Darfur region has left an estimated 180,000 people dead and displaced 2 million more.

"This special envoy would signal that bringing peace and stability to Sudan is a priority for the United States," Pelosi, D-Calif., said in prepared text of a speech to be delivered Friday at the Center for National Policy.

"To do this we must stop the violence, bring the parties to the negotiating table and get humanitarian relief to the people who need it."

Her office provided an advance copy of the speech late Thursday to The Associated Press.

1. "We're" not going to die over Africans
Sadly these are the people who really need our help they need to be liberated but I guarantee if Bush decided to intervene and our soldiers got a little boo boo on their knees or even killed we would be out of there in a week because if the huge outcry.
