Dean is a terrible candidate, read this LBN
OK, this is the only way that I could people's attention on DU.
Mention something positive or negative about Dean
Can more than three people COMMENT about Liberia.
Please!

http://customwire.ap.org/dynamic/stories/L/LIBERIA?SITE=PAPIT&SECTION=HOME

This post has nothing to do with Dean. Again, I just want to get people's attention so they can focus on Liberia.

4. Did you read the article?
It is late breaking news, like what is going on right now.

3. Well you got my attention.
The situation there is desperate and our fearless leader is too mean and evil to care. We need to start pressuring congress on our own.
Unfortunately it is a poor country without any oil or other valuable products that we need so our politicians will not care.

We did the same thing in Rwawanda (sp) and millions died because we didnt act.

5. That was my whole point
I posted some things about Liberia before and maybe got two or three replies.
Posted something about Dean and got at least 85.

Figure it out.

8. LBN Rules
Require you to post the headline of the article as the thread title. This violates the rules, ergo, it's gonna get locked.

10. How does one reply to what we should do about Liberia? I read your post
as probably did many other DU'ers, but what can one say?

Just because you don't get an answer or a discussion doesn't mean that folks didn't read your post.

And, this doesn't really belong in LBN. Just keep "kicking" your post if you want attention, or add some comments of your own that people can reply to.

I don't know what to do about Liberia. We have enough on our plates with Iraq/Afghanistan. Do you want Bush to screw up Liberia worse than it is?

Where do we get more troops to intervene? Do we impose the Draft? We already have 49 year old Reservists being called to duty here in NC and asked to stay for a year in Iraq. How much more can we do?

You need to follow LBN rules if you're going to post here. Yes, your story was late-breaking. But your subject was misleading.

18. To quote Dean: "The ends do not justify the means"
There's just a few basic rules we all need to follow here, why do you feel your post is a "special case?"

"6. When posting articles, please use the published title of the article as the title of the discussion thread."

6. The Rapture won't happen in Liberia
Think of Dimwit Delay's recent trip to the Middle East warning AGAINST a Palestinian State. According to Left Behind idiots, a Palestinian State won't bring about the Rapture. DeLay is the most frightening of all--a true believer. Gotta base foreign policy on what two idiots write in some books.

16. Liberia has put Bush in a Catch 22 (his own doing).
He went into Iraq on hyped evidence. One of two things could then happen: Either he'd get lucky and the WMD "evidence" would turn out to be true, or it would not (much more likely given the actual evidence we had). In the latter case, the hope would be that people would accept that we had to do it anyway because Saddam was a tyrant, "a brutal dictator who tortures and kills his own people," "look at the mass graves!", etc.

Problem is, now that we know the latter to be true, Bush has put himself into a position where, to be consistent and not lose even MORE credibility, he HAS to intervene militarily in nations like Liberia. People are dying, their leader is "a brutal dictator who tortures and kills his own people," and there are probably more than a few mass graves hidden around the country (shades of Rwanda).

But then he CAN'T intevene militarily in Liberia (at least not in a significant way) because our troops are stretched thin, our young men and women are already dying at a rate the public does not find acceptable (given the questionable gains), and he's lost the credibility to go before the American people and ask them for this.

Liberia represents the chickens coming home to roost for George, as will every other attempt at military intervention for the remainder of his term. This is not to say we shouldn't intervene. Perhaps it is more worthy a cause, given the relative costs and gains. But W's bloodlust for Iraq has thrown a monkey wrench into everything.

20. Thank you for bringing this to my attention
I must say the only knowledge I have about Liberia, is Mr. Taylor & the Pat Robertson connection!

Where are the American troops? Didn't junior say troops were on the way?
