Well I read This is an outrageous attempt by Bush to gain political clout. There is no question that Obama is going to support Darfur refugees. President Bush realizes that he must do something now or else he will look like a complete diabolical monster when Obama does. For five years we failed to do anything for Darfur. I think Obama's must will do complete as soon as possible.

U know people should think before they talk. why must it be BUSH WHEN ALL YOUR AFRICAN LEADERS JUST LAZE AROUND WITH ONE EXCEPTION. WHEN THE WHITE MAN COMES IN ONE OF YOUR LEADERS LIKE BOB MUGABE ARE YELLING THEIR GUTS OUT AT HIM LIKE ZIM IS MINE KEEP YOUR BRITAIN. HAVENT U LEARNT THE WAYS OF A HONKY!!!
THE WHITE MAN MUST DO EVERYTHING E.G. TAKE CARE OF THOSE SOMALI PIRATES ETC. WHILE YOUR LEADERS JUST PUT THEIR HANDS OUT TO BEG AND STASH ALL THE AID MONEY IN THEIR SWISS ACCOUNTS
This is/was long overdue. How long must Darfur suffer under the ignorant regime of Omar Bashir. By the time Obama is done with fixing the economy, Iraq, Afghanistan, etc, Darfurians would have been wiped out. Good for Bush: better late than never at all. Darfurians will take it no matter what the detractors feel about it.
Thank you andrew for looking deeper than the outer colour of this whole issue. The sudan problem is a complex one that even has the ugly hands of Bin Laden in it. Remember it is muslim against muslim and what is shocking is that no arab country or leader is even whispering about it! worst still, sudan's president Bashir is getting support from his arab friends to fuel the Janjaweed. the US is getting very little out of sudan, so, although Bush has been very careful not to use the buzzword of the clinton administration: 'US interest', the policies are intrinsically the same. i was in uganda when clinton visited there more than a decade ago, he waived away the booing from the crowd in rwanda and apologised 'for not doing enough'. we shall hear many more apologies like this in years to come when there will be no 'black sudanese!'
Of course sometimes it happens, even if an intervention is done, that the individual will not face that he or she has to go in a rehabilitation program. It usually takes some time for the individual to see the truth and be able to face his problems. But the intervention is always valuable, even if at first it does not look like it. The individual might call you back way later and let you know that he necessitates getting in a rehab, that’s when you’ll realize the intervention helped extremely Listen. If during your drug or alcohol intervention the addict begins asking questions like; Where would I have to go? How long would I be there? These are signs that he is reaching for help. Do not directly answer these questions. Instead have him call in to talk to a professional. Support him. The family and person attending the intervention should definitely express their concerns but not to sympathize with the addict. Sympathy is a form of agreement and can back fire by justifying the dependency. Without any anger or fear, the addict should “get” from all the people present that the situation is known and that he/she needs to go to treatment. Don’t allow stories of family problems and life’s troubles sway the attention off the point that the individual has a problem and needs to seek help fixing it. This is where the family’s preparation pays off. Do not wait. Once you’ve gotten his agreement, get him admitted immediately. Therefore, you should have a bag packed for him, any travel arrangements made, and prior acceptance into a treatment. An intervention well planned has a high success

This is an outrageous attempt by Bush to gain political clout. There is no question that Obama is going to support Darfur refugees. President Bush realizes that he must do something now or else he will look like a complete diabolical monster when Obama does. For five years we failed to do anything for Darfur. Now, with just 15 days left in the Bush presidency we actually air lift equipment that has been sitting around in Rwanda. I don't think any one is ever going to give Bush credit for this. I can't believe that he could be so low as to use Darfur for political collateral. Kristoff is absolutely spot on. After Russia invaded Georgia we somehow pulled a billion dollars out of thin air for the Georgians. Yet, after nearly 8 years we barely get around to Darfur. This is as ludicrous as it is depraved.
