Who Do You Believe? War Crime Indicted Sudan President Bashir? Or Your Eyes and Ears?

Posted: 04/17/2012 1:00 pm

As you know, I went to South Sudan and Sudan over the past weekend with Reverend Franklin Graham and Samaritans Purse.

The President of Sudan, President Bashir, is under indictment for war crimes and genocide for atrocities he committed in the western part of his country (Darfur.)

Now he is bombing his own people in another part of his country, the Nuba Mountain area.

He denies it.

So... watch this video and tell me if he is telling the truth or not? Is this area bombed or are you imagining it?

By the way, it is a war crime to target civilians -- targets like schools full of children. I am told these two bombs were dropped mid day but luckily missed the only target in the area -- this school.

Watch and comment! And tell me what, if anything, you think the US should do?

Wow! What an amazing array of comments here on this post. So did all these folks search out Greta Van Susteren's post just to heckle the "Fox folks" with no regard for the human beings and their suffering that she is trying to bring to our attention? What a delightful bunch. Wish I could hang out with the whole lot of em. (not)

Sad for the lack of depth and compassion in all those on here who are doing nothing more than spitting venom in the wind.

For those who sincerely want to know what you can do:
How about speak out against genocide? President Obama seems to have lost his voice of advocacy somewhere after becoming president. He hasn't said a thing about the massacres of the ancient people of the Nile Kingdoms of Kush in the Nuba Mountains who are dying by the thousands on his watch!

I thought that this was the place to go for compassionate people, not Fox. Thank you Ms. Van Susteren for your efforts to reveal these atrocities. Sorry for the less than compassionate response by some on this thread. I'm sure the Huff post folks are embarrassed for their less than kind readers posting such insensitive remarks.

Unless those bombs were very big ones, I think the pilots hit some already existing holes. Not everybody in his gov, likes him. IMO

The US should give help to those who want it, and leave alone those who don't. We should rebuilding that school right now, if they want it. Time to kill with kindness, we have to let these violent idiots know we will fix anything they break ASAP. any kind of fighter is going to know he's onto a looser if the international community comes into to fix their damage, and it should be the international community rahter than America alone. America is a toxic brand, you can't do right for wrong, your best and well meant efforts get written off as American Imperialism and the haters/enemies grow.

Why do you work for a network which has a sponsor of terrorism (Saudi Prince) as a major financial investor who influences the networks coverage?

I heard that Bashir floated the idea that those craters were caused by the failed North Korean missle test?

Great, thanks for the journalism and highlighting this, yet another, atrocity of more reckless folks in power.
What should the US do? Broadcast to the world that this is a mission for all mankind - not just the US and point directly into the faces of each and very country not involved in this mission and/or like missions. Call each country out individually, and keep on broadcasting the message until everyone knows and everyone cares. The power of the press + the leader of the free world - that's one strong voice.

THe only thing in the area is a school? Who builds schools far away from all the students? Military barracks look just like those buildings.
In fact they look just like the ones that were built at El Toro back in the 1950's

Question is, 'what is America supposed to do about it'? How many more hundreds of billions of annual promissory defense dollars will be spent, on wiping other countries' backsides, and when are some of the other 200+ countries around the world going to start pitching in, fixing their own problems, fighting their own wars, and helping their direct neighbors?

Frankly Ms. Van Susteren I. Don`t see any Moral, or Ethical difference between Barack " The Hypocrite of Grant Park " Obama`s, Contractor Globalizationist Campaign of Assassination and " Star Wars " Terrorism, and the " In-humanitarian " deeds of Middle Eastern Despots like Bashir and Qaddafi.
That Old Tory Bourgeoisie Bologney about Us(?) being the " Chosen People " might stand on Sunday Morning Independent Television; But It Don`t Pass Mustard on my Picnic Table Dagwood and Beer !

Since nothing in the media is true anymore, I think I believe President Bashir.
