US and Bashir

Did I not tell you that I smell a dirty deal between the Obama administration and the Sudanese dictator?  "Frustrated by a year of setbacks and violence and a looming refugee crisis in a country whose birth it midwifed last summer, the Obama administration sent its top diplomat to dispense some stern advice Friday. Make lasting peace and an oil deal with Sudan, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton told South Sudan’s president, Salva Kiir, one day after a United Nations deadline for the countries to make progress toward resolving their bitter differences. Sanctions on both are possible if fighting continues." (thanks Laleh)
