Senator Obama speaks out on Darfur

Last November, the Save Darfur Coalition sat down with Senators Clinton, McCain and Obama, to get their opinions on the Darfur genocide. This week, we will feature each of these video statements that highlight the candidates' opinions and policies on Darfur.

Today, we begin with Senator Barack Obama. In November, Senator Obama told Save Darfur that 

"We've got to have a protective force on the ground. Its now been authorized by the United Nations Security Council, but we have to push through any additional resistance that there may be. The United Sates has to make firm committments in terms of the logistics and the transport and the eqipping of these troops to make sure that their actually effective on the ground."
