"ORLANDO, Fla., Feb. 17 -- President Bush on Friday called for doubling the number of international troops in the war-ravaged Darfur region of Sudan and a bigger role for NATO in the peacekeeping effort."
Well, he would say that, wouldn't he.
The latest figure I can find for US troop deployment in the whole of Sudan is 2, as at July 2005. I doubt whether he's offering an increase.

Hasn't the civil war in the Sudan been going on for years and years? Isn't that exactly the kind of thing the UN was put in place to handle?

Yes it has and now there is all the horror of ethnic cleansing as well. The United Nations has no authority to do anything unless member states can decide on a course of action and none of the security council use the veto. Having former colonial powers involved would probably be a mistake, maybe troops from some of the arab countries would be better.
