That's so ridiculous it's hilarious. Obama's got more important things
to do than to waste time with this nonsense.

Perhaps this is a sign that Glenn Beck is working behind-the-scenes as
the new Republican campaign manager? If so, then three cheers for
Glenn because he's really doing an excellent job with regard to the
Republican party's reputation and future!

Andy Borowitz is a hilarious satirist so I'm assuming this is his usual

It is scary that the Republican party has become so loony that one could
almost take the story seriously. After all it is not that much sillier than
what they have actually done.

Thanks Jeanne, I missed that but I'm going to look into it (if anyone
has a link to a YouTube video of it, please do share).

> Clearly she is no one to mess with lightly.

Both Hillary Clinton, and her husband, Bill, are highly intelligent
people that the USA are fortunate to have watching out for them due to
their interest in running the country well with aims of international
cooperation in a reasonable win-win manner. The Republicans impress me
as being arrogant war mongers rather than collaborative diplomats.

If someone presented a reasonable argument, I'm sure that Hillary would
consider it objectively (because that's what many intelligent people
strive for). The problem is that the Republican opposition are
generally unreasonable, often resembling spoiled children having
tantrum after tantrum because they don't want to adhere to the rules of
the playground.

I particularly liked how Hillary rejected Islamic fundamentalist
pressure to place limits on every American's right to freedom of
expression (see the quotation below my signature), and it's a rejection
that applies to every religious community that tries to apply such
pressure. This, no doubt, is likely one of the larger of many reasons
that the Republicans are so vehemently opposed to anything that the
Democrats do (the Republicans seem to have party membership comprised
of a lot of religious right-wing-nut types who seem to want freedom to
take a backseat to their religious ideals).

The main problem with trying to satisfy religious right-wing-nuts is
that they're generally crazy and/or that they can never be satisfied
simply because it's impossible to run a country rationally based
entirely on violent and self-contradicting religious doctrine.

I'm very happy for the USA that they have Obama (I think Hillary would
have been excellent as President too) since he impresses me as another
person of very high intellect. It's a shame that the congressional
playground was inhibited by bullying tactics from the Republicans for
so long though, because this seems to have had the effect of retarding
important government processes instead focusing on serving US citizens.

"Our country does have a long tradition of free expression, which is

the world about the outer limits of free speech and free expression,
but there should be no debate about the simple proposition that
'violence in response to speech' is not acceptable. We all, weather we
are leaders in government, leaders in civil society, or religious
leaders, must draw the line at violence, and any responsible leader
should be standing up now and drawing that line."

as many people in the 21st century.
What's the difference?
This time, you think the victim could be you,"
Clinton'07




OBAMA, for all his narcissism,
merely shows up both Clinton's
in how actually easy it was to achive.





What Clinton Didn't Do . . .
. . . .and when he didn't do it.

.... let us examine Mr. Clinton's war on terror. Some 38
days after he was sworn in, al Qaeda attacked the World Trade Center. He
did not visit the twin towers that year, even though four days after the
attack he was just across the Hudson River in New Jersey, talking about
job training. He made no attempt to rally the public against terrorism.
His only public speech on the bombing was a few paragraphs inserted into a
radio address mostly devoted to an economic stimulus package. Those stray
paragraphs were limited to reassuring the public and thanking the
rescuers, the kinds of things governors say after hurricanes. He did not
even vow to bring the bombers to justice. Instead, he turned the first
terrorist attack on American soil over to the FBI.

In his Fox interview, Mr. Clinton said "no one knew that al Qaeda existed"
in October 1993, during the tragic events in Somalia. But his national
security adviser, Tony Lake, told me that he first learned of bin Laden
"sometime in 1993," when he was thought of as a terror financier. U.S.
Army Capt. James Francis Yacone, a black hawk squadron commander in
Somalia, later testified that radio intercepts of enemy mortar crews
firing at Americans were in Arabic, not Somali, suggesting the work of bin
Laden's agents (who spoke Arabic), not warlord Farah Aideed's men (who did
not). CIA and DIA reports also placed al Qaeda operatives in Somalia at
the time.

By the end of Mr. Clinton's first year, al Qaeda had apparently attacked
twice. The attacks would continue for every one of the Clinton years.

� In 1994, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (who would later plan the 9/11 attacks)
launched "Operation Bojinka" to down 11 U.S. planes simultaneously over
the Pacific. A sharp-eyed Filipina police officer foiled the plot. The
sole American response: increased law-enforcement cooperation with the
Philippines.

� In 1995, al Qaeda detonated a 220-pound car bomb outside the Office of
Program Manager in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, killing five Americans and
wounding 60 more. The FBI was sent in.

� In 1996, al Qaeda bombed the barracks of American pilots patrolling the
"no-fly zones" over Iraq, killing 19. Again, the FBI responded.

� In 1997, al Qaeda consolidated its position in Afghanistan and bin Laden
repeatedly declared war on the U.S. In February, bin Laden told an Arab TV
network: "If someone can kill an American soldier, it is better than
wasting time on other matters." No response from the Clinton
administration.

� In 1998, al Qaeda simultaneously bombed U.S. embassies in Kenya and
Tanzania, killing 224, including 12 U.S. diplomats. Mr. Clinton ordered
cruise-missile strikes on Afghanistan and Sudan in response. Here Mr.
Clinton's critics are wrong: The president was right to retaliate when
America was attacked, irrespective of the Monica Lewinsky case.

Still, "Operation Infinite Reach" was weakened by Clintonian compromise.
The State Department feared that Pakistan might spot the American missiles
in its air space and misinterpret it as an Indian attack. So Mr. Clinton
told Gen. Joe Ralston, vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, to
notify Pakistan's army minutes before the Tomahawks passed over Pakistan.
Given Pakistan's links to jihadis at the time, it is not surprising that
bin Laden was tipped off, fleeing some 45 minutes before the missiles
arrived.

� In 1999, the Clinton administration disrupted al Qaeda's Millennium
plots, a series of bombings stretching from Amman to Los Angeles. This
shining success was mostly the work of Richard Clarke, a NSC senior
director who forced agencies to work together. But the Millennium approach
was shortlived. Over Mr. Clarke's objections, policy reverted to the
status quo.

� In January 2000, al Qaeda tried and failed to attack the U.S.S. The
Sullivans off Yemen. (Their boat sank before they could reach their
target.) But in October 2000, an al Qaeda bomb ripped a hole in the hull
of the U.S.S. Cole, killing 17 sailors and wounding another 39.

When Mr. Clarke presented a plan to launch a massive cruise missile strike
on al Qaeda and Taliban facilities in Afghanistan, the Clinton cabinet
voted against it. After the meeting, a State Department counterterrorism
official, Michael Sheehan, sought out Mr. Clarke. Both told me that they
were stunned. Mr. Sheehan asked Mr. Clarke: "What's it going to take to
get them to hit al Qaeda in Afghanistan? Does al Qaeda have to attack the
Pentagon?"

There is much more to Mr. Clinton's record--how Predator drones, which
spotted bin Laden three times in 1999 and 2000, were grounded by
bureaucratic infighting; how a petty dispute with an Arizona senator
stopped the CIA from hiring more Arabic translators. While it is easy to
look back in hindsight and blame Bill Clinton, the full scale and nature
of the terrorist threat was not widely appreciated until 9/11. Still: Bill
Clinton did not fully grasp that he was at war. Nor did he intuit that war
requires overcoming bureaucratic objections and a democracy's natural
reluctance to use force. That is a hard lesson. But it is better to learn
it from studying the Clinton years than reliving them.

Putting Bill Clinton On the Couch
Monica Lewinsky represented something very important to Clinton
psychologically. She looked like his mother, Virginia, who had
recently died. Clinton kept saying how much she reminded him of
his mother.

Monica kept saying she felt like she was having a relationship with a
lost little boy. This is the President of the United States. She was an
intern. Yet she felt maternal in her relationship with him.

The saddest ones are those who KNEW that Clinton was never a pushover
from watching her testify on her health care bill 20 years ago.

But maybe they actually believed their silly conspiracy theory that she
didn't have that blood clot and was only faking it because she was
a-skeert of Congress.

Yet another KO0k with the inability to objective look at Reality due
to beliefs, bigotry, prejudices, and pride in their willful ignorance.

The Republican's extremely fake, hate-based "Benghazi-gate" is so over
with, it is nearly a dead horse, or rather elephant -- and when the
beast straves itself to death, only to be morned by conspiracy KO0ks,
then the rational people won't have to beat it any more.

All will be well.
