Although Clinton probably does want to be the first
President of the World, there are some problems.
1. The UN charter would have to be changed, because
the UN SecGen can't be a citizen of a Security Council nation.
2. There would have to be a Dem US President, for the
nomination to happen.
3. The member nations would have to vote him in.
The interesting thing about the UN thing is the timing.
It was announced at the same time the Kerry camp was
promising that BJC would be joining Kerry campaigning.
Is Bill laying out his terms for helping Kerry?
Or is Bill suffering "pump head", the mild-to-serious,
temporary-to-permanent dementia associated with the
use of heart-lung machines?
What a disturbing thread.... The world would give him #1 and #3 in a second just to spite GWB. #2 blocks it but in essence, that would be the only thing that would block it. I have thought through many undesirable scenarios should Kerry become president, but this one takes the cake.
Well I draw a lot of comfort from your point #1, though I wouldn't put it past the Clintons to figure a way around it.
As for point 2...God forbid Kerry wins, but then next around the corner is Hillary
As for point 3...the third world -- who really control the UN -- love Slick Willy; why do you think he set his sights on this?
This is a nightmare forming and has to be derailed sooner rather than later.
1) You give legitimate reasons for why WJC cannot be UN SecGen; however, since when did rules ever apply to them?
2) WJC has been out of the media spotlight for +6 weeks after his surgery and its obvious he's not going to campaign for JFK - you pick the reason. There has to be some artifical reason to get his name back in circulation with the leftist chattering class. Ergo, the SecGen "floater".
