Former U.S. President Bill Clinton said on Wednesday the U.S. needs to work harder at making friends so it will have fewer enemies.
"In a world where we can't possibly occupy or jail or defeat every person that might wish us ill, we need to work harder to make a world with more partners and fewer terrorists," said Clinton, speaking at the groundbreaking of a new world headquarters for aid group Heifer Project International.
His successor, President Bush has launched a global "war on terrorism" since the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks on New York and Washington that have included invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq.
Clinton said greater humanitarian cooperation would make the world safer because the use of force could not curb all anti-U.S. sentiment.
The Heifer Project, founded 60 years ago in Iowa but now located in the Arkansas capital, distributes farm animals, fish and poultry to the poor in the United States and 47 other countries.
It requires recipients of its aid to give the first offspring of the donated animal to another family in poverty, who repeat the process.
The new headquarters, which will include a mock global village, is within walking distance of Clinton's presidential library, now under construction in Little Rock.

Bill is making friends in Russia. Here is his latest project. See how the casting director did his job.
Former U.S. President Bill Clinton, former Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev and the actress Sophia Loren are narrators on a new album from the Russian National Orchestra featuring Prokofiev's "Peter and the Wolf" and a new composition, "Wolf Tracks," by Jean-Pascal Beintus. The project was conceived by the orchestra and developed under the direction of Kent Nagano, who also conducts. Clinton narrates "Wolf Tracks," Loren narrates "Peter and the Wolf" and Gorbachev sets the stage for both pieces.

4-H for terrorists is more innovative than midnight basketball but less innovative then the way we are currently doing it.

Actually articles like this one should make you feel good, about how fortunate we are to have Bush as president during such challenging times, instead of Clinton.

Vivisection Time!Former U.S. President Bill Clinton said on Wednesday the U.S. needs to work harder at making friends so it will have fewer enemies.
Peace through strength, man. Peace through strength.
"In a world where we can't possibly occupy or jail or defeat every person that might wish us ill, we need to work harder to make a world with more partners and fewer terrorists," said Clinton, speaking at the groundbreaking of a new world headquarters for aid group Heifer Project International.
So...because we can't catch every criminal, we should just give up and start being chummy with them??
Spoken like the true whacknut Leftist that Clinton is.
His successor, President Bush has launched a global "war on terrorism" since the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks on New York and Washington that have included invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq.
A terrorist attack planned while Clinton was busy kissing terrorist butt, I might add.
Clinton said greater humanitarian cooperation would make the world safer because the use of force could not curb all anti-U.S. sentiment.
Bull. We've been doing all manner of humanitarian assistance throughout the years and we still get terrorists trying to kill us.
And in case Idiot Clinton hasn't noticed, ALL of the big-time terrorists (dead, captured and at-large) came from lives of luxury. And many were educated in the United States.
Pretty much puts to rest the whole poverty-begets-terrorism claptrap these morons spew.
(Gag) No doubt about it...Idiot Clinton is gunning to head up the U.N. and continue his anti-American reign of stupidity. God help us all.

Cute. But why are you insulting monkeys? ;)
I personally think they are far superior to Clinton.
Maybe you should show the sequence the other way around. :)
To: FairOpinion
Clinton is all of a sudden in the news two or three times a week. He knows that by doing this, he is making the current crop of Democratic presidential candidates look small, and attenuating their ability to get their message out. He's the Big Democrat, and he's not going to let any other Big Democrat emerge.
If I had a mind-reading machine I would be able to tell whether he's doing this to pave the way for a last-minute "Hillary saves the party from the small, boring candidates" move, or just because he realizes that he's not going to be The Big Democrat much longer, and he's fighting the tides. |

I was wondering the same thing, what did Bubba do? He ignored and in fact, covered us the terrorists acts during his administration because he wanted to be the guy who made the country so wonderful.

Or he is Laying the groundwork for a Hillary run in 2004.
From Drudge:

H. Clinton 43%

Lieberman 8

Kerry 7

Sharpton 1

Kucinich 1
Undec. 10
--Source: QUINNIPIAC UNIVERSTIY, conducted 10/23-27; 403 regis. Dems nationwide; margin of error of +/- 4.9%...
To: Nick Danger
Both. Bill & hill can't afford to wait until 2008, because there's no way they can hold onto power that long without a power base.
The FBI files have considerable staying power, but even they will gradually lose their relevance as time passes.

As of this week I'm starting to believe that the latter is the case. I used to think there was a calculated, long-term plan behind everything Clinton says in his public statements, but lately his comments have started to sound incoherent and downright bizarre. His recent statement about Tony Blair's health issue, in which he claimed to have knwon about this several years ago (though, Blair, in fact, had never had any similar problem in the past) is a perfect case in point.
