Mister Clinton is a private citizen and may speak wherever or whatever he wishes, but anyone who mistakes his speech for U.S. government policy is a fool.

(As president, Clinton championed the 1997 Kyoto Protocol to fight global warming)

The AP are such sleaze buckets for not pointing out that Clinton never presented Kyoto to Congress as it would have been slaughtered.

Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter need to go ahead and start their own socialist country, preferably not in the Western Hemispehere.

[Tzimisce]

Clinton must be representing France....

[MNJohnnie]

Is this treason? Actively undercutting the US Govt Policy? At what point do we draw the line? Bill Clinton is NO longer a Representative of the US Govt. He is actively working to undermined the policy of the DUELY ELECTED GOVERMENT of the USA. But I guess elections don't count if you are Baby Boomer Democrat. Only your own personal emotional whimsy matters to the current generation of Democrats. Time more of them get fired from their Government jobs.

This is only what he's done publicly. Who knows what he's been doing behind the scenes.

[hershey]

Isn't that special. Our favorite sociopath hogs the spotlight, again. Everyone nauseated by now? For a few bucks he'd probably do weddings and bar mitzvahs.

[Dustbunny]

What is it with this jerk? Him and little Jimmy Carter are useless and yet their need to constantly grab the spot light never ends.

[doug from upland]

Wasn't it presented and voted down in the Senate 99-0? Am I confusing that vote with something else?

[johnqueuepublic]

This is the guy Mrs. GHWB calls son?

What evil has this admin loosed on us all?

[doug from upland]

I don't understand it. He should have his passport revoked.

[Txsleuth]

I agree...

[Petronski]

The AP are such sleaze buckets for not pointing out that
Clinton never presented Kyoto to Congress,
as it would have been slaughtered.

[sageb1]

You know, I was thinking the other day when listening to Volcker's apologist stance on Kofi Annan. Besides the probablility that someone should investigate the investigator, I want Kofi to remain where he is. We all know where he stands and what he is and he knows we know. If he stepped down, guess who would try for the job? Someone mentioned awhile back that Clinton could not apply for Kofi's job. Could someone refresh my memory as to why?

[Prime Choice]

Once again, Democrats show they care nothing about this nation; only their rank political ambitions.

I think it's time to lay down the law with this treason.

"Who knows what he's been doing behind the scenes."

Maurice Strong? Mark Malloch Brown? Marc Rich?

 It was never submitted to the Senate for ratification, but they did pass this resolution 95-0:

SRES 98 IS

Resolved, That it is the sense of the Senate that--

 

(1) the United States should not be a signatory to any protocol to, or other agreement regarding, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change of 1992, at negotiations in Kyoto in December 1997, or thereafter, which would--

(B) would result in serious harm to the economy of the United States; and

Old Slick Willie back up there trashing the US for Slickette and plugging his hot Canmadian honey, heiress/politician Belinda Stronach.

The Arkansas Grifters are endlessly entertaining, but extremely dangerous.
