Since we're discussing Hillary, I thought I'd put this here, although it's off the topic of the Plantation remark.

Hillary has attacked the administration on the issue of Iran. But last year, her husband told a forum he admired Iran very much.

Here is what Clinton said at a meeting on the margins of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland:

“Iran today is, in a sense, the only country where progressive ideas enjoy a vast constituency. It is there that the ideas that I subscribe to are defended by a majority.”

And here is what Clinton had to say in a recent television interview with Charlie Rose:

“Iran is the only country in the world that has now had six elections since the first election of President Khatami (in 1997). (It is) the only one with elections, including the United States, including Israel, including you name it, where the liberals, or the progressives, have won two-thirds to 70 percent of the vote in six elections: Two for president; two for the Parliament, the Majlis; two for the mayoralties. In every single election, the guys I identify with got two-thirds to 70 percent of the vote. There is no other country in the world I can say that about, certainly not my own.”

The more I hear her speak in public the less I think she'll be elected. DemocRATS are starting to float Mark Warner over her. Either way, the less the Left has control over the media (FoxNews, Talk Radio, Internet), the less their chances of regaining power.

I think what Bill Clinton was trying to say there is that the Iranian people want reform. There really are 2 different Irans, one is the government of old Islamofascists, and the other is the people of Iran, most of whom are young and progressive and want better ties with the west. Bill Clinton was praising the younger more progressive Iran.

Also off topic but interesting ~ while doing an image search yesterday I ran across this web page which focused on a report from 2003:

"American monument dedicated to Al Qaeda fighters"

Clinton honors Al Qaeda

Date: Saturday, March 20, 2003
Place: Srebrenica-Potocari Memorial and Cemetery, Bosnia
Event: Clinton opens a monument dedicated to Al Qaeda fighters and bows to it! "What is this monument inscribed in Arabic script doing in Bosnia? What is it doing in the Western media declared "Heart of Europe?" None of the peoples of ex-Yugoslavia speak or understand Arabic. None. None of the Bosnian Muslims with exception of maybe a tiny minority of Islam clergy understands Arabic. So, for whom was this monument erected? The only answer to the puzzle could be the fact that round 10,000 foreign volunteers, jihad fighters, fought against the Christian population of Bosnia-Herzegovina. Most of these Islamic fanatics, members of Al Qaeda, came from Arab speaking countries.

And that is the answer to the puzzle.

America has right to know. As you will see from the text that follows - American government invested ONE MILLION dollars into this monument."

The above is an excerpt - the article continues at: "American monument dedicated to Al Qaeda fighters""

RE: "Here is what Clinton said...(about Iran)"

Ah, then... Perhaps Billy-Jeff, and his 'lovely wife', just ought to strongly consider MOVING there....

WE certainly wouldn't miss them... and they'd likely 'fit right in', given their views on the 'appropriate misssion' of (big) government in all our lives, and the relative UNimportance of individual citizens' constitutional rights...
