So have they replaced the board that just quit due to corruption for the Katrina fund?
Far more plausible!

Since the 1790s.

To truly understand what it means, you have to read the fine print on the back side. viz.

He is, in fact, shi'ite..
And the Dims keep asking why "WE" keep bringing him up!
I was with the writer completely, up until the point that he started making fun of Ted. Ted is a U.S. Senator, and should be referred to by his earned title, viz. "Senator Kennedy (Drunken Murderer, MA). Alternatively, another title which displays the honor that has earned could be used, that of "Captain Oldsmobile."
Sheesh, people have no respect these days. (/sarc)
It was dispropotionate. I think Israel should have retaliated with one bomb each bomb from from Lebanon, and Gaza Strip....using neutron bombs.
I don't know if you've ever served in the military, but I don't think most commanders would consider Bill Clinton to be an asset to their units. Better he should stay home and shoot his mouth off, already, and let the boys who know how do the fighting.

BILL CLINTON WOULD TAKE UP ARMS AND “FIGHT AND DIE” FOR ISRAEL
Bill Clinton has said that he would take up arms and "fight and die" for Israel if Iraq attacks the Jewish state. The remarks, made last week at a Jewish children's fund-raiser in Canada, were first reported in the Toronto Star, and then given prominence on Friday as the cover story in the New York Post.
I attach the New York Post article below, followed by a story from the Washington Times which notes that many U.S. veterans are "outraged" and "mystified" by Clinton's new "gung-ho attitude," especially considering the lengths to which he went to avoid serving in Vietnam.
While some commentators in the U.S. media have welcomed Clinton's apparent show of support for Israel, others have accused him of "a shameless bid to be invited to address other Jewish fund-raisers" for which he is paid $100,000 a pop, and said "he should sign up today – to fight for the U.S. in Afghanistan."
Clinton also confirmed that contrary to what continues to be reported by anti-Israel elements in the western media, Yasser Arafat was offered control of 97 percent of the West Bank while he was president.

“I WOULD GRAB A RIFLE AND GET IN THE TRENCH…”
Bubba: I'd fight and die for Israel
By Andy Geller and Richard Johnson
New York Post

Bill Clinton – who avoided serving in Vietnam – says he would take up arms and "fight and die" for Israel if Iraq attacks the Jewish state.
"If Iraq came across the Jordan River, I would grab a rifle and get in the trench and fight and die," the ex-president said to wild applause at a Jewish fund-raiser in Toronto.
Clinton made his bombshell remarks to 350 people who paid $1,000 to break bread with him on Monday night at a dinner for the Toronto Hadassah-WIZO children's charity.
Clinton, who tried but failed to make peace in the Middle East the legacy of his presidency, decried the current cycle of violence in Israel.
"I don't think there is a military solution to this," he said. "But I know there's not a terrorist solution to it."
Clinton also said he disagreed with President Bush that peace can be achieved only when Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat is gone from power.
Nevertheless, he said it is important for the United States to remain involved because "Israelis believe that America is the only big country that cares if they live or die."
The ex-president said the best solution to the Middle East conflict is an interim settlement that would "establish a Palestinian state now."
But he stressed that the creation of such a state must be preceded by security assurances for Israel and a timetable to resolve other issues.
Clinton said Arafat made a "disastrous mistake" by turning down past peace proposals that would have given the Palestinian leader control of 97 percent of the West Bank.
Yet, Clinton said, "There is reason for hope.
"I think this will be resolved on the terms the Palestinians walked away from."
Clinton couldn't be reached for comment yesterday because he was on a plane to Aspen, Colo., his spokeswoman said.
Clinton, who opposed the Vietnam War, signed up for the ROTC to avoid immediate induction when he received a draft call in 1969.
He later changed his mind about the ROTC and decided to take his chances with the new draft lottery.

Not unexpected. Billy wants to jump any hole he sees.
Excellent article!
I've not been in the military but it seems fairly obvious BJ is not an asset to any worthwhile purpose...

Blind Freddy and his dog could see that coming!
