NOTE: clinton's 'urgency and outrage' were not about the genocide. They were all about his legacy.


A few years later, in a series in The New Yorker, Philip Gourevitch recounted in horrific detail
the story of the genocide and the world's failure to stop it. President Bill Clinton, a famously avid reader, expressed shock. He sent copies of Gourevitch's articles to his second-term national-security adviser, Sandy Berger. The articles bore confused, angry, searching queries in the margins. "Is what he's saying true?" Clinton wrote with a thick black felt-tip pen beside heavily underlined paragraphs. "How did this happen?" he asked, adding, "I want to get to the bottom of this." The President's urgency and outrage were oddly timed. As the terror in Rwanda had unfolded, Clinton had shown virtually no interest in stopping the genocide, and his Administration had stood by as the death toll rose into the hundreds of thousands.....

Samantha Power
Bystanders to Genocide
Why the United States Let the Rwandan Tragedy Happen

The author's exclusive interviews with scores of the participants in the decision-making, together with her analysis of newly declassified documents, yield a chilling narrative of self-serving caution and flaccid will and countless missed opportunities to mitigate a colossal crime

The double talk, deceptions, and deliberately misleading stage managed techniques that proped up the Clinton presidency for eight years (enthusiastically amplified without challenge by our idiot media), are the same techniques now utilized by forked tongue front groups, and fellow travellers who are hindering and hamstringing US efforts to prevent jihadist mayhem in our airplanes, office buildings, subways, trains, schools, and government offices, such as CAIR, and the entire "Bush is wiretapping" crowd. At their root these are the worst kind of techniques that trademark the worst kind of totalitarian movements. For such groups, ideology is only a front as well, behind it all is personal depravity, psychopathic pathology, widespread perversion, such as the twisted and strange hidden toxic world of the elite leadership of the infamous National Socialist Germand Workers Party. In the current Pope, one is confronted with the opposite of such derangement and calculated posturing. The pope has been an intelligent and honest spokesman advocating deeply held beliefs based upon an authentic commitment to carefully developed humanitarian values. CAIR announces him "inaccurate and devisive", Iran denouces him as "islamophobic" and the world press gleefully reports his apology and blames the violence on him. A hallmark of these people is their complete disdain for truth.

The Clintons are drawn from this barrel of rotten apples, and once selected, the more one tries to find any benefit, the more they end up covered by the rotting slimey irredeemable scum.

Awesome, as always, Mia.

What the hell is this moribund loser doing in the political arena anyway?

Hey, she’s married (in the loosest sense of the word) to an experienced traitor/felon, she’s a cattle futures and real estate investment wizard, she throws a mean ashtray, and she’s sponsored no significant legislation during her freshman term.

Not to mention John Spenser is rumored to have had an affair, fathered two children out of wedlock, abused his parents, and practiced nepotism – which the self-righteous Hillary no doubt believes affords her the moral high ground.

What more could a citizen want in a presidential candidate? (Yeah, I know. Had she been an American Idol contestant it would have made her a shoe-in, but you can’t have everything.)

I almost forgot. Being ‘the smartest woman in the world’ (the masses will lend their memories only to the thousandfold repetition of the most simple ideas … Mein Kampf) doesn’t hurt. either.

Not to mention that Rawanda is the penultimate case study demonstrating that the UN and its $3 Billion annual budget are part of the worldwide sham of dishonest, congenitally deceptive, hidden agenda ridden, leftists and fellow travelers, including the Clintons, in that nothing so centrally and in its essence called upon the core purported raison d'etre of the United Nations and nothing was more within its capability (purely humanitarian, no East vs. West geopolitical barrier to action)than dealing with the Rawandan slaughter. The failure of the UN to act in Rawanda is proof if any were needed that the real purpose of the UN is not humanitarian in nature but rather self servingly a tool and agency for corruption, perversion, leftism, and anti-US propaganda, and anti US collective action, all camoflaged with a cloak of moral superiority ("world opinion").

At times it appears that even the Bush administration and American foreign policy have been taken in by the double talk, deception and false reality of the pathologically perverse left. We seem to have lost sight of what war means. We seem to have lost sight of what victory is, and why it is the only legitimate object of war.

There may be a circumstance in which the use of national power for a purpose less than complete destruction of a military enemy is appropriate. Perhaps Rawanda was such a case, and prevention of looming humanitarian disaster may in some cases justify such a commitment.

Responding to the forces that brought about 9/11, and associated prior violent assaults on America, however, is not a time for political intervention. It is a time for destruction of the source(s) of power of the forces that launched the attacks. Bush was right when he said in 2001 that in such a case, other nations are either with us, or they are against us.

Despite the palpably insincere mantra of front groups and apologists for terrorism like CAIR (whose website today still maintains a "condemnation" of 9/11 attacks that claims the real issue is not fighting terroists, but understanding and dealing with the "causes" of terrorism, i.e. the holocaust was the jew's own fault logic). With the recent world wide reaction of "islam" to the thoughtful, well intentioned, and unquestionably accurate words of Pope Benedict, it is becoming more clear than ever that the forces sustaining terrorism have more to do with Islam itself, than with "fringe groups" or "radicals". The professioinal fifth column apologists who insist on continuing to try and stage manage reality according to perverse intellectual abstracts such as 'tolerance' 'non-discrimination" and ("balancing civil right vs. need to fight terrorism"), such as the Clintons, CAIR, the democrat leadership, the MSN, and azis of appeasement, such as that wingnut Chavez, along with 85% of the non-science/ soft science college and graduate school professors in America and a majority of Europeans, are determined to undermine America's will to protect itself. The true nature and real loyalties of these frauds, however, becomes increasingly transparent and obvious.
