your recollections are 100% correct; and your gullability is very impressive also.

Red, with all due respect, I've got a couple of questions for you.

When did you first hear of the so-called Mena scandal?

How much time did you spend in Mena and Springdale, Arkansas, talking to who were in a position to know the truth? What were their roles in the alleged events?

How many real Clinton scandals have you personally uncovered and publicized? If there were several, it will be sufficient to name the biggest two or three scandals you're responsible for exposing.

After you reply, we can compare our credentials and level of access in investigating the Mena allegations, and decide who is gullible and who isn't. Thanks in advance.

well, Hal9000, I haven't personally investigated any scandals. I'm just an armchair general whose read a bit. Including Ambrose Evans Pritchard's book, a lot of Chris Ruddy, many articles on the net and in magazines, maybe more I can't remember. My hat is off to those who really have investigated.

I only called you gullable because you don't believe that CIA actually was involved in large-scale coke importation. Based on info that I've read it seems they have, but of course, that information I read could be not 100% accurate.

Maybe I should tone down my sometimes obnoxious rhetoric, but I have such fun doing it!! In the future I'll remember not to be obnoxious to you specifically. But with others I just can't resist.

I don't think for a second that GW Bush wants cocaine and other illegal drugs inside the US. Clinton was a slimeball who really did want this. I believe that GHW Bush and others at CIA in the 80's organized efforts that included the large-scale importation of cocaine into Mena. They knew it was happening. They pumped up the market for it by showing gangs in LA how to make crack. They knew the Mena operation was doing this for years. They tolerated it. And in my opinion they tolerated it for what they believed was very legitimate reasons rather than corruption. There may be very good arguments to support those legitimate reasons. I could make those arguments, but I won't bore you.

So, I just think the CIA has gone way too far. It isn't just the Mena cocaine stuff. It's a lot of things. So I rail against them always.
