U.S. Senator Hillary Clinton (D NY) has attacked U.S. President George W. Bush, and questioned U.S. intelligence effectiveness in an interview published in the online version of the German newsmagazine Der Spiegel.
Der Spiegel is Germany's leading newsmagazine, and is highly regarded throughout Europe. Clinton's remarks will gain a high degree of publicity across the European continent, attracting support within Europe's generally liberal political environment, where socialism enjoys wide acceptance.
While asserting her support for Bush in Afghanistan and Iraq, Sen. Clinton criticized present U.S. policy in Europe, and questioned the Bush administration's use of intelligence information.
Clinton stated that she was "not ready to answer 'yes'" to Der Spiegel's question whether misleading information was used to launch the war in Iraq.
"I know my husband received the same intelligence information [during his presidency as did Bush]." Clinton asserted that "the real question is have we obtained accurate information, or have the findings been altered for military or political purposes?"
Clinton also urged greater interdependence between Europe and the U.S., stating that America should seek "a secure and solid foundation" for relations with Europe, instead of "relying only upon our [U.S.] military strength."
Praising her husband's close relationship with European leaders during his period in office, Clinton declared that "for eight years we were on the right course to a globalized and integrated world - which is coming, one way or the other."
Clinton publicly revealed the foreign policy thrust of the Democratic Party in a remarkable moment of candor, a position Democratic leaders have not made clear to the public, but which is keenly understood and supported by Clinton.
Not only is a "globalized and integrated world" inevitable, it is a foreign policy priority of the Democratic Party.
According to Clinton, a single, unified world "is a perspective we Democrats have not successfully made clear."
In the Der Spiegel interview, Clinton asserted that her husband sought to pass "effective laws" and proposed "more money" to carry out the struggle against terror, but "the Republicans prevented" measures from becoming enacted.
Hillary Clinton, already considered an intriguing figure in Europe, will gain additional credibility as a stateswoman as a result of the Der Spiegel interview.
As Europeans become more familiar with Clinton and her views, their impact will be felt as they bring money and influence to her or a like politician's campaign.
The socialist European expectation will be that a Democratic victory will bring into power a U.S. government more to the liking of one-world European politicians.

Her husband has been saying the same stuff of late. The concept of an interdepdent world by treaty and practise (loss of domestic industry) is the goal of the Rhodes Scholars. Wesley Clark, a Rhodes Scholar, will be running in the primary season but will enter only after Hil and Bill have paved the way by legitimizing the idea of the destruction of the sovereignty of the USA.

At any point could the clintons get tried for treason?
How far can you go to flame the fires of domestic terrorist and it be 'ok'?
How can you teach respect for others when people are in leader positions and they don't show respect for the authority?

It is getting to the point, where these cartoons don't even make me smirk. This has gone from amusing to beyond sick.

Meek, I look back at the end of the twentieth century
( "The Golden Age of Clinton" )
and the current hoo-rah over Hillarrhea!'s disingenuous little screed, and despite having a soldier for a mother and a sailor for a dad, I can't summon up words vile enough to express myself. My storehouse of cuss-words is inadequate to the challenge.
I may steal your grapic, however- one thing I learned is that these characters on the Left can't abide being laughed at, ridiculed, or not taken seriously. After all, running everyone else's life is a grim business...

Didn't "Der Spiegel" publish those faked "Hitler Diaries"?
Didn't Bill Clinton close down US Navy fighters at that NJ Navy base?
"US Air Force fighters from the Boston area arrived too late to shoot down the 2nd jetliner that hit the WTC.....and the one that hit the Pentagon"

Good point!
The Clintons can't be respectful to anybody because they don't even respect themselves.
The Democraps are cowards, they always attack the President while on foreign soil.
"According to Clinton, a single, unified world "is a perspective we Democrats have not successfully made clear." "
But they have no guts to make it clear because they know how the rest of us will react with our votes.
