Hillary: "New Political Icon"
Clinton's European Triumph

An admiring overseas media is greeting with skepticism Hillary Clinton's declaration that she will not be a presidential candidate, as the Democratic New York Senator concluded her ten-day day tour of Europe promoting her book, "Living History."
While in Europe, Clinton attacked U.S. President George Bush, his policies, and called into question the validity of his election.
Clinton flatly denied that her book is a "path to the presidency of the United States," asserting, "that is not the reason I wrote the book," according to a report in the German news daily, Der Spiegel.
"That is not necessarily the last
word," added Der Spiegel, expressing a widely held belief that Clinton will make a bid for the U.S. presidency.
In Germany, Clinton's book is second in popularity only to "Stupid White Men," Michael Moore's assault on Bush and conservatives.
Hillary will be the "new political icon," according to Der Spiegel, which gave Clinton a glowing review of her interview on the German television talk show, "Sabine Christiansen."
Clinton's statements were "cautious" and "circumspect" during the talk show, which included appearances by several important German political and business leaders, Der Spiegel said.
Earlier, Clinton was the featured guest on the British Broadcasting Corporation's television program, "Breakfast with David Frost."
In response to Frost's respectful questions, Clinton stated that she stands for the "same policies" as her husband, former U.S. President Bill Clinton.
Senator Clinton characterized her husband's proposal for socialized medicine, a generally rejected attempt at social engineering, as "too much, too fast."
She described her husband's period in office as "extraordinarily positive," reflecting that Bill Clinton wore the duties of the presidency "lightly and with humility."
While expressing unlimited support for her husband's policies, Clinton clearly was less than certain about the future of their marriage.
Although Clinton disclosed that she hoped her union with Bill was "forever," she added thoughtfully, "one never knows."
When Frost asked her about the 2000 presidential election, Clinton sidestepped accusations of Bush illegally assuming office, but she added that Bush did "prevent" Democrat Al Gore from "being inaugurated."
During the Frost interview, Clinton criticized what she referred to as Bush's "unipolar" view of international relations, using a term often employed by Moscow, Beijing and Havana in their condemnations of U.S. foreign policy.
Clinton stated that she gives her support to a "multipolar" foreign policy, a term Russia, Communist China, and Cuba have used for at least six years to describe their vision of a "new world order," with the United States subsumed to the United Nations.

"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?" ...America should seek "a secure and solid foundation" for relations with Europe, instead of "relying only upon our [U.S.] military strength." .. "for eight years we were on the right course to a globalized and integrated world - which is coming, one way or the other." ...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, June 17, 2003*how would SHE know either her hubby or Bush's classified intel?
Benedict Rodham Clinton, former un-elected co-
lying traitorPresident of the U.S. (with access to FBI files and an international Rolodex), current U.S. Senator (who swore an oath to uphold and defend the US Constitution), current member of the Armed Services Committee (with access to (some) classified national security secrets), is undermining the authority of our CIC overseas, pledging the loyalty of her party to a NON-American, international, socialist authority even as our CIC and military leaders courageously wage a difficult war, to shore up international $$$ and troop replacements - and even as our best and brightest voluntarily risk their lives to defend
America. America's press didn't find Hillary's comments scandalous?
Hillary was in Old Europe working to undo the American Revolution during America's Independence Day holiday. Was this written up as a scandal in even one AMERICAN 'hometown' newspaper? The American press and American Senator Hillary Clinton to our troops in Iraq: "Put some ice on it!"

Sorry about posting a Hillary article without the antedote - the anti-Hillary, Conde Rice:
*** Some argue that Europe and America are more divided by differing worldviews than we are united by common values. More troubling, some have spoken admiringly -- almost nostalgically -- of "multipolarity," as if it were a good thing, to be desired for its own sake.
The reality is that "multi-polarity" was never a unifying idea, or a vision. It was a necessary evil that sustained the absence of war but it did not promote the triumph of peace. Mulit-polarity is a theory of rivalry; of competing interests -- and at its worst -- competing values.
We have tried this before. It led to the Great War -- which cascaded into the Good War, which gave way to the Cold War. Today this theory of rivalry threatens to divert us from meeting the great tasks before us.
Why would anyone who shares the values of freedom seek to put a check on those values? Democratic institutions themselves are a check on the excesses of power. Why should we seek to divide our capacities for good, when they can be so much more effective united? Only the enemies of freedom would cheer this division.
Power in the service of freedom is to be welcomed, and powers that share a commitment to freedom can -- and must -- make common cause against freedom's enemies. This is not a description of a unipolar world. As the President's National Security Strategy states, "there is little lasting consequence that the United States can accomplish in the world without the sustained cooperation of allies and friends."
Today, it is the combined strength of Europe, the United States and other freedom-loving democracies that stands against the tyrants and the angry few seeking to impose their will on the many.
For more than half a century Europe worked hard to make intra-European conflict no more than a memory . . . and to channel Europe's vast resources and energies towards productive, life-affirming ends. The vision was to rid Europe of "poles" and to unite Europeans around shared goals and common values.
***
"To win the War on Terror, we must win also win a war of ideas by appealing to the decent hopes of people throughout the world . . . giving them cause to hope for a better life and brighter future . . . and reason to reject the false and destructive comforts of bitterness, grievance, and hate. Terror grows in the absence of progress and development. It thrives in the airless space where new ideas, new hopes and new aspirations are forbidden. Terror lives when freedom dies."
hflynn - lol!

Actually, I think there is a chance that they might divorce. For one thing, they will have the media protecting them, and it will only generate sympathy for Hillary. I used to be believe that they had too much dirt on each other but, what do they have to fear now? Nobody has the guts to ask them tough questions. I won't go so far as to predict that they will divorce, but it won't surprise me, especially the closer Hillary gets to a run for the White House.

Clinton stated that she stands for the "same policies" as her husband, former U.S. President Bill Clinton. Would that include fellatio in the Oval Office? And would she be the guilty one "having sex" or the innocent one "receiving sex"?
And, the moment she announces her candidacy, we need to get one thing straight: What is the meaning of "is", precisely?

The meaning of
'is' is
'is' - except to cheaters and liars. Remember how OUR press treated OUR CIC for thanking OUR awesome, victorious troops aboard the Lincoln? It's tar and feathers time.
Wankers.

The founding fathers thought of everything.
The Logan Act: If not now, when?
Abstract: The Logan Act was intended to prohibit United States citizens without authority from interfering in relations between the United States and foreign governments. There appear to have been no prosecutions under the Act in its almost 200 year history. However, there have been a number of judicial references to the Act, and it is not uncommon for it to be used as a political weapon. Although attempts have been made to repeal the Act, it remains law and at least a potential sanction to be used against anyone who without authority interferes in the foreign relations of the United States.
Book 'em, Dan-o.

Book 'em, Dan-o. For 1st degree boorishness, felonious self-importance and aggravated corruption.
Regardless of the meaning of "is"...

It took several years for the Clintons to drag us down with them and finally touch bottom -- somewhere about halfway through Impeachment, I guess. But it looks like Europe was ALWAYS ready to be Clintonized, and never more so than now, now that they've got another chance through the vehicle of Hillary. The Clintons are the perfect European candidates.

Well, yes, it could be a tax dodge. Ireland will give dual citizenship to Americans of Irish ancestry (never mind that we don't know who billy's father really is - the Irish like him).
But even more important, an American can't be Sect'y Gen'l of the UN, but an Irish citizen could be.

Hill isn't even qualified to carry Condi's briefcase.So true. Didn't Hillary have her SS detail carry a port-o-potty for her on the taxpayer-funded trip to the Great Wall in China? Payback's a b*tch.
