[Howlin]

but when I read this clap trap this morning, I could not speak

I felt the exact same way. I just sat here looking at the first paragraph with my mouth on my keyboard!

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Rush is right, our enemies were given more than aid and comfort by this speech...they were given ammunition to attack us long into the future. Every enemy nation will print this in the papers and a Google search in one week will prove the power of our enemies within.

Think the press will treat Clinton, for this much more damaging speech, with the same derision and blanket coverage they gave Jerry Falwell?

The answer, Mr. Clinton said, is to spread freedom and democracy, reduce global poverty, forgive billions in debt, improve health care systems and encourage — even fund — education in developing countries.
"We ought to pay for these children to go to school — a lot cheaper than going to war," he said.

"We've got to defeat people who think they can find their redemption in our destruction. And then we have to be smart enough to get rid of our arrogant self-righteousness so that we don't claim for ourselves things we deny for others."

The more I read this crap, the more Clinton sounds like... Ralph Nader. All that's missing is the schtick about those evil plundering megacorporations and a maximum wage.
