Senator Hillary Clinton yesterday accused President George W. Bush of mishandling the threat from Iran while she's been accepting money from supporters of the renegade Iranian regime.
Wealthy businessmen Hassan Nemazee and Faraj Aalaei who are associated with the American Iranian Council, a pro-regime, anti-sanctions group, are vocal Clinton supporters and contributors. According to the Center for Responsive Politics, Namazee has contributed $4,000 to Clinton's reelection while Aalaei contributed $1,000.
Insight Magazine, published by the Washington Times, describes their lobby this way: "the American-Iranian Council [AIC], a pro-regime lobbying group [are] trying to get Congress and the Bush administration to lift the trade embargo on Iran."
According to reports in Hillary Clinton's home state, she's also raising money from Gati Kashani, another figure linked with the Iranian Mullahs and who also supports the regime.
On its website, the Iranian American Political Action Committee (PAC) noted, "On Friday, June 3rd [2005], Iranian-American friends of the Hillary Clinton Senate re-election campaign hosted a fundraising event in honor of Senator Clinton. The event took place at the home of Gita and Behzad Kashani in Los Altos Hills, California."
The PAC favors relaxing or eliminating Visa rule for Iranians coming to the United States and believes that Clinton would be helpful in achieving their goals. The Federal Bureau of Investigation opposes such liberalization of the visa process for the terrorist state.
But in full pander mode, the Iranian PAC reported that Clinton attacked United States Visa policy. "Senator Clinton went on to address the audience on topics specifically relevant to the Iranian-American community. She discussed immigration and acknowledged the difficulties Iranian nationals have in obtaining visas to visit family members residing in America. She stated, 'Our visa policy is not only unfair but it's not good for America.'"
During her speech yesterday Senator Clinton attacked the Bush Administration, charging that the US government has wasted precious time in dealing with the looming Iranian nuclear threat.
"I believe that we lost critical time in dealing with Iran because the White House chose to downplay the threats and to outsource the negotiations," Clinton said during a speech at Princeton University, referring to American willingness to allow European powers to handle talks with Teheran.
"We cannot and should not -- must not -- permit Iran to build or acquire nuclear weapons," Clinton added. "In order to prevent that from occurring, we must have more support vigorously and publicly expressed by China and Russia, and we must move as quickly as feasible for sanctions in the United Nations."
This is the exact opposite of what she's said regarding the run up to the Iraq war. Democrat Party bigwigs accused Bush then of not working with our allies -- France, Germany, Russia -- and not allowing the United Nations more time to deal with the Saddam Hussein regime.
According to critics, Senator Clinton's modus operandi is to tell audiences what she believes they wish to hear. Tell Americans to get tough on Iran so as to present herself as tough on national security, then tell Iranians she wants to help them.
At least she did use the "plantation" word which I believe was calculated to bring about controversy as was her latest diatribes against Bush. The release of the Barrett Report brings up questions of her and her husband's own -- excuse the phrase -- culture of corruption.
She's done this before when she criticized the Bush Administration's lack of resolve to stop rampant illegal immigration and to increase border security. However, when a bill went to the senate that would increase funding for border patrol agents and additional detention facilities, she and the senior Senator from New York, Chuck Schumer, voted no.
Then when speaking before a Latino group in California, Hillary told the audience that she would work to get them healthcare and education assistance.
John Spencer, the former Yonkers Mayor and Vietnam combat veteran who will challenge Senator Clinton in November, made the following statement, "Senator Clinton voted against the very munitions necessary to avoid a nuclear confrontation with Iran while at the same time accepting money from supporters of the Iranian Mullahs. Senator Clinton lacks the credibility to keep New York safe and she should return this tainted money."

Hillary is not only America's worst nightmare, she's America's worst enemy.
Thanks Arkansans and thanks New Yarkansans for enabling this piece of communist trash to continue prancing about the boards of American politics.
what's wrong with taking money from your political supporters?
DEATH to the LEFT
This is 2005..

This is 2004:
There have to be checks and balances in the process. But I see no realistic short term alternative, other than to work collaboratively with our allies, to try to persuade the Iranians to change course.

Thanks for posting, commenting. BTTT!
Funny that Hillary gets donations from an Iranian group asking to change visa rules and Hillary goes out and makes a speech about such legislation.
Sounds similar to what the Abramhoff critics allege.
No, that's Monica Lewinsky you're thinking of.
Has she no shame?
Sorry but you are wrong. Monica drinks from the fountain. The article is correct. Hillarys slurps at the trough. LOL
None.
EEEEEEWWWWWW, my eyes, my eyes, I can't see.
We're at war with these terroristic Teheran jokers since 1979 when the traitor, Cartah, so arranged it - and America's best example of all that's wrong with both our law "schools" and our state and feral gummints is brazenly, openly and arrogantly slurping at the Teheran terrorist's trough?
If we cannot and/or will not get this bloody pig and the predatory pack she fronts on good old-fashioned charges of lying, looting, thieving, mass-murdering and co-serial raping - whatever happened to ridding our nation of such as she with such healthy, viable, alternative charges as sedition, subversion and treason?
Have we forgotten that during his war against the states Lincoln locked away 38,000 Americans, most on much less evidence of their danger to these United States of America than that quite clearly represented by the evil manifest in Mrs Billy-Bubba Blythe Cli'ton?
And that during WW-II Roosevelt's administration removed and incarcerated every visible and/or suspected threat from our midst? And tried and incarcerated and/or executed every seditionist, every subversive and every traitor?
Are we now so blind we cannot see the enemy in our midst?
Is the Bush administration's abrogation of its primary responsibility to guard our nation's sovereign borders -- and its inexplicable rehabilitation of this loathesome and fearsome witch, her warlock and their corrupt coven but the indicator of its all-around ineptitude?
Judeo-Christian/Western/Human Civilization's enemy number one's front-and-brown-paper-bag-person's BUMPping.
I like the way you think and express yourself.
Right-o.
Empress Hitlery prefers clam bakes.

The beast is a loathsome creature. John Spencer is the warrior we've been waiting for to come out and fight her. Support John Spencer: http://www.joinspencer.com/site/c.euLPK3MNItG/b.982203/k.9E29/John_Spencer.htm

Since when did Illinois start commenting on Hildebeast?
Maybe if we are lucky, Hitlery will be sitting in a jail cell along side of Booba instead of on a stage somewhere accepting the Democratic nomination.
She sure deserves it, the jail cell that is.
Perhaps they'll take a moonlight stroll through Marcy Park.
Perhaps Craig Livingstone will be on hand to help them.
