Heard a rumor they're going to call it a docudrama or change the type of series.

That's a good point. This is going to come back to hurt Hillary in the long run, hopefully.

Mentioning the $40 million figure sounds like an implicit threat to investigate it as an "in-kind contribution" under McCain-Feingold.

Here's an even "better" one:

The Iraq Liberation Act
October 31, 1998

STATEMENT BY THE PRESIDENT

THE WHITE HOUSE

Office of the Press Secretary

For Immediate Release

October 31, 1998

STATEMENT BY THE PRESIDENT

Today I am signing into law H.R. 4655, the "Iraq Liberation Act of 1998." This Act makes clear that it is the sense of the Congress that the United States should support those elements of the Iraqi opposition that advocate a very different future for Iraq than the bitter reality of internal repression and external aggression that the current regime in Baghdad now offers.

Let me be clear on what the U.S. objectives are: The United States wants Iraq to rejoin the family of nations as a freedom-loving and law-abiding member. This is in our interest and that of our allies within the region.

The United States favors an Iraq that offers its people freedom at home. I categorically reject arguments that this is unattainable due to Iraq's history or its ethnic or sectarian make-up. Iraqis deserve and desire freedom like everyone else. The United States looks forward to a democratically supported regime that would permit us to enter into a dialogue leading to the reintegration of Iraq into normal international life.

My Administration has pursued, and will continue to pursue, these objectives through active application of all relevant United Nations Security Council resolutions. The evidence is overwhelming that such changes will not happen under the current Iraq leadership.

In the meantime, while the United States continues to look to the Security Council's efforts to keep the current regime's behavior in check, we look forward to new leadership in Iraq that has the support of the Iraqi people. The United States is providing support to opposition groups from all sectors of the Iraqi community that could lead to a popularly supported government.

On October 21, 1998, I signed into law the Omnibus Consolidated and Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act, 1999, which made $8 million available for assistance to the Iraqi democratic opposition. This assistance is intended to help the democratic opposition unify, work together more effectively, and articulate the aspirations of the Iraqi people for a pluralistic, participa--tory political system that will include all of Iraq's diverse ethnic and religious groups. As required by the Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act for FY 1998 (Public Law 105-174), the Department of State submitted a report to the Congress on plans to establish a program to support the democratic opposition. My Administration, as required by that statute, has also begun to implement a program to compile information regarding allegations of genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes by Iraq's current leaders as a step towards bringing to justice those directly responsible for such acts.

The Iraq Liberation Act of 1998 provides additional, discretionary authorities under which my Administration can act to further the objectives I outlined above. There are, of course, other important elements of U.S. policy. These include the maintenance of U.N. Security Council support efforts to eliminate Iraq's weapons and missile programs and economic sanctions that continue to deny the regime the means to reconstitute those threats to international peace and security. United States support for the Iraqi opposition will be carried out consistent with those policy objectives as well. Similarly, U.S. support must be attuned to what the opposition can effectively make use of as it develops over time. With those observations, I sign H.R. 4655 into law.

WILLIAM J. CLINTON

THE WHITE HOUSE,

October 31, 1998.

Worth an eighth post -

"To all you anti-Bush freepers that want to PUNISH THE GOP by staying home in November, THIS IS JUST A TASTE of the power abuses that will occur if the donks win power. Has 5 years erased your memory of the Clintons and what power abuses they wielded? Wake Up!"

Frankly, I don't care what they call it. Most people see a movie and they believe everything they see.

A few libs at IMDB have seen it and they're LIVID. So I take it as a good sign. But, again, I wouldn't be surprised if it gets changed before Monday.

It will be radically changed or canned. ABC cannot hold out against this onslaught. ABC's "editing" was blood in the water. The RATs now know they will win. Unless there is an original screening DVD which somneone is willing to rip to DiVX and upload to BitTorrent, the public will never see this series as produced.

Bush has the pulpit! He could make a public statement about how wrong this is.

It won't happen and I could not tell you why.

This is amazing. The Rats know that a film like this will undo the spin that has taken them years to coordinate.

I borrowed F911 from a liberal friend and watched it until I was too disgusted to see anymore. I remember being at a party shortly after the movie came out and a couple came in that had just seen the film(liberals). They were so excited and believed every word of it!

The Dem's (and this letter) just handed ABC/Disney a record view rating for this program. They don't need
to change a thing.

They added the -IC to their name years ago, and the media monitors accepted it. The media that Rush calls the DBM are the Dem 527-media.

The cover up will hurt them more

And this threatening letter from Reid will sink them
