I will not be here for the first hour of tonights program. Thought I would put it up for those FReepers overseas that are viewing it now.
For those who wish to see the clips the Clinton lawyers complained about, Click here
I agree. I loved the two days.. well, too many tears from me.. but they hit the right buttons & did a good job of giving a LOT of info..much of which I didn't know
Funny, I've seen that Condi actress in other things (I don't get "24" except in reruns and hadn't seen her on that) - and always thought she looked faintly like Condi.
Until ... she played Condi tonight ... and I didn't think she looked like her at all, lol.
I have no doubt the liberals will be having absolute seizures about this by tomorrow morning at the latest.
what can we say?
Clinton's legacy will be a warm fuzzy loser.
EXCELLENT!!!
And the greatest lesson I learned when I worked for government. The same is frequently true in the world of private enterprise as well.
Nina Easton is an idiot and I love it when Fred makes it glaringly apparent. LOL
Thanks. :-)
It was awesome. I mean, from a purely Jack Ryan fancier type perspective. Data is data. Anybody that is objective in their mission will take all data that they can get their hands on.
There was one notable person who often presented "cameo" opinions: this woman who often does stuff on TVO.
The premise of the show is that the root cause stems from the fall of the Ottoman Empire at the end of WWI. That was the first offense of the Muslim psyche. The next egregious offense was the establishment of a secular state in Turkey.
I'm not going to get into it on this thread, but it opened my eyes to the utter intractible nature of the problem that faces the United States of America (and by extension the World). They got into the Wahabi Islamic sect, the srife between Muslims (Sunni & Shiite), and the origin of the Ba'ath party right out of Nazi politics. They addressed Nasser and the assissination of Sadat (and its significance).
I came away from viewing that show as it being a scathing critque of foreign policy up unto 1980. It was also a scathing critique of American foreign policy since then (can anybody pronounce hegemony?).
They got into why the U.S.A. is being attacked: its much much much much easier to attack an open and liberal society such as the U.S.A. instead of brutal, vicious, repressive, oppressive and ressesive regigms (the brutality of which nobody has seen since mideaval days) that emerged since early 1950's (take your pick - the list is quite long).
One quote at the end of the show stuck with me: "People say that Islam is an angry religion. I question the veracity of that. I do believe that there are a great deal of angry Muslims."
I don't dispute that Islam is an angry religion in general. Nevertheless, if one takes that as the basis and extrapolate from there angry and radical followers (based on the expository of this specific PBS special) from there, well, then.
My opinions are not based on any sort of historical ignorance either. I was very much relieved to see the show hit the "Palistinian Question" hit hard on the head.
Your right.I was thinking of the next president's wife.
Perhaps they were afraid of being Arkancided, like so many others who dared to go against her. ;^)
How will she be able to show her face in public after this? On campus she may be ok but anywhere else she will be stared at if and when people recognize the name. Time for her to get a sabbatical in France or something.
See John Miller's "The Cell" for many more details on the Muslim man who tipped us off, and the female agent who worked with him. Her career was trashed--not much on that in the movie.
Yeah - what was I thinking? Besides, who'd want combat pay to be sent to Flyover Red Country?
Forget the "warm and fuzzy" bit; unless you're talking about Monica's blue dress.
"he is the greatest president, possibly, of all time. "
I would say President Bush has had the greatest challenge thrust on him since Abraham Lincoln. Desperate times can make great men, and I thank God we have seen this president rise to greatness.
Only Lincoln and Bush had to fight wars on our soil since Colonial Times and the Alamo. Both had a scornful, hateful, vitriolic, and treasonous press. Lincoln at least knew how to handle the press turncoats in his day - he threw them in irons.
Lincoln and Bush are true men of God. They don't villify or disparage. They see the right because they are in the right.
It hurts me to see our president work so hard to preserve our freedoms and change the Middle East with so little gratitude or appreciation of how hard his incumbency has been compared to Clintoon's cakewalk.
Yes, Bush too, even in life, already belongs to the Ages.
Heaton really played that ambassador witch Bodine perfectly. Then she went to Baghdad as some kind of deputy before she went back to State. A real Republican but miscast in her career choices imo. She is one of those women who do not know how to handle power.
