"No one with any sense will take
Gore's word for it." LOL Can't wait
for the senseless to weigh in! BTW,
Pat Buchanan has already done it.

[marvlus]

Al Gore always looks particularly foolish, and even worse, he acts foolish. He is a foolish, idiotic man!! I hope he runs for president in 2004. I want to see him beat by a landslide!!

[PogySailor]

Bump to check back in the morning.

[BulletBrasDotNet]

God Bless you man. The invite is still on for a trip in New York, seeing the Autumn leaves, Lake Placid and Niagra Falls. We're up here on 5 acres of placid quietude. Cheers, and Warmest Regards, Mark and Karen Davis (yes... - Welsh spelling)

So the report that Blair was waiting until after the German election to release his dossier turns out to be correct.

[marvlus]

Why would Blaire wait on the outcome of the German election? Is there incriminating evidence in the dossier that points to the German government?

[Illbay]

Let's see: What was the vote in the League of Nations for going to war with Germany?

[VRWC_minion]

In October, 1933, Adolf Hitler withdrew Germany from the League of Nations and claimed he had done so because of the failure to reach agreement about disarmament. Hitler argued that under the terms of the Treaty of Versailles Germany was militarily weak. He said that Germany had been willing to keep to this state of affairs if other countries disarmed. As this had not happened, Germany now had to take measures to protect herself.

In the months that followed, Hitler trebled the size of the German Army and completely ignored the restrictions on weapons that had been imposed by the Treaty of Versailles. By 1935, when it was clear that no action was going to be taken against Germany for breaking the terms of the treaty, Hitler felt strong enough to introduce military conscription.

Adolf Hitler knew that both France and Britain were militarily stronger than Germany,. However, he became convinced that they were unwilling to go to war. He therefore decided to break another aspect of the Treaty of Versailles by sending German troops into the Rhineland.

The German generals were very much against the plan, claiming that the French Army would win a victory in the military conflict that was bound to follow this action. Hitler ignored their advice and on 1st March, 1936, three German battalions marched into the Rhineland.

The French government was horrified to find German troops on their border but were unwilling to take action without the support of the British. The British government argued against going to war over the issue and justified its position by claiming that "Germany was only marching into its own back yard."

thanks for the report, MI.

0700 GMT = 0200 Eastern in the States ?
(not that i'll wait up for it - lol)

btw, rumour has it you're coming to Moran's in december ?

"...Al Gore looks particularly foolish, and the dossier tomorrow is going to confirm his idiocy. "

That Gore comes out with this on the eve of the dossier release is astonishingly stupid. But what do you expect from a guy who flunked out of grad school twice?

[BigWaveBetty]

Thank you MadIvan.

We're gearing up for war, Al Gore looks particularly foolish, and the dossier tomorrow is going to confirm his idiocy.

My thoughts exactly today as I saw his performance in SF. Not only did he confirm his idiocy today, he insured his defeat if he tries to run for president.

Buh-bye al, you're toast yet again!

[Man of the Right]

I never thought I would have a good word to say about any Labor politician until I saw Tony Blair. He proves British courage is in British genes. They have an extra don't-tread-on-me chromosome.

[cookcounty]

0700 GMT is what, midnite Eastern, 2300 Central? Makes Gore look even dumber. He made his speech nine hours before Blair's Dossier Release.

[Huck]

Can't wait for the senseless to weigh in! BTW, Pat Buchanan has already done it.

I saw that. It was pathetic.

< snicker >

And I'm always so amused when someone tries to malign George Bush's intelligence.

[Scott from the Left Coast]

Al Gore and Pat Buchanan:

Finding an IQ point between them is like finding the proverbial needle in a haystack.

[Scott from the Left Coast]

They've seen the dossier and yet still some Labour members are opposed...amazing...your left is as incorrigible as ours is over here.

If ever both of our nations are ruled by these leftists at a time of crisis such as this, the whole western world will fall, for certainly we will not be saved by backbone in Berlin or Paris.

[sam_paine]

Al Gore looks particularly foolish, and the dossier tomorrow is going to confirm his idiocy.

Isn't that the MO lately, the Dems "keep opening new doors and hitting themselves in the nose the next day" as Limbaugh has been saying.

[Jorge]

Tony Blair quelled a cabinet revolt over Iraq yesterday by promising his ministers he would pursue fully a United Nations solution to the crisis before resorting to military action.

And Blair didn't rule out using military action if the UN fails to resolve the problem.

My father who was stationed in England during WWII, basically said the same thing. While London was being bombed the people would sleep in the subways and then get up and go to work during the day.
He told me how the Brits impressed him.."they were real fighters".
I think some of that spirit has rubbed off on America.
