"We need to be creating a world that we would like to live in when we're not the biggest power on the block."--bill clinton
|
The Republicans' latest talking point is that the breach of national security enabled by clinton must be simple incompetence, that the concept that anyone in government would commit treason is too outrageous even to contemplate.
Outrageousness is an essential element of clinton corruption. The clinton crimes -- rape, murder -- and now treason -- are so outrageous that they allow clinton hacks to reasonably brand all clinton accusers clinton-hating neo-Nazi crazies (notwithstanding the plain fact that some of us are Northeast Jews of leftist origin)..
Yet privately few clintonites would deny that Bill Clinton facilitated China espionage. Their only question: "Why?"
Some call clinton a quisling, a Manchurian Candidate, bought off in Little Rock by Riady and company decades ago (and much too cheaply, according to his Chinese benefactors), trading our national security for his political power. This argument is persuasive but incomplete; clinton, a certifiable megalomaniac, is driven ultimately by his solipsistic, messianic world view and by that which ultimately quashes all else -- his toxic legacy.
William J. Broad suggests (Spying Isn't the Only Way to Learn About Nukes, The New York Times, May 30, 1999) that clinton had another reason to empower China and disembowel America. Broad argues that clinton sought to disseminate our atomic secrets proactively in order to implement his postmodern, quite inane epistemological theory, namely, that, contrary to currently held dogma, knowledge is not power after all -- that, indeed, quite the contrary is the case.
Broad writes in part:
Broad would have us believe we are watching "Being There" and not "The Manchurian Candidate." His argument is superficially appealing as most reasonable people would conclude that it requires the simplemindedness of a Chauncy Gardener (in "Being There") to reason that instructing China and a motley assortment of terrorist nations on how to beef up their atom bombs and how not to omit the "key steps" when building hydrogen bombs would somehow blunt and not stimulate their appetites for bigger and better bombs and a higher position in the power food chain.
But it is Broad's failure to fully connect the dots -- clinton's wholesale release of atomic secrets, decades of Chinese money sluicing into clinton's campaigns, clinton pushing the test ban treaty, clinton's concomitant sale of supercomputers, and clinton's noxious legacy -- that blows his argument to smithereens and reduces his piece to just another clinton apologia by The New York Times.
But even a Times apologia cannot save clinton from the gallows. Clinton can be both an absolute (albeit postmodern) moron and a traitor. The strict liability Gump-ism, "Treason is as treason does" applies.
The idea that an individual can be convicted of the crime of treason only if there is treasonous intent or *mens rea* runs contrary to the concept of strict liability crimes. That doctrine (Park v United States, (1974) 421 US 658,668) established the principle of 'strict liability' or 'liability without fault' in certain criminal cases, usually involving crimes which endanger the public welfare.
Calling his position on the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty "an historic milestone," (if he must say so himself) clinton believed that if he could get China to sign it, he would go down in history as the savior of mankind. This was 11 August 1995.
According to James Risen and Jeff Gerth of The New York Times, "the legacy codes and the warhead data that goes with them" -- apparently stolen from the Los Alamos weapons lab by scientist, Wen Ho Lee aided and abetted by bill clinton, hillary clinton, the late Ron Brown, Sandy Berger, Hazel O'Leary, Janet Reno, Eric Holder and others in the clinton administration [not to mention congressional clinton accomplices Glenn, Daschle, Bumpers, Harkin, Boxer, Feinstein, Lantos, Levin. Lautenberg, Torricelli et al.] -- "could [especially when combined with the supercomputers that clinton sold to China to help them finish the job] be particularly valuable for a country, like China, that has signed onto the nuclear test ban treaty and relies solely on computer simulations to upgrade and maintain its nuclear arsenal. The legacy codes are now used to maintain the American nuclear arsenal through computer simulation.
Most of Lee's transfers occurred in 1994 and 1995, just before China signed the test ban treaty in 1996, according to American officials."
Few who have observed clinton would argue against the proposition that this legacy-obsessed megalomaniac would trade our legacy codes for his rehabilitated legacy in a Monica minute and to hell with "the children."

While I agree that DE-LEGITIMIZING the EX-Traitor-in-Chief is always a positive thing, it ain't enuff...he must be DESTROYED!! We can NEVER FORGET that Bill Clinton is a Megalomaniacal Sociopath who CRAVES POWER and ain't afraid to break laws and kill innocents to git and retain said Power!! This whole thing with him and Chirac and Hussein is yet more proof that Clinton LOATHES America!!
All Americans must learn to LOATHE the KorruptKlintonKlan in return...MUD
BTW...we're gittin' there!!

Last week the wife's car needed a new radiator- a nuisance, since it blew 25 miles away- but this week I had to move my Mom from assisted living to a nursing home, and she's not a happy camper.
Just sitting here trying to figure out what to do next after delivering my wife to work.
( she still can't drive the 25 miles to her job- aftereffects of the plate put in her neck )
Basically, I have to get more of Mom's personal stuff- like clothes, toiletries, and her walker- to her, and work out what to do with her furniture at the assisted living place because "we charge you until you clear out her room"- over a $100 a day, and she's been gone from there since Wenesday.
Heck, I feel so good this morning--preJava, even--that I might just do some squawkin' and some gawkin' ta boot...LOL!!

Put in a few for me, neighbor!
"While most are aware by now that President Bush, British Prime Minister Tony Blair and Spanish Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar will confer Sunday in the Azores, it seems just as many do not realize the weight of this meeting. This truly is a war council. A little birdy informed me days ago of this gathering, long before it was mentioned publicly. I was told that there would be a summit of the Big 3 at a neutral site, meaning not in the US, GB, or Spain, but likely on an island in the Atlantic belonging to a friendly ally. While this meeting is described as being hastily arranged, it has actually been in the planning for some time. Once it became clear that the US and the willing coalition would be the liberating force it was decided that the Big 3 should meet in person for several reasons.
While, the situation is still fluid here is some background and likely summit scenario. Its being reported that topping the agenda will be strategies for salvaging the trio's troubled war resolution at the United Nations. Actually, the UN aspect is for all intents and purposes DEAD. As most are aware, it was Blair, and to a lesser extent, Aznar, that wanted another UN resolution so desperately. Bush agreed in order to assist his friends, both foreign (UK, Spain) and domestic (doves like Powell). To show just how far he was willing to go for them, Bush made his press conference statement that there would be a UN vote, period. The problem was that Blair had underestimated the French resolve to undermine the coalition of the willing. It finally became apparent to him that Chirac would oppose ANY reasonable resolution. This has angered Blair to no end, and he believes that Chirac is trying to end his political career in order to become the the voice of the EU and elevate Frances stature. Chirac believes he has Blair trapped, thinking Tony cant or wont go to war without another UN resolution. On the other hand, Chirac simply will not agree to any reasonable resolution, while trying to appear that they are open to new proposals. They are not, so he believes he has Blair in a box.
The one thing worse for Blair than going to war without another UN resolution would be going to war after a UN resolution failed to pass, thus the same man who urged Bush to back another resolution is now urging him to abandon his call for a vote. Blair, however, feels he still needs to bring some international legitimacy to going to war. A comment made by Bushs press secretary a few days ago was passed over by the press, but the words were loaded. Ari said an international coalition WILL disarm Iraq. It may not be the UN, but there will be an international coalition that acts. What was missed there by the press is that those are more than mere words. Expect those words to become official policy at the Sunday meeting. Again, barring some dramatic developments, this coalition will be made official. It will likely be given a name and have the signatures of the Big 3 and may be co-signed by several other countries either at the same time, or in the next few days/weeks. This is all to give this alliance as much legitimacy as possible, mostly for Blairs sake. Now, at the same time this new organization is being given legitimacy, it is equally as important for them to discredit the UN. The latter will be given as the reason why another resolution will not be ultimately pursued in the UN. This is an end-around Chirac and his little game, and will be a mighty blow to the UN, at least to the Security Council.
GIT THE US OUTTA THE UN...GIT THE UN OUTTA THE US!!!!
FReegards...MUD
Sounds to me like you git it perfectly...LOL!!
"Oh sure, there will be a gaggle of lefties squacking their heads off; but they will be rendered insignificant, in both countries. Why don't Bush and Blair understand that?"
I think Bush understands it and Blair is coming to understand it, but the War On Terrorism is only partly about Iraq...the United Nations has become a DespotRespite, where the Proponents of Terror get to Chair Human Rights Commissions and the FReePeoples of the World are out-numbered by the TerroristTyrants!! It's easy to whip up an anti-American furor in these Nations where the State controls all sources of information, but the dislike for America is ethereal, IMHO, and we are simply hangin' the UN out to dry!!
"Why the endless pas de deux with the nattering nabobs over at the UN? Once our troops change the facts on the ground the influence of the UN itself will be reduced to insignificance. Why don't we, fer chrise sake, roll?!"
I've been expecting it for weeks, so my saying that I doubt Hussein will be alive this time next week needs to be taken with a grain of salt...however,
I, MudboySlim, Doubt Hussein Will Be Alive This Time Next Week!!

BTW, rp, you know I don't know you from adam, but I KNOW you listen to Limbaugh just based on yer last statement...LOL!!
That first caller yesterday was loaded fer bear, wasn't he?!

So in other words, the means to create and/or enhance nuclear weapons was given to other countries so that they could then be trusted to show restraint and not actually use this technology?
I myself have to believe that there was never any intent of reaching a verifiable & actual arms control agreement.
I wonder, if The Groper weren't to become involved in politics if he might have ended up in a Las Vegas showroom, entertaining folks twice a night with his slickly-tuned act of legerdemain.
