Clinton said the question of whether China or Europe would replace the United States depended on how their respective governments invested in military might. While Europe's defense investment has been minimal since World War II, China now has the fastest growing military budget in the world.

Of course the Impeached One took a meat ax, or more like a chain saw, to our military budgets, and even with the increases since Jan 2001, and after 9-11 (which were mostly for one time expenses, not new equipment or infrastructure, nor to raise the number of troops) we are still below anything post WW-II and pre-SinkMeister in terms of fraction of our GDP.

I can't believe a US President would utter this crap in a none-too-helpful foreign country at this time.

Then again, this IS Clinton.

[luckystarmom]

Well, if we keep the likes of you and your kind away from the Presidency, then our country will stay on top.

Let's pray that after President Bush there will be another person to follow in his footsteps.

I'm sorry, but it is so hard to think of the married former president, Clinton, without thinking how much he disrespected and dishonored the office of the presidency in the Oval Office by sticking his penis in some young intern's mouth while talking to a Congressman about sending our young men and women in the military to Kosovo.

I know we were told by many that it was "his personal life", "none of our business", "move on" and "everyone does it". Some even congratulated him on how bold and audacious he was to do such a thing right in the People's home and office, even while his wife and daughter may have been at home, too. Many admired him for outwitting the republicans and running circles around them. While others simply didn't care that lying, perjury, and having over 1,000 FBI Files on preceived political opponents was anything to be concerned about.

He had a wonderful and grand opportunity to make this rare and awesome privilege into a bright and shining moment, but he chose to cheapen and stain his presidency and continues to do so by appearing to denigrate the goodness and greatness of our country, our heritage, our traditions, our current President, in an almost wistful desire to see America lose her superpower status whether economically, and/or militarily.

Unfortunately, he is not the only one it seems to suggest such an event, Madeline Albright, Talbot Strobe, and many sadly on the left appear to agree.

I just don't get it.

The DNC's Chinese Money Laundry--

The Year of the Rat:

How Bill Clinton Compromised American Security for Chinese Money

BY Kenneth R. Timmerman

[rimmont]

After WWII with Europe, Japan, and the Soviet Union in ruins, the United States found itself in the position of being an unrivaled super power. Over time the Soviet Union rebuilt, and grew to rival the United States. When the Soviet Union imploded, the United States was back on top again as an unrivaled super power.

It is probably inevitable that other powers will rise to rival the U.S. in the future, but this should be seen as a normal state of affairs with no one power being totally dominant as the U.S. has been. This may be what Clinton was saying. I hope so, because if he was saying that China or the E.U. will have the same kind of hegemony the United States enjoys today, he is ignorant.

[Always Right]

Ex-president Bill Clinton predicted this week that either Communist China, which helped bankroll his 1996 reelection campaign with hundreds of thousands of dollars in illegal contributions, or the European Union, would replace the United States as the world's number one power within the next 30 years.

They forgot to add the last part of the quote..."if the American people are stupid enough to elect my fat-ass wife as President."

[faithincowboys]

It sounds like Clinton wishes this to be. It's rare when you see precisely what a persob thinks. Clinton desperately wants this country to go down, and he spent every moment of his ignoble tenure willing it.

This is not unlike Howard Dean's comment (Clinton's is actually more offensive, I wonder if Kerry will attack Clinton like he did Dean.

[MissAmericanPie]

Both will be super powers given "Free Trade" and all that rubbish, in fact it's already begun. France and Germany floating the idea of leaving NATO in favor of building their own military might. The jobs fleeing the USofA, and every politician is on their knees to the Free Trade idol.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

In his wildest socialist-communist dreams, perhaps.

Does he believe that "we" (as in we Americans, to exclude him) will be sitting idle while the "others" stride by? This is utter nonsense. "They" want us to lie down, to be sure. And we may comply, for a while. But in the end, our spirit will prevail, as our opposition is anti-human and thus have no spirit. Capitalism vs Socialism/Communism = no contest.

[AnimalLover]

I wish someone would shut Clintons big mouth. He must
think that he is still president and that people care
what he thinks! What has to happen to cause one's jaw
to be wired shut?
Between him and his mate(?) screeching like a fishwife,
I've got one big headache!!
And to think I used to be a nice, gentle, relaxed
person.

[Tuscaloosa Goldfinch]

PLEEEEAAASE just go away, bill.

[Dark Wing]

It looks like Clinton is in that group of Democratic politicians that have lost faith in both American nationalism and exceptionalism.

[LibertyLight]

clinton and shrillery are of darkness and the truth comes forth as they long for power and attempt to undermine America.

May America always be guided by God's Light....

[RasterMaster]

Only with another Clinton at the helm of this country.

[patriciaruth]

Reagan taught us to have faith in our system. No matter how formidable our opponents and competitors look, they have the inherent rot of socialism and communism eating their insides.

Naturally I wouldn't expect the traitor Clinton to understand this.
