#4 Didn't Clinton start the rendition program? It only became evil when Bush continued to do it, of course.

#5 Does this mean he also approves renditionering and cracklins...?

A cracklin is a piece of fatty pork skin or hog membrane that's left after the grease is cooked out. The cooking, or rendering, process is done in a large cast iron pot sitting over a wood fire. In the old days when we butchered a hog, much of the fat and scraped skin was cut off and tossed into the pot ...

#6 Why, yes Rambler you are correct. And it will be OK again under the O'man, disappearing down another memory hole*

#7 I doubt aragula-boy will ever have tasted cracklins, and certainly never have prepared them. The same goes for hog-head cheese, chitlins and collard greens. Those are all primarily Southern delicacies. He's more into Wagyu steaks and imported wines.

#8 Didn't Clinton start the rendition program?

(1995)
o Return of Indicted Terrorists to the U.S. for Prosecution: We shall vigorously apply extraterritorial statutes to counter acts of terrorism and apprehend terrorists outside of the United States. When terrorists wanted for violation of U.S. law are at large overseas, their return for prosecution shall be a matter of the highest priority and shall be a continuing central issue in bilateral relations with any state that harbors or assists them. Where we do not have adequate arrangements, the Departments of State and Justice shall work to resolve the problem, where possible and appropriate, through negotiation and conclusion of new extradition treaties. (U)

If we do not receive adequate cooperation from a state that harbors a terrorist whose extradition we are seeking, we shall take appropriate measures to induce cooperation. Return of suspects by force may be effected without the cooperation of the host government, consistent with the procedures outlined in NSD-77 (1992), which shall remain in effect. (S) --http://www.fas.org/irp/offdocs/pdd39.htm

#10 Renditions done by Bill Clinton the "patriot";
Rendtions done by Obama the "chosen one";
Renditions done by Bush the "bad";
go figure.

Since Saddam harbored terrorists for years in Iraq, including the Jackal, why do these same asshats claim Bush waged an illegitmate war? Just following the law as introduced by the Dems.
