#1 I see Bill warming up for the Kofi job. Hear no evil; see no evil.

#2 "true peace and security can only come through principled compromise."

I prefer: "Peace through superior firepower." myself but then I'm not a politician...

#4 A lot of Israelis idolize Clinton. I think he just used up most of his political capital with them.

If only Billy would shut the hell up and stop speaking evil.

#7 Jebus, EX-presidents should keep their mouths shut.
This clown is lucky not to be in jail. What he didn't do could have saved us from 9/11. So really, just STFU Bill Clinton. Israel doesn't need your "ex-purt" advice.

#8 Do you suppose Clinton thinks if he follows Jimmy Carter by actively opposing American interests overseas that he too will get a Nobel Prize? For a supposedly intelligent man, he is either ignorant or perverse beyond imagining.

#11 The Dems right now are pretty much promo themselves as the REAL CONSERVATIVES, REAL RIGHTISTS, REAL AMERICANISTS, plus the true PARTY OF LAW AND ORDER, wid Dubya's GOP as the one in supp of laissez faire, alternatism, and "liberalism", etc. Clinton's post "Big Dog" remarks plus these only shows, AGAIN, that America will the only one blamed for Iran, regardless of whether Iran [indigenously]devs one or 100 nukes, andor from Russia-China. ALso shows that the Lefties are depending on America and JudeoXtianity to "justify" and save Islam, as oppos to Islam by for and from dedicated Muslims.

#14 "He was elected because of the economic distress of ordinary Iranians, and which he promised to relieve by giving them financial assistance,"

the one and only prism through which a liberal can view the world.

#15 This serves to help set up the Dhimmidonks for the moment of truth - when Iran is either defanged or we allow an insane Muzzy regime to gain the offensive power of deliverable nukes to set the world back a few centuries. I tell you, the day is coming when you the unwashed masses of US citizens have finally succumbed to the two things which can lead to our demise: isolationism and tranzi-ism. When that moment comes, we will either fight to regain America and rebuild it as the bastion of freedom in the world - Civil War - or we will meet our demise. I would prefer we pull our heads out of the sand, now, of course.

Clintoon the Socialist Whore is setting the stage for sapping our will just when it is needed to meet this pivotal moment with Iran. This cowardice will be quoted as if it came from a Churchillian Statesman, instead of a hedonistic asshole and pluperfect tool of freedom's enemies.

Clinton would be perfect as first against the wall.

#17 Speaking of things Clintonian, I hear through the Washington grapevine that the other Clinton is talking to corporate America about bringing back her plan to take over the health care industry. The deal is, corporations support her plan (and her run for Prez), in return they get to off-load their corporate health insurance plans, which have become a big headache for them. So far this deal seems to be under the radar of the MSM and punditry.

#24 For a supposedly intelligent man,..

The key word there is supposedly. If he actually had any, he wouldn't have done what he did, nor act the way he has.

#25 While sitting in the Shaman's Office last Friday waiting for my monthly injection I broke down and picked up a Time magazine. There was an article on Hillary and how she has used her office to open up a colaborative between some very small cottage industries (out of home VERY small business) and EBay to market their products. It seems this has been a very succesful venture for these small businesses. Make no mistake, she is VERY dangerous. Things like this are actually very good for the people she represents and are among the things Senators should be doing instead of getting more Pork for their respective states. I still don't think she will abandon her leftist, liberal ways should she become President. Just an observation on my part as to why a lot of people will vote for her.

It's always "it's the economy, stupid" with this guy.He makes Calvin Coolidge look like a giant of statecraft.

#29 Clinton is saying nothing that is not part of the dhimmidonk line. So my question is, TW & LH, why do so many Jewish voters continue to vote for them?

Just because they're Jewish doesn't mean they're smart, Unaimble Whurt2220. Besides, just like the African-American community, the percentage of Jews voting Republican/Conservative is at the beginning of an asymtotic curve. Just before the last Presidential election I was invited to hear Senator Kerry's Jewish brother speak to the local Jewish movers and shakers (I'm still not sure why, but I accepted with alacrity). The key topic of conversation afterward was how to win back the Jews who weren't going to vote Democrat that year. As I recall, even Liberalhawk voted for Bush, because right now to him the War on Terror is the most important thing.

#30 It's not just GWOT and Israel, TW. When I talk with my Jewish friends about a whole range of domestic issues, welfare, affirmative action and crime for example, they sound like trunks but then when it's time to vote, they vote tail. Some habits die hard, I guess. That's why Rove wants to get the Hispanics now.

#31 For those of us who are intelligent (yes, I do flatter myself, I know), UW2220, it is about GWOT and Israel first. There's a difference between being stretched to the limits of one's ability, and having higher limits than the majority. Again, just because they're Jewish doesn't mean they're smarter.

#32 Slick Willie has bodyguards around him who pack heat, so he can say anything without consequences.

Iran threatened Israel with total destruction. Do the Israelis blow it off as propaganda or take the threat seriously?
1. If you blow off the threat, and the threat is carried out, then you are royally f**ked. Game over.
2. If you take the threat seriously and take countermeasures and nothing happens, then fine, but if the threat is attemped, then you have a defense and you survive.

Sounds like #2 is a win/win.

Back years ago, I had an electrician who was drinking and screwing up. He got suspended w/o pay for 3 days. He called me up one evening and said that I was the trouble and he was going to come over and blow me away. I told him that he was drunk and to take a nap. He said that he was coming over with his hunting rifle. I told him that I was armed, and that I was calling the police. He said that he was heading out the door. I called the police and they picked him up on his 4-wheeler with a rifle. He got convicted of assault in the 4th degree, DWI, etc etc. I took his threat seriously, and Ima writing on RB, so here I am, alive and well, heh.

#34 AP - What I wanna know is, if someone had knocked on your door, how many times would you have fired before opening it? I'd guess a clip, or two, would be a fair start. The cops did have the good sense to call you, right? Lol. :P

#37 "...true peace and security can only come through principled compromise."

In part, compromise means you don't get everyhing you want-just some of what you want.

So apparently, Bill would overlook partial destruction of Israel, just not complete destruction. More "they deserved it crap" from a liberal-big surprise there.

The guy is a whore, you're right, .com.
