Here are the facts boys & girls, clinton* and crew have been selling our country down the pike since BEFORE he went to the POTUS office. More will be coming out if the shovel is inserted deep enough and in the right areas.

Another SCANDAL by the master of BJ's, swept under the rug...

...and rinsed down the sink.

[The Raven]

God, can you imagine if this would have happened earlier? A Clinton/Gore/Albright/Reno team. Who else was there?

[hattend]

MANY functionaries of the United States State Department, who handled South Asia under the Clinton Administration, may have to face embarrassment when the Bush regime gets down to locating the factors that made it easier for terrorists to carry out the September 11 carnage.

Only embarrassment? Maybe some firings or perhaps some indictments instead?

Bubba's legacy gift to America, the legacy of FEAR in our nation. BASTARD! I HOPE HE AND HITLERY ROT IN HELL!!

I spent a very cold February being taught foreign policy by a guy named Michael Sheehan. I wonder if it is the same guy.

He was the person that taught me that what is in a news story is not nearly as important as what is not.

[Carry_Okie]

The fact that his recommendations were ignored was one of the reasons why Sheehan left the State Department to take up a job with the United Nations.

A reward for loyalty to the cause?

Would some freepers be so kind as to to enlighten us ignorant folks as her background. Me thinks we're dealing with an idiot hippie jackass Albrighter.

I think you may be right.....wish I had some info on this traitor......anyone out there know?

[Benrand]

Isn't that how liberals are? Especially the ones who drink coffee at Starbucks and wear sandals. Completely oblivious.

[KLT]

It's ironic she's standing next to the flag, I'm surprised it didn't blow up in her ugly face!

[SuziQ]

Might any of this stuff have been on any of the LAPTOPS which were stolen from the State Dept. last year? Now THAT would be something of a 'co-inkidink' wouldn't it?

[Two Thirds Vote Aye]

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!

This is interesting:

FEBRUARY 9, 1995
STATEMENT BY ROBIN RAPHEL ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF STATE FOR SOUTH ASIAN AFFAIRS HOUSE INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS SUBCOMMITTEE ON ASIA AND THE PACIFIC

[section9]

Consider the source, here, before you all go off half-cocked. This is an article in Economic Times bylined from New Delhi. The author shows strong leanings towards India. Robin has, apparently, said somethings about the Kashmir that has rubbed India the wrong way.

The long knives are out, and this writer has an axe to grind.

Be Seeing You,

Only embarrassment? Maybe some firings or perhaps some indictments instead?

I was thinking of a firing squad myself! (After being found guilty by a court of law of course.)

[1rudeboy]

Other than the fact that you want me to watch a PBS video, what's your point?

[Roebucks]

Here's an interesting tidbit:

Source article

As the lady pointperson for South Asia, she also had to be mindful of what many cynics call here the "Robin Raphel fever." Ms. Raphel was sitting in Ms Rocca's seat during the first term of President Clinton from 1992 to 1996.

Those were very intense days of the freedom struggle in held Kashmir. But many in New Delhi kept suspecting as if the Americans were "fanning the trouble there" with conspiratorial winks and nods to various Kashmiri leaders.

Dr Fai, a US based "communication strategist" of Kashmiri origin, was considered the "conduit" and Raphel "the culprit." During Rocca's stay in New Delhi, Harish Khare, another writer on South Asian affairs, almost addressed her by concluding in another article for The Hindu: "The...task is to ensure that there is no outbreak of a Robin Raphel fever, once again in Washington (over Kashmir). Any show of American interest would complicate (things)."
