The Clinton Administration and Internationalist State Deprtment. How do I hate you. Let me count the ways:
1. Putting the needs of the UN and other international institutions before the US.
2. Putting the feeling of other nations above the national security of the US.
3. Putting the almighty dollar and trade above the lives of Americans.

Sorry to have to make this comment, but it's the GWB Internationalist State Deprtment now, and I don't think it's any better.

You may turn up foreign state involvement, in which case, you've got to do something about it, and that might mean body bags coming back on the evening news. Or you don't do anything about it and you look weak.

They did not do anything about it and did look weak. The animals that populate the middle east saw this and pushed on to bolder and bolder attacks. Next came the USS Cole. Later 9-11. As Patick Henry wrote, "Who fears the wrath of cowards?" It has been said before that Clinton bears the brunt of the blame for 9-11. I would go one step further, his criminal negligence directly lead to the death of 3000 people. But he can sleep at night knowing he did not have to use the US military against the poor opressed Iranians or Saudis who harbor an "understandable" hatred towards the west. After all, the only people Clinton ever used miltary force agaist were white eurpopeans and of course the group he held in highest contempt, American citizens.

You must be joking, right?

No, I'm not saying GWB is in sync with State's agenda, but it's his responsibility, and it's not much different now than under Clinton. I think it's time GWB made State over in his image.

I think that Saddam and the Taliban may differ slightly with your assessment of the situation.

fyi

I agree with your comment. The gains made in the WOT have been made AGAINST the wishes and will of those careerists in the State Department, which for 70 years has been against this country and its security.

As in the CIA and the FBI, State it well past due on a total housecleaning by our beloved President. the cost of mandatory retirements would be nothing compared to the increase in security that getting rid of the anti-Americans in state would yield.

It's a truly ugly story, isn't it?

The Morris response tells us everything we need to know about the inhabitant of the White House. As if we didn't already know, that is.

When there were new depths of cowardice, callousness and corruption to plumb, the Clinton administration never disappointed us. They unerringly found the bottom...then dug a little deeper.

[SJackson]

You're suggesting Iraq was a State Dept iniative? Afghanistan, maybe, partly.

It's the neocon Executive branch that devised our post 9/11 strategy, not the State Dept.

Yes, Colin Powell is better than Maddy, but the underlings are the same.

For State, Term 2, we need

Yup, second term we need

Maybe we should start a FR draft Newt campaign?

[CyberAnt]

And .. for once Dicky Morris was right .. Clinton had no stomach for terrorism and therefore paid no attention to it.
