"Clinton is responsible for the needless death of over 800,000 Rwandians in 1994."

"If I had 5000 peacekeepers I could have stopped this." Clinton has more blood on his hands then Slobo and Saddam combine.

And, later in his Presidency, he apologized to the Rwandans, claiming he did not know they were being killed.

I'm sure this "man" has a special place reserved for him in hell.

I think Mike is sneaking around the edges to run for something What I don't know.
If he would run against Bennie Thompson I would have to vote for him.

I feel quite sure Mike's political career isn't over. I don't like Mike, but maybe he is better than Bennie.

Moreover, maybe Mike would be a better representative in a Republican administration. It could be Clinton rubbed off on him too much, and maybe he's learned his lesson.

The fact that he waived his fee for Tougaloo College says "a lot about Tougaloo / I guess they didn't have the $150,000 to $350,000 Clintoon normaly gets.

it means he 'bought' them for 250,000 dollars by not accepting the fee ...

We can only hope that President Bush moves quickly to prevent a similar tragedy in the Congo. The last thing I want to hear is the Dummycraps accusing the President of being responsible to the deaths of thousands in the Congo .
