The greatness of America is that you have the right to fight.

Well, he has a point there.

Jackson is a veteran at mediating between warring parties shaking down warring parties under the pretext of mediating.

Then we became seen as the aggressor, we bombed Grenada, bombed Panama there was pre-emptive strike in Iraq...

No mention of Viet Nam, Haiti or the Balkans. Why Jesse?

In other words it is a federal crime to conduct your own, private foreign policy. Hmm.

Great idea. Sweeten the deal with the goats, Helen Thomas, Jimmah Cahter AND Madeline Albright. Uh, oh that's right - they're all old goats.

"Jackson is a veteran at mediating between warring parties shaking down warring parties under the pretext of mediating."

About 20 years ago when Jesse was extorting from companies right and left, his family "bought" the largest distributor of Anheuser Busch products in the country, the Chicago distributorship, for one million bucks. This was obviously a payoff to avoid a threat as that distributorship had to be worth at least 50 million then, probably a billion now.

Yes; and IIRC he used similar tactics when dealing with the PLO and other Middle Eastern groups in the 1980s. He would threaten to turn support in the US against them unless they paid a "protection" fee. I think there's some stuff on this in Kenneth Timmerman's book.

How about we load up all of Farrakan's NOI idiots and trade them for all the Christians rotting in muslim jails?

Solve two problems at once, right there!

Jackson's retirement, and then his silence, would help defuse racial tension................

Don't let this slip out to the Jihadis and their state sponsors, but Jesse is really a CIA disinformation agent. He's cleverly established a Left-Wing "peace activist" cover in order to negotiate hostage releases on behalf of the Bush Administration and the Israelis. That's why the IRS refuses to investigate the Rev's shaky finances. Thank goodness the bad guys aren't on to him yet. I'd hate to be in his shoes if that happens.
