The international community must use the United Nations' route to settle the Iraqi crisis, former US President Bill Clinton said.
President Clinton told the Labour Party conference in Blackpool that the international community could provoke undesirable consequences if it mishandled the crisis over Saddam Hussein.
"We will not allow ourselves to be defeated by tyrants with weapons of mass destruction. That will not happen," he said.
Yes, Bill, you rather tried to appease them before the defeat occured. Or gave them access to America's secrets for campaign cash. - Ivan
"Whatever we do we have to have a care for the security of our nation, the character of our people and the future of our children."
Bill mentioned "the children" at least a dozen times in this nauseating speech - Ivan
Global community
President Clinton stressed the importance of a global community in dealing with poverty, disease and terrorism throughout the world.
Meaning - fork over your cash to them so I can look good, and bomb them whenever you need to cover up dallying with an intern - Ivan
"We must respond in a way that is consistent with the larger obligation we all have to build a more integrated global community.
Who is this 'we', Bill? Ivan
"Of course we have to stand against weapons of mass destruction," he said.
Translation: "They may take out a few hotties I haven't gotten my hands on in the process" - Ivan
He added that Saddam must be dealt with diplomatically, and that military action must be a last resort after the United Nations resolution of "unfettered inspections" is given a chance.
"But if we can we have to do it in the context of building the international institutions that in the end we will have to depend upon to guarantee the peace and security of the world and the human rights of all people everywhere."
Clintonian meaningless blather - Ivan
World's problems
President Clinton voiced his support for Prime Minister Tony Blair, and told the conference that the world's problems would only be solved through politics.
"Politics matters and even if you're a former president there are some things we can accomplish for the common good only through the common institution of our elected representatives," he said.
"The world has a whole lot of problems but we haven't had the chance to bring it together for very long.
"So we should be upbeat and grateful your party is in power at a time when you have the chance to make all the difference."
Now what else he said. He said that he and his people and the Third Way is based on "ideas", meanwhile, we conservatives are prisoners of "ideology". He criticised President Bush, saying he disagreed with him on "everything" and nattered on about the "children" and talked about "education" and "health care" and how his vile wife calls Washington DC an "evidence free zone".
I will post more when I have it, but what a festival of vomiting and disgust. Including praise for Nelson Mandela.

Will Baghdad Bonior offer comfort to the men who killed this young serviceman, or maybe spit in the eye of the young man's mother? How about calling his Commander and Chief a liar? Come on creepy democrats, step up to the plate.

I think Not Russia would never had allowed that .... BILL
So he actually accepts now he is no longer President? That's a first! :-)
Yes...he has.
But he's a special genetically altered brand of weed that won't go away until it withers and dies.
His statement has however, erased any doubts I might have had about the validity of this war proposal.
ROFL! Miracles never cease, do they, mo mhile gra? ;)
Best Regards, Ivan
Unfortunately the slender reed that does most of his thinking requires too many interns to keep it withered. ;)
Regards, Ivan
Absolutely. Like Blair, acting almost like a conservative these days. :-)
Emphasis on the almost, mo mhúirnín bán. ;)
Best Regards, Ivan
The problem is that as much as he may want to, he can get on his kneepads for himself. ;)
Regards, Ivan
Your ordering our great military to fight on the side of Muslim terrorists and against innocent Christians in Kosovo was a "last resort?" A nation that didn't even remotely threaten us? May you burn in Hell, Slick.
Huh? What did he say...? In the context of his being in charge for 8 of the past 10 years,doesn't this read just like another piece of mindless word drool from the skunk? I can't believe he gets paid to utter sentences like these.Could he possibly be subtly referring/complaining to not having a 3rd term and having 9/11/01 happen on his watch? As in " I earned a 3rd term and they didn't let me have it ". That was my first reaction.
That does sound in character for Weird Bill, mo mhile gra. One wonders if he had Buddy killed out of envy for his flexibility.
Best Regards, Ivan
It's difficult to determine whether Blair's actions as of late have been taken because of political expediency or because he's actually taking a stand for what he believes. Either way, I'm glad he's onboard.
I just made this The Clinton Legacy Vinyl Bumper Sticer (3.5" x 10") this morning. It is also available in a Magnetic Bumper Sticker and a License Plate. These are being uploaded to my 0cents.com site today
TRAITOR!!!!! TRAITORS ONE AND ALL!!!!

Chamberlain and Hitler

Democrats and Iraq
When all the member nations of the UN are democracies, then MAYBE we can rely on them to genuinely care about peace, security, and human rights. In the meantime, they're just a bunch of anti-American kleptocracies interested only in our money.
In a word, no.
He did say several times how he was enjoying being in the limelight again. Would you PLEASE confine him to your shores. Between him and Scott Ritter it's a wonder that Satan didn't drag us beneath the waves this week.

... So in 1919, Mussolini came up with an alternative strategy. He called it Fascism. Mussolini described his new movement as a ``Third Way'' between capitalism and communism. As under communism, the state would exercise dictatorial control over the economy. But as under capitalism, the corporations would be left in private hands.
Hitler followed the same game plan. He openly acknowledged that the Nazi party was ``socialist'' and that its enemies were the ``bourgeoisie'' and the ``plutocrats'' (the rich). Like Lenin and Stalin, Hitler eliminated trade unions, and replaced them with his own state-run labor organizations. Like Lenin and Stalin, Hitler hunted down and exterminated rival leftist factions (such as the Communists). Like Lenin and Stalin, Hitler waged unrelenting war against small business.
A Little Secret About the Nazis
Joseph Goebbels own words: "Those Damn Nazis", long German propaganda piece defining intent and meaning of the Nazi's....National, Socialists....left-wing, "third way.".
Socialist Origins of Neo-Nazi-ism
You Mean Hitler Wasn't a Priest?
All Socialism is National.
Secretary of State Madeleine Albright wasted no time denouncing Senator Jesse Helms' address to the UN. Using an opportunity to meet with the UN Security Council, Secretary Albright sought to smooth ruffled feathers among her former colleagues. "Let me be clear. Only the president and the executive branch can speak for the United States." - Secretary of State Madeline Albright, Jan. 2000 http://www.enterstageright.com/archive/articles/0200helms.htm |

Reapplication may be necessary for the Klintoon variety...

I would rather he were confined UNDER our shores.
Seeing is not believing, excellent essay on the poor in England, the elite socialists who ignore them, and Blackpool, England...Clinton's vacation destination:
Fun now means public drunkenness on a mass scale, screaming in the streets, and the frequent exposure of naked buttocks to passersby. Within moments of arriving on the street along the beach, which was ankle-deep in discarded fast-food wrappings (the smell of stale fat obliterates completely the salt smell of the sea), I saw a woman who had pulled down her slacks and tied a pair of plastic breasts to her bare buttocks, while a man crawled after her on the sidewalk, licking them..
That's right. It should only be used in cases of extreme emergency, such as when your oral sex receptical is testifying before a grand jury or when the Congress is conducting impeachment hearings.
