Under Clinton, anything's possible.

[getoffmylawn]

I just received this in an email from an old member of Freerepublic and I figured I'd give my new computer a whirl.

[Incorrigible]

Wraith, call the office please.

[Robert A Cook PE]

Nah ...............

The Clintons' White House lie?

[small voice in the wilderness]

What a quandry. Just WHO to believe? A pathetic, lying, stealing, wicked sociopath of a president, or a pathetic, lying, stealing, wicked sociopath of a president?

[PhiKapMom]

Clinton Legacy -- MORE LIES!

[ErnBatavia]

Hans Blixxxx is also a Swede, I believe. Gene pool thing?

[mathurine]

The Swedes have such a superiority in Swedish that no one can know if what they say is true or false. Hopefully the European Union will develop enough facility in that language to make it capable of evaluating what an obscure Swedish brigadier spinmeister is saying.

[Shermy]

"It would be great indeed if the EU could act as a balance to the world's only true superpower, which acts alone these days."

This incantation of a leftie shibboleth ruins his credibility IMO.

Retired Swedish Brigadier General Bo Pellnas,

Are we supposed to be impressed with a general from a neutral country?

[getoffmylawn]

I don't find credility to be either a rightie or a leftie thing. Years of crap being fed to us by CNN is now being matched bucket for bucket by crap being fed to us by Fox.

I'm also not opposed to a balance of power and neither were our founding fathers. One of the great successes of the US is our balance of power between the Executive, Legislative, and Judiciary branches.

Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

[getoffmylawn]

Are we supposed to be impressed with a general from a neutral country?

I'm not sure if we're supposed to "impressed" with him. I just know that I'm more inclined to trust him over any Democrat or Republican president we've had in the last in that last 20 some years.

I'd believe Barney Frank or Jim Jeffords before I'd believe a politician or bureaucrat from a socialist country.

What's neutrality got to do with competence or honesty? The Swedes, along with the Swiss, have long been neutral, (less time for the Swedes, IIRC). But being neutral doesn't mean they are pacifists. Both have universal military service, with large reserve establishments, and the Swedes equipment is technally on a par with that produced by Germany, Britain and France, better in some areas. The Swiss Militia system served as model for that of the United States during the early years of our Republic. They've kept theirs up, we haven't. They send a full auto assault home with every reservist, and virtually every male is a reservist. (Officer and NCOs only get pistols IIRC, although they are free to buy their own AR if they want)

Bill Clinton and Madeline Albright, the prototypical "Ugly Americans"

[LenS]

Anyone who trusts a socialist Swedish general over Ronald Reagan clearly needs to get a firmer grip on reality.

[LenS]

Ah, the Swedes and the Swiss -- the two nations who sat back and got wealthy during WWII by supplying the Nazis with what they needed to fight (iron, money, etc.). Neutrality is another word for vulture.

[getoffmylawn]

I'd believe Barney Frank or Jim Jeffords before I'd believe a politician or bureaucrat from a socialist country.

But they are from a socialist country. Everytime time the government props up a company like Chrysler with money to keep it running and its labor force employeed or anytime someone needs to go on unemployment to provide food and shelter for their family because the economy took a nose dive and there were lay-offs involved, socialism is involved.

No country is either 100% socialist or 100% freemarket. It's a question of degree.

Again, credibility isn't a rightie or a leftie thing. In my exerience, you are just as likely to find people of equal degrees of credibilty no matter what side of the fence they come down on. I know just as many people of integrity on the left as I do on the right and the same is true with regards to a lack of integrity.

[desertcry]

This bastard is smearing President GWB using clintons actions in Yoguslavia. Mr. pellnas is a typical european, who are very liberal in twisting the truth to suit his agenda of accusing the Bush Administration of what he is doing.

[kaboom]

Shouldn't the title read

Former official provides no evidence that the US fabricated evidence in Yugoslavia
