Jackson claims the Taliban's rulers invited him to mediate - but a Taliban official said that Jackson invited himself.

"He's free to travel . . . I don't know what purpose would be served," Secretary of State Colin Powell told reporters.

Both Powell and National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice, contacted by Jackson, have told him Bush's demands are clear without any need for outside help, officials said.

Good, they should publicly tell him to go back into counseling. Does it not seem strange that this man is able to contact SoS Powell and NSA Rice ? I wonder how he contacts them, ie., public access or private access, and why they would give him this access instead of others.

They should have insisted that Jackson go to see and talk to the Taliban.
At least that keeps him out of the country...and who the hell knows what could happen in a hell hole like Afghanistan......Hell a camel could step on his head (the one above his shoulders).
Semper Fi

How utterly outrageous... With upwards of 7,000 Americans dead and over 6,000 hurt the good Reverend sees this crisis as an opportuntiy for some face time. Think about it! Just when you think the good Reverend can't possibly sink any lower he comes up with this scheme to "inject" himself into the process and place himself on stage... Talk about a great example of one of man's more baser instincts.

Lat night Britt Hume made the panel vote on who they believed, Jackson or the Taliban. Fred Barnes, Mort Kondrake, and Jeff Birnbaum ALL voted for the Taliban!!

Britt said" In every crisis it seems we must have a Jesse Jackson moment, and we are now in the midst of ours." Ha!

Britt also said that the Taliban, when contacted, didn't know who Jesse Jackson was!! Hahahhaha!!

Let him go there. May he descend upon the Taliban and rest there forever. They will quickly tire of him.

Never let him back in our country.

Jackson said he'd also gotten an appeal for help from the parents of two American women jailed in Afghanistan on charges of preaching Christianity.

I've been so worried about those people imprisoned there. Then when the WTC happened, my worries increased for their safety. The Taliban is threatening to cut their heads off. Plus, they are threatening to do the same thing to the imprisoned fathers of the children who were listening to the missionaries.

So, when I read JJ said he'd gotten an appeal for help, my anger raised up. He is such a liar all the time, that I highly doubt this statement. How dare he use the plight of those poor people to push his own selfish agenda. He is pig dung!

Dr. Nauti and I were chuckling about this last night. We decided it is in our national interest to send Jesse "Stay out da Bushes" Jackson, Bubba and Hitlery Klintoon, and Gary Condidit. Those Muslims really frown on infidelity.

I suggested that we implant a BIG microchip in Jesse's buttock to identify the meeting site target.

Let's hope that Colin and/or Condi told Jesse in no uncertain terms that his presence in the area would have NO impact on our war plans. His safety could not be guaranteed. Jesse likes life, his expensive suits, and the adulation he receives from the media and the "black community".

The world will be a better place when everyone realizes the situation(s) will be better off when they simply ignore this slug.

"But the Taliban ambassador to Pakistan, Abdul Salam Zaeef, said that's not what happened: 'We have not invited him, but he offered to mediate and our leader, Mullah Mohammad Omar, has accepted this offer.'"

Like everyone here, I believe the Taliban is telling the truth for a change. So, lets think about this:

If Je$$e contacted the Taliban first....how did he do so? I heard on Fox that it was a "third party". So, who is this "third party"? A member of Osama's network right here in the US? How did Je$$e know whom to contact??? Last, but not least, how did he know how to contact this "third party"???

Perhaps he has intimate knowlege of said terrorist network. Let's face it...how many civilians could just go right out and just contact these people with such amazing ease?

Nah,I stick with Porky Pig. But, I'll settle for any disgusting creature. On second thought, Porky Pig is too kindly for Jackson. More like someone from Bizarro world.
