TRAGIC US POLICY IN RWANDA

 

Mr. MICA. Mr. Speaker, I come before the House tonight to reflect on what we have seen on television and heard about, relating to the President of the United States' visit to Africa. I think all of us have witnessed the President as he has made his way across the African continent.

I read in this morning's Washington Post, and I know it was covered by other newspapers, an account of what the President said. And he was in Rwanda when he made this statement. He said,
`We did not act quickly enough after the killing began.' I believe he was talking to Rwandans.

I want to talk about that statement in a second. But President Clinton will not be going to Somalia on this trip. In Somalia, our President took a humanitarian mission initiated by President Bush, and turned it into a $3 billion disaster.

Remember, if you will, that President Clinton placed United States troops under United Nations command. Remember, if you will, that as Americans we watched in horror as our murdered troops were left under U.N. command, unable to defend themselves, were dragged through the streets of Mogadishu.

Today, Somolia has slipped back into chaos after this Clinton fiasco. We have to remember what took place in Africa and what the policies of this administration were. I protested the Clinton proposal for Somalia before that tragedy, time and time again, in the well and on the floor of this House.

Let me now turn to Rwanda. President Clinton, as I said in my opening statement, is quoted as saying, `We did not act quickly enough after the killing began.' Pay particular attention to what the President said and what is printed in the papers.

Let me, if I may, as Paul Harvey says, tell you and repeat the rest of the story.
The President said we did not act quickly enough after the killing began. But what the President of the United States did not say to the world and to Africa is what we should now be remembering.

 

I saved the newspaper accounts of what the President said, because I was so stunned by the lack of action and actually the blocking of action by this administration, and brought them with me to the floor tonight. I saved them and had them blown up.

The Secretary General of the United Nations, Boutros-Ghali, begged President Clinton to allow an all-African U.N. force to go into Rwanda. Let me read what he said. This is what was in the newspaper.

When last year's peace agreement collapsed on April 7th and fierce fighting broke out between Hutu and Tutsi, the United Nations cut its 2,700-member force in Rwanda back to a few hundred at the urging of the Clinton administration.

I spoke out then, and I have spoken out afterwards on the floor when we saw what was happening with this administration and this policy before 1 million Africans were slaughtered.

Let me, if I may, recall some of the statements that I made on this floor. I made one statement on this floor, and I will read it. Let me, if I may, trace the history of this tragedy. Let me also, if I may, trace the history of our failed policy.

On April 6th, a plane with the presidents of Rwanda, Burundi was shot down. We knew then the potential for violence, terror and mass killings.

On May 11th, the United States criticized a U.N. plan to send 5,500 multinational soldiers into Rwanda to protect refugees and assist relief workers. No U.S. troops would have been involved.

On May 16th, the U.S. forced the U.N. to delay plans to send 5,500 troops to end violence in Rwanda, an all-U.N. force.

So we see that the history of action and inaction by this administration, and history should so properly record it.

Islamophobic

As used by the islamists, the word is meant to convey a racist, irrational, abnormal fear. It is used to defuse the opposition.

It will become increasing clear to those capable of critical thinking that the fear is none of these things.

Fear of the islamofascist terrorist -- indeed, maybe even fear of Islam, itself -- will increasingly be seen as appropriate, adaptive, crucial to our survival.



pro-islamofascist-terrorist radical chic
WHY THE LEFT IS DANGEROUS FOR AMERICA

 

by Mia T, 5.15.04
 

As long as you've got a rich man on your arm, you don't need a big bag.

--Elizabeth Rickard

 

 

The $100 billion Iraqi Oil for Food program was by far the largest relief operation in the history of the United Nations. By extension, it's rapidly becoming the U.N.'s largest-ever scandal....

Those included rewarding friends and allies world-wide with oil allocations on very favorable terms, as well as extracting large kickbacks from oil traders and suppliers of humanitarian goods....

There can be little doubt that U.N. mismanagement contributed greatly to the negative perception of the anti-Saddam containment policy. There is also little doubt that the reward and kickback scheme--as well the possibility of exposure--was a factor as some countries weighed whether to back U.S.-led regime change in Iraq. There is even reason to suspect that some of the Saddam friends and allies who benefited may have been members of the U.N. Secretariat.

Oil for Scandal
The Wall Street Journal Editorial Page
Thursday, March 18, 2004 12:01 a.m.

 


eave it to the French to make pro-islamofascist-terrorist radical chic all the rage.

They and their moneygrubbing, Oil-for-Food defrauding cohorts abroad, and their power-hungry would-be terrorist sympathizers here, are all sporting "THE LOOK."

(How many of those oh so trendy Kerry-clinton-Kennedy hate-America, blame-America-first sound bites will Al-Jazeera broadcast today?)

The trusty triad's half-truths, exaggerations and outright lies, confounded by fog of war, vagaries of peace and uncharted territory of asymmetric netherworlds, remind us that things are not always what they first seem. The UN Oil-for-Food scandal, for example, has shown us it was not "going to war with Iraq" that was "all about oil," but rather, "not going to war with Iraq." The Left, we now see, had that one, (as they have most things), exactly backward.

The dernier cri of seditious and corrupt Leftists everywhere, pro-islamofascist-terrorist radical chic renders the Left, irrespective of policy, no less dangerous to Western civilization than the terrorists they aid and abet.

What more could a citizen want in a presidential candidate? (Yeah, I know. Had she been an American Idol contestant it would have made her a shoe-in, but you can't have everything.)

I almost forgot. Being 'the smartest woman in the world' (the masses will lend their memories only to the thousandfold repetition of the most simple ideas … Mein Kampf) doesn't hurt. either.

SEX, LIES AND SOCK PUPPETS:
HOW THE CLINTONS ARE HANDLING THE HILLARY DUD FACTOR

by Mia T, 3.22.06

FALSE


TRUE

 











illary-the-person isn't running. The idea of hillary is, the idea of hillary as put out on a daily basis by all manner of proxy, from simple spinner to elaborate Hollywood production.1

QUESTION: When was the last time you observed "the smartest woman in the world"2 partake in our process of political discourse, or, as Charles Kuralt once put it, relish in "the raucous give and take of American democracy?" ANSWER: Never. Hillary-the-person answers to no one.3

Hillary-the-person never shows her face. Hillary-the-person never talks. Part of the reason is substance-- or more precisely, the lack of it: The clintons are a truly banal bunch. But, as the husband amply demonstrates, banality, in and of itself, is not a nonstarter if you have a semblance of style. But, sadly, missus clinton doesn't have that, either.

The upshot of all this vacuity are positive numbers for hillary (such as they are) that are inversely related to appearance frequency, and, more specifically, inversely related to the following mouth variables: magnitude of agape, amplitude and frequency of effluvia.4 

The bottom line is this paradox: In order for hillary clinton to have any chance of winning elections, she must all but vanish from the public stage.5

So when hillary-the-person has a problem, for example, she stays hidden and in her place dispatches her prevaricators to spin us silly. Howard Wolfson is the current model.

 

 

If the problem has already taken root, she plants false news stories about it. (Missus clinton's sorry sock-puppet status falls into this category.) 6

It is only when her power, treasure or freedom appears in imminent danger does she deign7 to put the lie10 in our face herself.8

Albright explained that a [sham] Mideast accord would yield [if not peace for the principals, surely] a Nobel Peace Prize for clinton. Kill or capture bin Laden and clinton could kiss the 'accord' and the Peace Prize good-bye.

If clinton liberalism, smallness, cowardice, corruption, perfidy--and, to borrow a phrase from Andrew Cuomo, clinton cluelessness--played a part, it was, in the end, the Nobel Peace Prize that produced the puerile pertinacity that enabled the clintons to shrug off terrorism's global danger.

Mia-You so nailed how that pesky ol' character issue impacts all else in governing.

Maddy Allbright, genuine slug and rogue nation whore par excellence, mirrors the klintons' lack of ethical, moral bearing, lack of concern for their nation, and inability to take a tough stance.

I'm reminded of Sally Field's Oscar acceptance speech when she cried out over and over " You like me, you really, really like me!"

The klintons and their creepy bunch of dirty administration officials ALWAYS took the route that they assumed would give them a popularity boost...to HELL with our national security....grab that brass ring ( or Nobel prize ) and, well, " move on " ( can't be bogged down with Rwandan genocide, terrorists murdering and troops, etc., don'tchaknow! ). After all, there are so many things to do...sell our White House access to foreign enemies for big buck, spend lots and lots of time worrying about our legacy, hiring Craig Livingstone's replacement..etc. etc. etc....

Jerks like depressed Bill and vile Hillary surround themselves with like minded vermin. All depraved people do this...they are unable to function when surrounded by folks with integrity.

Let's see...wasn't it during the klinton reign of terror and assault upon our beloved nation that the phrase " Character doesn't matter " was coined? INCREDIBLE. I remember danny blather asking this question in ALL SERIOUSNESS? It was twilight zone moment gone wild for moi. Remember that? Tommy Brokaw asked the same question....I mean.....it was surreal! Nuts!!!!

The klintons still give me a visceral reaction. Always will. They're traitors.

Thank GOD billy and his genuinely crazy wife were OUT of our White House when our nation was attacked by the islamic cowards searching for virgins.

Too bad the voters didn't heed 41's warning.... Too bad 41 didn't make his case more pointedly....


Twenty presidents rank higher than bill clinton and 20 rank lower. But this placement assumes equal weight for each of the dimensions. And therein lies the flaw.

If 9/11 taught us anything, it is that presidential character and moral authority count, and count most.4 If the variables are properly weighted, bill clinton will always come out dead last.

That is, unless Americans are dumb enough to make the same mistake twice.5, 6

THE CLINTONS--AMERICA'S BIGGEST BLUNDER
Hear Bush41 Warn Us--October 19, 1992*

hear
*Thanx to Cloud William for text and audio


LEHRER: President Bush, your closing statement, sir.

 

PRESIDENT BUSH: Three weeks from now--two weeks from tomorrow, America goes to the polls and you're going to have to decide who you want to lead this country ...

On foreign affairs, some think it's irrelevant. I believe it's not. We're living in an interconnected world...And if a crisis comes up, ask who has the judgment and the experience and, yes, the character to make the right decision?

And, lastly, the other night on character Governor Clinton said it's not the character of the president but the character of the presidency. I couldn't disagree more. Horace Greeley said the only thing that endures is character. And I think it was Justice Black who talked about great nations, like great men, must keep their word.

And so the question is, who will safeguard this nation, who will safeguard our people and our children? I need your support, I ask for your support. And may God bless the United States of America.

 

(Applause)
