I'll second Howie's rant here about Slick Willie's poor taste in lighting into Bush. The really pathetic part of it, though, is that he chooses to do so the very same day that North Korea announces it's giving up its nuclear program and turning over the stuff it's made already. Like Al Gore giving a speech about the urgency of global warming on the coldest day of the year, Bill's timing is hilariously lousy.

Of course, Jeff, I don't trust the Norks on this at all: I don't trust them to allow complete IAEA inspections--I suspect there will be a lot of Saddam-style peek-a-boo being played--nor do I trust them to turn over everything like they say. But if they turn over anything at all, well, that's one pile of plutonium or maybe even one completed warhead they're not going to sell to Zawahiri or Assad or anyone else. It'll join Khadaffi's naughty stuff up in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. When it comes to yanking them out of circulation, any nukes is good nukes. What's more, this appears not to have affected our own bargaining position in the slightest.

Now: let us remember who let them get that far in the first place:

That is not Condi clinking the bubbly with The Indomitable Man from Mount Paektu! Yes, once again, Bush is cleaning up a Clinton-era problem. Much like we're now hunting down Osama--after Clinton bumbled along and wasted several shots to take him out, and while Gorelick and co. were busy building the wall between intel and law enforcement which helped shelter the Sept. 11 hiackers. Or much like Bush has deposed Saddam, after Billy Jeff looked the other way while oil-for-food corrupted the world and Iraqi children languished under sanctions, or tossed a few cruise missiles Baghdad-way after Saddam tried to take out G.H.W. Bush in 1993.

As Ace likes to say, I question the timing. And the question is, could Bill have screwed the timing up any worse if he'd planned to?

PS Cordial glasses for champagne? No flutes or saucers? Tacky, tacky, Lil' Kim. The sanctions were clearly having an effect.

UPDATE: Sorry, I'm just very curious about those cordial glasses in the picture. They look like these, which are 6.5" high and hold 2 oz.

I think this is a photo-op choice. Since Kim is like five-one with the poof, and Albright couldn't guard Smurfette in a pickup game, they chose tiny glasses for tiny people. Ordinary champagne glasses would have looked like goldfish bowls on these two. Can't have the dignitaries dwarfed by the stemware.

No, I'm happily married, one kid, why do you ask? more...

Bill Clinton broke with tradition and has flamed President Bush for just about everything. Actually I've been waiting for this.

On the US budget, Clinton warned that the federal deficit may be coming untenable, driven by foreign wars, the post-hurricane recovery programme and tax cuts that benefitted just the richest one percent of the US population, himself included

Bullshit Bill. I may not agree with everything Bush has done the last six years but being upper lower or lower middle class I have gotten the best tax returns ever. I mean I get back more than I pay if I spend my bucks right. The idea that only the rich benefit from these cuts is just untrue. I got back about 2400 bucks last year and as a single income family of three 2400 bucks is good money for me. The bush tax policies are way better for me than yours ever were. If we want to raise taxes on the rich fine with me. But to reverse the tax cuts will cut my return from 2400 bucks to about 350 under Clinton. I have to ask myself am I better off than I was six years ago? Hell yes I am!!!!. Grrrrrrr.

In the right place has more. As does polipundit on WMD.

3 Bill Clinton's taxes made it impossible for me to continue a small business I had even as a sub-s corp. When all was said and done, I was paying out 42%+ on wages alone by the end of his term. Being that I was the only employee, that was pretty sad.

4 This is Bill Clinton, the consumate politian. My mother is from Arkansas, very close to where Clinton grew up(within 30 miles), and she always said that Clinton was the best politian the US has ever had, with the possible exception of Abraham Lincoln. He knows that Hillary is lining up for a run for the White House in '08, and he smells blood in the water. His problem, though, is that he is always attuned to polls, and doesn't take other factors into consideration. Leadership is the major value he lacks, therefore he is somewhat like a child in his temperament. That is why the women all love him so. He seems to be their baby boy the bully is picking on.

5 Will someone just ask him to go away? I assume all this BS from him is because of Tony Blair sticking a fork in the Kyoto BS and then Able Danger and Frontpage magazine highlighting his shortcoming with terrorists. He is just like a windup doll.

6 All these rich people complaining about getting a tax cut should talk to their tax preparer and ask how to donate money to the government. The IRS webpages have instructions. Although, Bill should know this, being the former president and all. If they are all so pissed about getting a tax break, then they should put their refund where their mouth is and donate it back! (If paying taxes is so great, why are all the rich hiding their money overseas?)

7 I'm sure that the Pres is pleased at his good judgment in allowing this POS to stand with him and his father in seeking Katrina relief, not to mention the Far East tsunami. I have never understood why Bush 43 gave Clinton the time of day. Perhaps he wonders why now too.

10 howie, you emailed me this link with the note that I wouldn't agree with it... not for nothing, but I have only posted a handful of political-type posts on my site and if you've read all of them you would have come to the conclusion that I vote for whomever I think will do the best job. I am neither right or left. so don't send me blatant blogwhoring emails in some lame attempt to get me to post a link to your site in hopes that you've riled me enough to do so. sorry, but THAT is where I disagree.

Posted by: gigglechick at September 19, 2005 04:34 PM (nRJLd)

24 Hey! What's all this squabbling? Ah...I check back in and nothing is different: Howie is offended and IM is measuring rope to hang people with. Anyway, I was wondering what you guys might think of this while you're talkin' about bubba ho-tep: George Stephanopoulos: On rolling back some of Bush's tax cuts to pay for Katrina: "I think it's very important that Americans understand, you know, tax cuts are always popular, but about half of these tax cuts since 2001 have gone to people in my income group, the top 1 percent. I've gotten four tax cuts. They're responsible for this big structural deficit, and they're not going away, the deficits aren't. Now, what Americans need to understand is that that means every single day of the year, our government goes into the market and borrows money from other countries to finance Iraq, Afghanistan, Katrina and our tax cuts. We have never done this before. Never in the history of our republic have we ever financed a conflict, military conflict, by borrowing money from somewhere else." On the Republicans' responsibility for problems involving poverty and race: "If you give your tax cuts to the rich and hope everything works out all right, and poverty goes up, and it disproportionately affects black and brown people, that's a consequence of the action made. That's what they did in the '80s; that's what they've done in this decade. In the middle, we had a different policy. We concentrated tax cuts on lower-income working people and benefits to low-income people that helped them move from welfare to work, and we moved 100 times as many people out of poverty. We know what works, and we had a program that was drastically reducing poverty, and they got rid of it. And they don't believe in it." On whether the United States has a strategy for winning in Iraq: "Well, if we do, it's not working right now, at least ... A lot of good Americans have given their lives; thousands of others have been horribly wounded. So I have been in a position where I wanted the strategy to work. Whether it will or not, I don't know. But the only thing I would sacrifice it to is if I thought we were going to lose in Afghanistan. We cannot lose in Afghanistan. We cannot let the Taliban come back. We cannot let [Hamid] Karzai fail. We cannot relax our efforts to try to keep undermining al-Qaida, because that's still by far a bigger threat to our security."

27 Osama, What pisses me off is the lie that lower income people get no benefit. It's just not true. George I have gotten tax cuts as well as refundable credits for investment education so on and so forth so I benefit greatly and I'm by no means a rich man. Ksumf: See I get a refundable credit for the investemnt in my 401k actually changing my W4 only gets me 80 bucks a month plus I would have to file another if the tax cuts expire. Oh yeah stumppeter why the name calling?

Posted by: Howie at September 20, 2005 09:34 AM (D3+20)

28 Heya Howie... When you say it's not true, and refer to tax cuts...who do you think pays for those tax cuts? Then there's that pesky 16th amendment which has increasingly become hard to prove for the IRS! Funny thing is, properly ratifying personal income tax wouldn't be a huge deal. I think it's just that people seem to have a lack of literacy and awareness in our leadership...and for once, I'm not picking on Bush to that effect. Anyway, where are you at Howie? I was wondering about how people on Jawa were doing after the hurricane since I know for one that Gayrooster is near there. Did anyone in here get hit?

Yes Cindy and Michael the perfect couple are at it again (ugh mental image I wish I never had but this should help). What can I say but wheeew looney looney looney!!!!!!

Mark In Mexico has the goods on this latest moonbat mission.

Cindy Sheehan's post in the Michael Moore blog is an obvious attempt to place blame for the conditions in New Orleans and Algiers on George Bush. She drops the name of Malik Rahim as though he is backing up her accusations. It doesn't sound like Rahim agrees.

Also Mr. Right is struggling with his blog addiction as well. We know we can't leave it alone either.

Two of the Lodi terror suspects are up for bail. This is the third bail hearing they've been granted. In the first two hearings they were denied.

The Hayat's lawyers are arguing that the pair are not a threat to the community because they have not been charged with a violent crime. They have been charged only with lying on their immigrant forms. Which, of course, seems like a pretty non-violent and relatively minor crime.

What the lawyers fail to mention, though, is that the specific lie they are charged with denying that they ever supported violent jihad against the U.S. and never attended al Qaeda training camps. Nope, no threat here.

California mafia is covering the story extensively.

American Scott Parkin, a 36 year old history teacher and peace activist, is about to be deported from Australia because he has been deemed a 'security risk'. Isn't the real question, though, why we should take him back? What if Israel had done the right thing and deported Rachel Corrie? A lot fewer headaches, I'm sure. I was just thinking maybe we ought to start a few deportation hearings of our own........

BBC:

A US peace activist branded a threat to national security by Australia will not fight deportation, his lawyer has said. Scott Parkin will take legal action against officials to find out why they decided he was a security risk, his lawyer Julian Burnside added.

Mr Parkin was arrested following a Sydney protest against US military contractor Halliburton, a firm with close ties to the Bush administration...

Australian Attorney General Philip Ruddock told national television that the decision "was based upon a security assessment and security assessments are not matters about which I can comment in any detail".

While they ostensibly are a corporate watchdog group, Halliburton being their main cause, they are actually a radical Leftist organization. Their goals?

1. Halliburton out of Iraq-not the real target. The real target is the war in Iraq. Halliburton's absence, they believe, would force the U.S. out.

2. End the US wars for empire--they include Afghanistan in this definition as well as ALL wars.

3. De-Centralized community-based mobilization: Here's how they explain it. I swear, this could be an episode of South Park

We will help catalyze racially just, non-patriarchal, mass movements to challenge corporate and government power and create socially just, directly democratic, ecological, equitable, and peaceful alternatives

4. Normalize the use of Direct Action and Popular Education-No idea. Maybe they can teach each other the fourth and fifth stanzas of kumbaya. Just watch out. If you let a hippie drum circle get to big, pretty soon you'll have a full-blown music festival, and after that, well, chaos. more...

The most disturbing part of this Newsday article is not the way they fawn over Cindy Sheehan-lite, Adele Welte, or that they seem to lift parts of her story word-for-word from Code Pink's website. The real disturbing part of this story is that they don't question when Mrs. Welte mentions her 'humanitarian project' of helping medical personel 'sneak across the border' from Jordan into Iraq. Sneak across the border? As in, the Iraqi government doesn't want us there helping the terrorists freedom-fighters, so we have to sneak in.

Why is Newsday's reporting so anti-American? Getting both sides of the story does not qualify as non-partisan reporting. Parties do not go to war, nations do. The nation is at war.

Reporting the other side is reporting the enemy's side. Just because the enemy happens to have domestic allies does not make the story any less sympathetic to the enemy. When you let the assumptions of the enemy go unchallenged you have bought into their world view.

For instance, imagine a war protester during WWII repeating Germany's justification for aggression: Germany had to invade Poland to protect Germans suffering under the boot of Polish occupation in Danzig and the Polish corridor.

Any reporter that didn't blink twice at that statement has bought into a core assumption of the enemy.

Another example. What if a New York newspaper during WWII had let a former member of the German-American Bund--the pro-Nazi front--repeat what he had heard from German citizens about the brutality of the Polish troops on Germans in Danzig? The facts which were in turn learned from Joseph Geobels propaganda machine in the German press?

For instance, Adele Welte says:

Their [her Jordanian friends]accounts of some American soldiers' brutality haunted her.

What is it that drives people to believe the very worst about their own country and yet be so gullible as to believe the very best about our enemies?

I'm sorry. I feel nothing but contempt for Mrs. Welte and those who use their personal stories to attack the United States of America and our fighting men and women abroad. She is a member of the fifth column in the United States no different than the handful of German-Americans who wished our defeat in WWII. She is a traitor.

Can you imagine the media during the 1940s acutually interviewing a member of the German-American Bund who had lost a son in Pearl Harbor and letting them get away with this? Moreover, can you imagine that if any such interview was done that the newspaper article would not have been sprinkled with phrases like traitor, betrayal, Quisling, and Benedict Arnold?

There were people like Cindy Sheehan and Adele Welte around during WWII. Only, they were in jail.

2 Oh the poor litte insurgents got kicked in the teeth by American boots. What a shame. These people need to read Jawa so they can see what the enemy is really like.

3 They are disgusting, but so are those who egg them on. During the Viietnam War, we began to turn a blind eye to those giving aid and comfort to the enemy. This seems to have started a trend which needs to be reversed.

4 If things were reversed, Adele Welte and her kind would have their throats slit on video and broadcast all over the internet.

This news is so stunning that I actually didn't believe it when I first read it. But I went and checked it out for myself and it's true. Planned Parenthood is using Hurricane Katrina as a fundraising event for itself. That's right, they've stooped that low. On the front page of their website (plannedparenthood.com or plannedparenthood.org, I'm not going to link to them), they have a link stating "Help Those Affected by the Hurricane." Well, that would be great if that's what they planned on doing. But when you get to the page where you can make a donation, you find the following information:

100% of your tax-deductible contribution will go directly to helping Planned Parenthood affiliates and health centers in this region

That's right, folks. In the guise of helping the hurricane victims, they are raising funds to be used strictly for themselves. Never mind that people need food, shelter, clothing, etc. These idiots are only concerned that they have to rebuild their abortion mills. I didn't think I could be any more disgusted than I already am with them, but they have managed it.

The two attached screen shots show the web pages in question, just in case PP tries to take them down and deny what they were doing.

Thanks to LifeNews.com for breaking this story.

If ever there was a bad idea worse than this, I haven't heard of it. Hey, let's get the ACLU down to Cuba so they can advise the detainees that they have the right to remain silent! Remember, it was a detainee in Iraq, presumably who hadn't been read the Miranda warning, who gave up the location of Roy Hallums.

WND:

According to these sources, the ACLU lawyers advised the majority of the prisoners that they did not have to answer questions from military interrogators.

“It’s as if they were shoplifters in the U.S.,” said one source. “The lawyers may have left by now, but the damage is done. We’re sending guys down to interrogate on taxpayer’s dime for absolutely no reason now.”

Apparently, the Pentagon believes the presence of ACLU lawyers at Guantanamo will help persuade the world it can give suspected terrorists a fair trial. The ACLU has been at the forefront of allegations of abuse of prisoners.

Hat tip to Jay Stop the ACLU who has more commentary.

It seems that lately I've been taking a lot of shots at the New York Times. But when someone paints a bullseye 10 stories tall on themselves, it's kind of hard to resist. And the Times seems to enjoy associating itself with all sorts of disreputable idiots who feel no need to report facts.

In the case of Maureen Dowd today, I'm not even sure it's fair to call this an opinion piece. Speculation piece might be closer the target. Wild, drug induced, toxic fantasies would probably be just about on target. Of course Maureen, like every other looney liberal out there, is trying to find someone to blame for her perfect nanny state of New Orleans falling apart so horribly. After all, it couldn't have been the existing liberal social policy that caused the widespread violence and theft. The lack of law enforcement before all of this began surely couldn't have contributed to the rapes and murders that went on during the disaster. And lack of planning and action by the people who were actually in charge, the state and local government, wouldn't have had ANYTHING to do with the number of dead.

No, in Maureen's world, the fault lies with Dick Cheney. It's because he went on vacation and bought a house. Or maybe it's because he was late showing up. It's kind of hard to tell what exactly Maureen is trying to get at with her first paragraph. more...

It seems that Randi Rhodes, the notorious Air America host is up to her old tricks of inciting violence. This time, instead of making kill Bush "jokes," she is telling her listeners in hurricane ravaged areas to go looting. And that when they do, they should skip discount stores like Wal-Mart and go directly to higher end stores so they can get some quality stuff.

First brought to my attention from Amawalk John at Conservative Friends, this has also been reported at WorldNet Daily and NRO's "The Corner."

Now, I realize that these are lefties we are talking about, but if her listeners have one shred of decency, they should call for her immediate firing. Her show seems to have no reedeming value and no purpose except to incite hatred and violence towards people who disagree with you. And yes, I know, the first thing I'll hear is "what about Rush?" Well, in all my time listening to Rush, I've never heard him say we should do anything illegal or incite violence against a party or an individual. Only that you were idiots. And it's not against the law to speak the truth.
