I have suspected for months that Bush doesn't have the money or the troops to keep the lid on Iraq until November. Get ready- it's going to be a bumpy ride.
Of course, let us not forget, it's all the Democrats' fault.
Is this story being covered in the MSM at all?
How long until Chuckles Krauthammer apologizes?
Jesus.
OT: Clashes between US-backed Iraqi security forces and fighters from the Mahdi Army of Shia leader Muqtada al-Sadr have spread from Basra to a number of other cities, including the capital.
At least 25 people were reported killed in the heavy fighting on Tuesday and salvoes of rockets were reportedly fired on Baghdad's Green Zone.
The Shia armed group had been demanding the release of its detained members.
As the violence broke out, al-Sadr issued a statement calling for demonstrations across the country and threatened "civil disobedience" if attacks by US and Iraqi forces on members of his movement continued.
"We demand that religious and political leaders intervene to stop the attacks on poor people," a statement read by Hazam al-Aaraji, an al-Sadr representative, said.
"We call on all Iraqis to launch protests across all the provinces. If the government does not respect these demands, the second step will be general civil disobedience in Baghdad and the Iraqi provinces."

Didn't Steve Gilliard refer to Moqtada al-Sadr as "the one who decides how long we stay in Iraq"?
In another unfortunate case of premature Iraq elation, the Wall Street Journal last week celebrated the decline and fall of Iraqi Shiite leader Moqtada Al-Sadr. Echoing the "bring 'em on" taunt of their former boss, ex-Bush advisers Dan Senor and Roman Martinez triumphantly asked "Whatever Happened to Moqtada?" But as the renewed turmoil in Baghdad and violent chaos in Basra suggest, the answer may be, "he's back."

But if actual dollar bills are such a small part of the money supply, then why not print up another few billion and hand them out?
leibniz♘☮
You can (but I'm not sure what your goal is here).
Money by definition has no value of its own - only what we collectively assign to it.
If you increase the money supply and the total number of goods and services stays the same, prices will rise to absorb the extra money ("inflation").
If you increase the amount of goods and services without increasing the money supply, prices go down ("deflation"). Deflation has a different set of problems than inflation, but they can be as bad or worse.
The goal of increasing the money supply is to prevent either from happening - i.e., to match increases in the money supply to growth in the economy. Since you can't do that perfectly in real time, most Central Banks set a "target rate of inflation."

Why there is trouble in Basara now…..http://leninology.blogspot.com/
Finally, and most importantly, the new provincial powers will help overcome long-running obstacles to a new oil law [pdf draft], just as Chevron are getting in on the act (any access to new oil fields "would require passage of the long-stalled oil law"). Essentially, the oil benchmark they seek would allow two thirds of Iraq's oil fields to be owned by US corporations. It would place executive decision-making power in a body, the Iraqi Federal Oil and Gas Council, which could include foreign oil companies. Iraqis overwhelmingly oppose these plans, and the Council of Representatives has consistently obstructed them on the grounds that they are too extreme. The US has used every manner of bribery and threat to try and get the law passed [pdf]. They need it to be passed now, and for Production Sharing Agreements to be developed across the board in order for the US to have long-term leverage over the oil. Even if the US permitted the oil to be developed and sold by non-US firms, their access would be dependent on the political authority of the US, and its ability to wield effective violence. The trouble is, even the occupiers' Iraqi allies can't be trusted with strong central power, as they demonstrated by inviting Ahmadinejad. Breaking up the power structure along sectarian lines while maintaing a nominal central government with weak legitimacy, depending on US troops for its self-defence and encased in a Xanadu-like unreality next to a mammoth US embassy is the best remedy for that. Now there is a Provincial Powers Law in preparation, which will define the relationship between the central government and the provinces. It has to be supported by the Council of Representatives and backed by the Presidency Committee (led by US ally Jalal Talabani) and so far it has not been. As Missing Links points out, these powers are the subject of extensive horse trading and are seen by the US authorities as a key means of gaining acquiescence among key allies for the oil law.
Now, here's the trouble. If the anti-federalist forces win the elections, succeed in generating a national civil disobedience campaign against the occupation, and form alliances to break down the sectarian partition including its geographical expressions - those walls that have cut through Baghdad regions against the will of the local populations - then the US will be facing a crisis just at the time when a domestic election could decisively shape the future direction of the war. The regional-sectarian war is thus a struggle over how the most important property forms in the 'New Iraq' will be elaborated and under whose political control. Bear in mind that oil has historically been the number one source of revenue in Iraq, reaching 90% of total revenues at one point, and will the basis upon which necessary imports are purchased and the regeneration and development of Iraq after two espe

Is it a uniquely American stupidity to believe that we can always "do something" about situations like Iraq?

Because the biggest problem is us, not them.

"Washington is now making the most ruthless use of its dollar hegemony against Iran. It just declared war on the entirety of Iran's banking system and will blackmail China, Europe, Japan, et al. to cut off Iran financially.
(1) the March 20 advisory [of the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, a unit within the US Treasury Department] represents a US declaration of war by sanctions on Iran and a sanctions threat to the international banking community, (2) the US has various unilateral financial sanctions measures at its command in the form of executive orders and Patriot Act Section 311 and (3) the BDA-North Korea sanctions were, at least in retrospect, a test run for Iran.
If the US succeeds, an international quarantine on Iran's banks would disrupt Iran's financial linkages with the world by blocking its ability to process cross-border payments for goods and services exported and imported. Without those linkages Iran is unlikely to be able to engage in global trade and commerce. As 30% of Iran's GDP in 2005 was imports of goods and services and 20% was non-oil exports (World Bank and other data), a large chunk of Iran's economy would shrivel up. The repercussions will be painful and extend well beyond lost business and profits. For example, treating curable illnesses will become difficult. According to an Iranian health ministry official, Iran produces 95% of its own medicines but most pharmaceutical-related raw materials are imported. (John McGlynn, "The March 20, 2008 US Declaration of War on Iran," MRZine, 24 March 200
Make no mistake: this economic war is a strategy pursued by both Democrats and Republicans, realists and adventurists alike: Daniel Dombey, "Senators Urge Formal Sanctions," Financial Times, 6 March 2008.
The dollar hegemony is declining (cf. Jeffrey Frankel, "The Euro Could Surpass the Dollar within Ten Years," Vox, 18 March 2008; Wolfgang Münchau, "This Crisis Could Bring the Euro Centre-stage," Financial Times, 23 March 200, but will it decline fast enough for the Iranians?
The ruling clerics of Iran are able leaders who have run their country with a surer hand than leftists would have, but this presents them with the greatest challenge since Saddam Hussein, backed by the West, invaded Iran -- perhaps even a greater challenge, since at least the richest third of Iranians are not made of the same stuff as those who made the revolution and defended Iran's sovereignty in the eight-year-long war."

'Oh, it will take more than that, because we already had this experience once, in Vietnam.'
I think we'll always be tempted by the shiny objects of empire until we actually try to annex more land and people. Iraq is dangerously close to meeting that standard -- in one sense that's the only way war supporters can go, rhetorically speaking. I really really hope we don't do that, but I wonder if the foreign policy "establishment" even paid attention to decolonization. I think most of them look at that whole period and think "if it were me, I could have done it better".

Not paying, really. And the situation you describe has been relatively common since WWII. Quite a few small nations still peg the value of the US Dollar instead of letting it float in the currency markets. Several others actually use the US Dollar or the Euro as their currency.

Maybe we could take some time off from complaining about 6% of the population deciding our election to notice that 100% will have a say in the nominee and we still may not have a nominee.

Really, when? When did the U.S. ever really lean into one of its NATO allies to ditch their colonies? In fact Portugal was a prime example of saying one thing and doing another; officials would talk about the need for change in the colonies but we'd still sell them "dual-use" technology for use in fighting the colonial wars. Same thing with South Africa in the 1980's. If anything, I think the Right side of the foreign policy establishment has long been envious of those governments.
yeah, but of the various other plans i've seen all have faults. it's an imperfect deal any way you design it, and people are always gonna be bitching.

I like some variation of a rotating deal. You're right, there's not a perfect way to do it.
This is one of the main problems with all religious extremists. The way they see it, if you die an infidel, then it doesn't matter, and if you are one of them when you die, then you'll go to paradise so that doesn't matter either. They don't really care about letting anyone live.

oh but we were humiliated, the Suez Crisis
the British didn't learn, like i said WW1 was the beginning of the end
for the Empire, heck it took till the 1960s before the British woke up
'Damage and neglect'? Where was that exactly? Which of the crown colonies, white settlement colonies, influence areas, administrative locations suffered so greatly?
'WW1 was the beginning of the end'.... Well yes. Because the Great War actually bankrupted the Empire. The treaties and national re-allocation and the transition of the major colonies from dependencies to independence further altered the profit sheet.... The Empire went from controlling 59% of the entire world economy (in 1913) to controlling perhaps 20% by the Second War. Colonies that do not contribute to the whole are too expensive to maintain, even on the Empire model of co-optation and self-government.

"But the best way to secure the homeland is to find the enemy wherever they try to hide and bring them to justice. (Applause.) The best way -- make no mistake about it. You should not be confused about the nature of the people we're dealing with. They hate us, because we're free. They hate the thought that Americans welcome all religions. They can't stand that thought. They hate the thought that we educate everybody. They hate our freedoms. They hate the fact that we hold each individual -- we dignify each individual. We believe in the dignity of every person. They can't stand that. "
Quite possibly the stupidest human being ever given a position of leadership, at any time in human history or at any level of human culture or organization.

Are those like the things he is doing to end the war.
911 has a lot ot do with american support of Israel as well.
Reuters:
Clouds of black smoke rose above Basra and explosions and gunfire could be heard throughout the day. Reuters Television pictures showed gunmen firing mortars in the street, while others drove around in captured Iraqi army and police vehicles.
The U.S. military, which once called the Mehdi Army the greatest threat to peace in Iraq, says the seven-month-old ceasefire is one of the main factors contributing to a 60 percent drop in violence in Iraq since last June.
But the militia has grown increasingly frustrated with the ceasefire, saying it is being abused by U.S. and Iraqi forces to make indiscriminate arrests. The U.S. military said on Tuesday it only targeted "rogue" members who have ignored the truce.
Uh huh.

'Respond accordingly? 911 is responding accordingly? TO WHAT?'
Years and years and decades of picking the wrong allies in the Middle East and generally meddling in an area of the world we don't understand and can't change. The Middle East has long been the plaything of foreign policy wanna-bes, people who think they know how the world works but lack any real knowledge about it. Our "experts" fall squarely into this category; they play at number games (like Rational Choice Theory) when it would be much easier (and much more useful) to simply study other people and cultures. That's one of the many lessons of empire -- you can't endlessly meddle in other people's affairs without getting stung.

"At least 31 people were killed and 88 wounded, according to police and hospital officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not supposed to release the information.
Associated Press Television News video showed smoke rising over Basra, and coalition jets prowling the skies while ambulances raced through the streets.
Iraqi police and soldiers prevented journalists from reaching the areas of heaviest fighting, and it was unclear which side had the upper hand by sundown."
It's not the heat of the snow, it's the humidity.

JPSO said he was hit by a .22-caliber bullet that they said could have come from as far away as a mile and a half. They said chances of being hit are one in 500 million. JPSO is not investigating this as a criminal case and said the tournament is not in any danger. Prudhomme continued cooking.

Chef Paul Prudhomme Shot, Not Seriously Hurt
Well-known Louisiana chef Paul Prudhomme has been shot at the Zurich Classic Golf Course near New Orleans. His condition does not appear to be serious.
WWL-TV in New Orleans reports the chef was involved in a cooking demonstration at the time. The television station reports that a stray bullet, possibly fired from more than a mile away, hit Prudhomme in the arm. Investigators do not believe Prudhomme was the target.
The golf course is on the west bank of New Orleans near a wooded area.
Prudhomme actually finished his cooking demonstration before getting medical attention, WWL-TV reported.

Not buying "roadstoiraq" 17 US Soldiers captured story. That Mehdi army is getting restive again - sure. They sucked before at fighting as an organized force and I guess we'll see now whether they have used the cease fire to get better at it or not.
They said in the blizzard of 78 that if it wasn't snow it would have been a hurricane. Now that doesn't really make any sense does it?
fool | 03.25.08 - 6:32 pm | #

The blizzard of 78 was a very intense winter storm parked itself out in the Atlantic off Massachusetts, with very high winds, huge seas, a storm surge and a nice cyclone shape. Sort of like a hurricane, but not a hurricane, which come from the warm ocean off northern Africa and move west betw. August and October.

{Iraqi oil up for grabs}
The Iraqis don't want to part with their oil?
The ingrates! After all we've done for them.
*Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari told the BBC: "Militias have taken over almost the city and law and order has collapsed, although it is not a hopeless case because the government is taking measures to reverse the situation.
I told you this was working, my friends.

was out with 8 yo son a couple weeks ago and a few of his pals. they (not me) brought up iraq and my son told his friend that iraq is "a fight about oil because if you get oil you can lots of money for it." the friend said "oh." i was sad and proud at the same time.

Maybe it just got sucked in to his gravitational field. (sorry)
It happens in New Orleans more often then you would thik possible. Once New Years a guy was killed, the next year a lady holding her baby was stading pretty much in the same spot, she took a bullet in the shoulder she didn't have the baby on.
When I lived there, there were billboards saying falling bullets kill.
And billboards that said thou shall not kill.
it is not a hopeless case because the government is taking measures to reverse the situation.
Like what? And if Prudhomme's skin was penetrated, then he was "shot."
You know who is to blame?
Lawrence of Arabia. He taught the arabs how to be terrorists.
Fuck, let's get serious and blame the Green Mountain Boys for inventing irregular combat against a vastly superior British Army.
Butler's well of stupidity is bottomless.
One of the fun things about warmongery is that it's possible to spin any event , development, or trend to justify the past, ratify the present, and project success predicated on pouring a staggering amount of resources into the enterprise for the indefinite future, using the same excellent methods that got us this far.
That infamous quote cited by Ron Suskind-- "We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality..."-- seems to accurately describe how Bush and McCain et al operate. They'll say whatever pops into their fucking heads at the moment, although they've been dutifully and comprehensively briefed and scripted and programmed by their handlers, like all politicians.
IMO, they're NOT dummies or automatons, which isn't to say that neurological impairments from alcohol-induced brain damage to Alzheimer's might not be in play. But they know that they're beyond accountability, and that a servile media and their fellow elites will accord them unconditional positive regard as long as they don't really screw up. And the goalposts for screwing up have been moved so far back they're not even visible from the stadium.
These monsters have monster egos in which they say whatever shit comes into their heads to return service in whatever Q&A or dialogue they're in. The fix is in, even if they flub or step on their pricks. Eventually the show's over and they leave, waving to a cheering crowd of sycophants.
And we all know how the checks and balances like "opposition parties" and "The Fourth Estate" are working out.

The Swamp Fox didn't invent guerrilla warfare. The first guy that refused to fight under the stronger army's rules invented guerrilla warfare. The English called Wallace a terrorist.

criminy, another mysterious die-off:
In what is one of the worst calamities to hit bat populations in the United States, on average 90 percent of the hibernating bats in four caves and mines in New York have died since last winter.
Wildlife biologists fear a significant die-off in about 15 caves and mines in New York, as well as at sites in Massachusetts and Vermont. Whatever is killing the bats leaves them unusually thin and, in some cases, dotted with a white fungus. Bat experts fear that what they call White Nose Syndrome may spell doom for several species that keep insect pests under control.
Researchers have yet to determine whether the bats are being killed by a virus, bacteria, toxin, environmental hazard, metabolic disorder or fungus. Some have been found with pneumonia, but that and the fungus are believed to be secondary symptoms.
“This is probably one of the strangest and most puzzling problems we have had with bats,” said Paul Cryan, a bat ecologist with the United States Geological Survey. “It’s really startling that we’ve not come up with a smoking gun yet.”
Merlin Tuttle, the president of Bat Conservation International, an education and research group in Austin, Tex., said: “So far as we can tell at this point, this may be the most serious threat to North American bats we’ve experienced in recorded history. “It definitely warrants immediate and careful attention.”

Since Cain attacked Able.
Muslims failed to conquer France because of the importance of looting in their culture and their lack of an organized system of looting; they were later stopped from the other end of Europe by various Eastern European cavalry traditions. Would "terrorism" have helped either situation? It seems like both cases cry out for very traditional centralized disciplined military order, nothing fourth generational about it.

Nope.
'Jäger were at first recruited in the mid-eighteenth century amongst huntsmen and foresters in certain German states. They were often of "middle class" backgrounds, or belonged to the lesser nobility. These troops were primarily used for reconnaissance, skirmishing or screening bodies of heavier troops. Since they owned their own weapons they could (in principle) fill a crucial defensive role as militia in case of surprise assaults before any mobilization had been ordered, or as organizers of partisan warfare after an occupation. Jäger were not just skilled riflemen, they were also able to handle and maintain delicate, accurate rifles in an age when very few people had any mechanical skill.
Jäger were often excellent snipers able to inflict heavy casualties among enemy officers. Their ability to lay exceptionally accurate rifle fire also made them good for providing covering fire for other more vulnerable troop types such as sappers or engineers constructing forward trenches.' WIKI

What I was thinking about the "damage and neglect" of the British with respect to some of their colonies was more along the lines of the shape the governmental structures were in when they left. The African colonies where political parties were based entirely on tribal lines, the nepotism corruption that runs through what should have been designed as independent professional service agencies. I'm not saying anyone else did any better mind you, and it could be argued that even with all of these failings things were better than they were. But, regardless, I admit to much ignorance in this and am grateful for the schooling from the likes of our very own historian.

Legitimately. The terror-bombing of Germany had as its express purpose the breaking of the popular will; its target was civilian morale, not any factory or installation. This was very expressly stated and subsequent analysis has shown it didn't work (especially with Germans, who feel persecuted upon waking and only get ornerier from there).

"The enemy must be chagrined. You know, first of all, I can't imagine what went through their mind when they attacked. I like to remind people they must have felt we were so materialistic and so self-absorbed and so weak and feeble, that all we would do would be to file a lawsuit. (Laughter and applause.)
"They thought we would grow weary. They thought we would tire. Man, are they wrong. This nation is united and strong. And it's important that we be patient and united and strong. Because there are still a lot of them out there. There just are, that's the reality. I deal with reality every day. But there's no cave deep enough for these people to hide in. You just need to know that."
Sometimes it just takes your breath away. Not Bush, the fact that this country "re-elected" him in 2004.

Annie you are so fucking stupid. We recently went through this thing with a scholar named Tyrrell about the historicity of chicks being able to wipe their own ass; while the lynchpin to his argument was laughably off, he enjoys genuine mastery over the subject matter he chose as a frame to his case and commands a better grasp of the material than a lot of other people. So you are not merely wrong. You are a fucking idiot with no mitigating positive attributes.
Darn! MSM is saying McStain is a conservative. Did you all know that? Hmmm. How many times did he agree on spending with Bush? How many times did he agree to make government reach bigger and bigger?

This is nothing more than a red herring. The Soviets had little problem leaving Afghan while facing a force heavily armed by the US. With the massive firepower the US has in Iraq, the notion that a withdrawal - precipitous or not - is laughable.

Bush has proven that if you constantly lie, the media doesn't object. Occasional lies starkly constrast and thus are punished.
In the opening scene, the prisoners play an energetic, cheerful game of "vaguely throw a ball around while squealing a lot," until one woman gets shanked, the guards bring in the fire hose, and wet smocks start falling open. Later, the nurse takes a break from lasciviously slurping runny raspberry pudding, and attempts to take Splendore's blood pressure by wrapping the cuff around her neck. When Splendore protests, the nurse sighs, "I guess I'm not ready yet to take anybody's blood pressure. You see, when I was a kid I always dreamt I would do it one day. Oh! My raspberry pudding! I forgot, I adore raspberry pudding!" This sort of silliness contrasts weirdly with a later scene where the escapees kill a woman, sexually assault her young boy, shoot her husband, and cut off his genitals to feed a barking dog.
bush isnt 5'11. thats his NBA height.
northern persia might make them azerjibani turks

Treasury Sec. Paulson says today that due to the retiring "baby boomers" Medicare will be in trouble by 2019 and SS by 2041.
Of course the baby boomer surge was known about back in 2000 and many urged doing something to reinforce Medicare and SS.
Instead Bushboy gave out over $1 trillion in tax cuts for the rich and then decided to invade Iraq, which will probably cost another $3 trillion. Those sums of money would have made both Medicare and SS solvent until the end of this century.
But the MSM won't mention it or refer to it or say anything about Bushboy's stupidity or culpability.

They don't say that Bushboy and the Goopers have done nothing to solve the problem and much to make it worse.
They don't highlight the fact that Medicare and SS need urgent attention as they do Obama's pastors remarks.
Obama's pastors remarks are about as important as a fucking mosquito bite. But it tittilates. It creates "controversey." It sells ads.
Informing the people about how derelict Bushboy has been with regard to their healthcare and retirement isn't "important news" to the scumbag MSM.

The fighting in Basra, where al-Sadr's followers maintain a strong presence, began before dawn in what the Iraqi government called an operation to win control of the city from militias and criminal gangs.
Nuri al-Maliki, Iraq's prime minister, was in the oil hub city to personally oversee the operation involving thousands of Iraqi troops.
Sheikh Ahmed al-Ali, a member of al-Sadr's office in Basra, said the group could not understand why Iraqi security forces had launched an operation against it.
"This ongoing operation in Basra appears to be security-related, while, in fact, it is a political one," he told Al Jazeera.
"The al-Sadr trend in Basra has frequently said that it supports the Iraqi government and the Iraqi forces in Basra.

How is it legal for Harold Ford to be on tv as the DLC head, when they are supposed to be a nonpartisan 501c3? They've already lost their status once to their partisan activities....hello IRS where are you?
ErinPDX
-----
Hi ErinPDX! I did a bunch of research on this last year. The head of the 501 c 3 needs to actually endorse a candidate IN THEIR ROLE as the head of the group.
Dobson was challenged on this so now right before he endorses someone he uses some weasel words like 'As a private citizen..." which is just bulls*t, but he doesn't cross "the bright line".
Also I found out that the IRS gives people ALL SORTS of chances to do the right thing. They send little warnings and allow people to issue corrections. That was how Dobson got away with keeping its status, not paying a fine AND still endorsing someone.
One thing the IRS study found is that most 501 c 3 are TOO apolitical because they are so afraid of running afoul of the IRS. So left wing non-profits actually stear clear of stuff that they could do because of a something that probably won't happen.
Why is everyone sniping at Hillary?

She said she was wrong and this will last probably another 3-5 days in the news cycle.
Yeah, no way the Republicans will bring it up if Hillary gets the nomination.

Can anyone remind me what Wright said that's so horrible?
It seemed to me he said God condemns racism & murder of innocent people.

The state of confusion.
Peasant Party,
The Bushboy regime has been sucking money out of SS and every other revenue source to pay for their wars.
They have been borrowing $200 billion/year from China and Japan to pay for their deficits.
And Bushboy has given out over $1 trillion in tax cuts to the rich.
I can't think of a more callous, depraved and incompetent management of America's money. And yet the moron still remains president and the MSM still refers to him as though he's someone worthy of respect or heeding.
Bushboy should be jailed for the larcenous embezzeler that he is.
"nader promotes all progressive issues; and he is reviled by democrats.

You better not hate Elias more than you hate me!
Hillary is truly your best chance against Mccain.
Sez the jackhole who pretends to be a woman.

Because it is a silly and irrelevant distraction from the issues of this campaign and is being wildly exaggerated. I can come up with an equally valid explanation that does not include a lie but a misspeak.

true dat
Today Harold Ford was labelled "DLC Chair" or some such, rather than as "ex-congressman Ford". I think DLC got in trouble for supporting Democrats in general, not for a specific candidate. Correntewire is where I first saw the story, done by Forbes.
Interesting stuff. IRS has finally issued better guidelines, but looks like a lot of them could give a g damn.

But they will.

Just ain't true. Sorry, she doesn't get a pass.

Ah. My mistake. I should have said leisurely, not casual.
she's either lying or just inventing stuff in her head, and neither of which are very flattering.

I suppose I could go through my old newstapes and check the other networks, and probably ITN's footage, to see it.
I've seen it. Both in 1996 and in repeats now.
For whatever reason, she added snipers as something she experience her during her visit to Tuzla, a city which didn't really have sniper problems during the war, never mind nearly 5 months into a peace.
You think that if the first lady and first daughter had been under sniper fire, or thought they were under sniper fire, that wouldn't have made the news then?
Anyone else see Congressadmiral Sestak turning himself inside out on Hardball this evening? That's what I call taking one for the team, when an intelligent person is willing to go out and make himself look like an ignorant asshole for his candidate.
you agree with the notion that Hillary Clinton would engender more hatred among Southern fascists than a black man?
Yes.
Have you been living in a cave for the past 15 years?
a 23 year-old woman is not a yourn girl, and she asked for it, nay, begged for it.
Young compared to Bill and his wife.
Not young compared to Chelsea.
So what if she asked & begged?
Did it show statesmanship, wisdom or decorum for poor, defenseless Bill to give in?
If anything, it should have been a worrying sign that perhaps he was being set up for black mail or other skullduggery.
Face the facts: The Clintons' main experience is lying and acting like Rethugs.
I hope she does run as McCain's VP, since it will only prove that her name should be Hillieberman!
The fact is she is running on her "experience" claiming she's been battle tested and in tense, dangerous situations.
You don't know that she didn't race to the car surrounded by agents who told her there was a sniper who took a shot.
Snow, the whole primary campaign is a disctraction.

Oh my.
This campaign has shown (much to my dismay) that cognitive dissonance is not just a rethuglican problem.
come on HRC supporters!!!! wake up - she's nutz!!!
one more 'postmodern' thought:
the video of hillary leisurely strolling across the bosnian tarmac doesn't show sniper activity thus proving that hillary clinton was correct in stating they had to run to the car under sniper fire.

They are rubbing off on U.
The American people of the 21st century have to be the most misinformed and most duped society in the history of the world.
The Goopers have been selling America "fiscal responsibility" while looting their retirement plans and sundering their medical insurance.
The Goopers have been selling "terrorism" so they can issue fat "defense" contracts to their favorite corporate donors, all of this is paid by the duped taxpayers.
And what do we have after $$$ trillions spent on weapons, armies, wars and so called intelligence? America is more vulnerable than ever.

Like I told you before, the state of reality, which is a bit different than your state of denial.
Let's just say significantly North of the Mason/Dixon line. (One can't be too careful with psychos like you on the loose.) On my street alone, I've spoken to numerous white Dems who have stated they would categorically never vote for an African American.
And you expect me to believe that Southern white _Republicans_ would rather vote for Obama?
Dude, try to get laid in Philly. It might clear your head.

Maybe her leisurely stroll was just 'grace under fire.'
That little "misspeak" was made in an effort to convince people that she's been tested "under fire", unlike Obama.
The catch of course is that it's totally bogus, and make her look desperate enough to tell a lie that is easily refuted.
She is toast.

Bushboy has done more damage to America than any president in history.
His insane Iraq war, his inane tax cuts for the rich, his fiscal incompetence, his scientific ignorance, his monumental corruption on behalf of corrupt corporations, all of this will leave a legacy of tens of thousands of needless deaths, the ruining of America's worldwide reputation and trillions of $$$ in debt.
If ever someone should be indicted and convicted of criminal incompetence and depraved indifference to the welfare of the American people, it's Bushboy!
I should add, Hillary, do the right thing, not what Ralph Nader would do.

My own frustration is when members of our team elect to play for the other side. In sales, one should always secure the current customers before looking for new ones. One would think that our side would have the power to persuade HRC to vote against handing bush another loaded gun (Iran) than a Gordon Smith, R, OR.
