Hezbollah to withdraw fighters in Beirut; 12 die in clash
There goes a man of peace... The peace Israel's former Prime Minister Sharon likes. I have just finished reading David Hirst's fantastic history of the Middle East: "The Gun and the Olive Branch" - second hand from Amazon. A great learning experience.

To Government had a choice: resign and flee, or rescind the decrees. To 'save face' it passed the decree for 'interpretation' and action by the Lebanese Army. The latter, obviously more caring for Lebanon that the US-Sponsored government, all but annulled them. posted 05/10/2008 at 23:53:15
If the US administration and Israel kept out of Lebanon that country would have been in a much better state than it is now. That despite the fact that at every turn.
One cannot separate what the US administration and Israel are doing now from the miserable performance of Israel's army in the summer of 2006, and its earlier one in 2000.
Will they succeed? May be. But so far they evidently are not. It certainly seems that Hizbullah enjoys considerable popular support, not only while fighting Israel's incursions, but against their US-sponsored (stronger than backed) government. One only needs to skim through British newspapers to size up the size of tghe humiliating defeat of the intentions of the administration and Israel.
And yes, when the 'liberals' are not schizophrenic. They do NOT want the US to be embroiled in adventures that does not concern the people of the US - starting with Iraq and ending with Venezuela. posted 05/10/2008 at 23:44:23

Hezbollah, Sunni Groups Battling In Beirut Streets
Lebanon is not the business of the US administration. They have been playing their cards there for sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo long, according to the Guardian, the Independent, and even The Times.

Media Jump Ship From Obama To Clinton
Sure!
That is why many will stay at home rather than vote for the disruptor of the new hope and the dream that many Americans hoped will become a reality.

Hillary Clinton Ad Features Osama Bin Laden: Campaign AdWatch
It reached the stage when the tactics of the Clinton campaign is simply beneath contempt.
Senator Clinton seems to be under the impression that some will vote for her if she won the nomination. With these tactics, many will stay at home.
This is a distinct possibility I am now beginning to consider. I can fight McCain's policies, but I cannot deal with a President who will be no different from our current Congress - using my party affiliation to keep me quiet while doling out what the Republicans want... Not unlike the famous 'Don't ask , don't tell' or the 'Welfare Reform' of the former president, and the Senator's accomplice in this disgusting electioneering maneuvers. posted 04/21/2008 at 14:32:30

Bill Clinton Suggests Young Voters Too Easily Fooled
The former President should try to control himself. He certainly does not belong to America's present or future. As to America's past, one has to believe Senator Obama when he says that our frustration dates back before President George W. Bush took power. It dates back to the Republican Revolution that took place during the Clinton years... while the President was busy attending to other matters than those of state. To the 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' defeat, to a Healthcare reform promised in the "first 100 days" of the Clinton presidency.... and above all for taking the money from the poor and welfare recipients, and saving it in the form of (funny) budget surpluses for President George W. Bush to hand it over th rich... to which the former President, according to his tax return appears to belong, too.
Of course there were other frustrations. From several frustrating and painful events, one can remember when an arms embargo was placed on Herzegovina... while Serbia was getting its war supplies from Yeltsin, in Russia... and the thousands who were murdered in cold blood there!!
Yes, President Clinton: I am frustrated, and have been for 12 years... And so are my kids! So, please leave us alone, if you don't mind! posted 04/16/2008 at 02:25:34

Lieberman: Good Question To Ask If Obama Is A Marxist
Senator Lieberman thoughts belongs to the waste paper basket of history... Why are we listening to this turn-coat and bothered by him? I would have thought he is a spent cartridge ready for to be put to grass. I doubt if even the Republican Party, having used him for whatever he is worth, would give him a stable space.

Obama's Not Running For Sociologist-In-Chief
There is absolutely nothing wrong with what he said. And indeed, as a President, if he does not have the sociologist turn of mind, as well as other insights, he would be OUT OF TOUCH.
One is appalled not by the illiteracy of those who ostensibly took offense, but by the Clintons and their effort to dumb the people of PA, and push through their heads that they should be insulted.
I don;t think I would have much respect for the people of the United States if they elected such a complicitous couple - who obviosuly are ready to trample upon the self-same American people to get to the Presidency.

An Issue of Legitimacy and Democracy
But where were such voices when the Florida and Michigan Democrats refused to adhere to the decisions of the DNC and opted, with a clear vision of the consequences, to have early Primaries?
This 'heartbreaking plea' to count the vote of the Democrats in both states come so late and at a time when Senator Clinton needs these illegal votes to give her a modicum of a chance to win the nomination.
Given that the writer is a Clinton supporter, I am not surprised. BUT: to hide behind a slogan like "An Issue of Legitimacy and Democracy" is pathetic, disingenuous and sadly, typical of the Clinton campaign utterances.
The Democratic voters will not be deprived their vote in November - and that is what matters. They opted, willingly to walk away from the Party rules, and they have, as it is, forfeited their right to select the Party's nominee - PERIOD.
If they want to recant and do so now, then a full swing round of hustings and primaries are required. Money for fighters for 'Legitimacy and Democracy' should be no object! posted 04/06/2008 at 23:39:29

Iran Confirms Role In Brokering Iraq Truce
Incredible. Iran has more say in Iraq than the US 155,000 troops and an estimated at 200,000 'civilian contractors.'
Time to call it a day, and hand over the keys to Iran. It certainly can keep order better than the US can - even after the US engaged the Basra insurgents from the air and with at least 500 troops - according to NPR this morning.
Not only did we screw up the occupation, but we helped the enemy of the adminsitration and its allies in the region.

Clinton-Backer Nutter: Media Covers Race With "Double Standard"
This is really incredible.
The fact that Senator Obama is black was used AGAINST him. It was never acknowledged as an 'Historic opportunity."
The keynote of Nutter's contribution is not really a rebuke of the press. It is an attempt to make the lection of a woman more glaring. In itself this is fine, only to ELECT HER BECAUSE SHE IS A WOMAN is reverse sexism which invariably backfires.
May be Nutter is Senator Clinton's Reverend Wright?
At any rate, it would be nice to have a woman president - although it seems it would be at the cost of maintaing our system EXACTLY as it is, with two-headed president lording it along with their Princess.

So, along this line: The New York Senator downgrades Martin Luther King to a mere street demonstrator. When the Obama Campaign point to the racial content of such a vision of Rev. King, they turn round and accuse the Obama campaign of bringing race to the table.
This is so underhand, and so deceitful - and so recurrent!

Senator Clinton's candidacy is reveling in controversy of the Clinton's own making, and problems of their own design. The best they can do, for the sake those who believed the President once is: get off our backs. Go somewhere else. posted 03/26/2008 at 17:48:40
Reid: "Things Are Being Done" To End Dem Primary Before Convention
Because according to the rules, she has no chance of winning the nomination - and she now is a threat to the Party. Very simple.
If she does not move on, she will pay a heavy political price - in fact it would end her political
career!
Incidentally, contrary to rumors emanating from certain quarters, she does not own the Democratic party! posted 03/25/2008 at 21:17:51

Hitchens: Obama Sold Out His Grandmother
When he was drunk and disorderly one excused his outlandish behavior and far-fetched confused political opinion, for some wit, a little wit, although at times, no wit at all.
But what is his excuse now? A fear of saying that he likes somebody? Anybody? or is it the fact that he probably did not read the speech?
Either way, he is getting awfully boring. If one wanted to be really cruel one would wish he would consider hiding behind a bottle but, no, just give up, please! posted 03/26/2008 at 12:37:23

Carville Compares Richardson Endorsement To Biblical Betrayal
"Loyalty in politics"?
Loyalty in politics is the source of all corruption. Such loyalty is usually offered for rewards and patronage which almost always lead to transgression of the will of the people.
Are we running a Friendship Club in our Congress?
Would I want my representative to vote for the War in Iraq out of 'loyalty' to another representative?
The corruption in our political life must have reached the stage when failure to play the game in the usual corrupt way appears to some a dishonorable act!
The only loyalty a politician should have (and we know this is not true) is to his electorate - right?

This is typical of the Clinton Campaign.
First the former president, whose reputation must now be totally muddied by his utterances, states in so many words: "Let the fight for the Presidency be between the two who love America, Hillary and McCain."
This prompted one of Senator Obama senior aids to respond stating that it reminded him of the McCarthy days, essentially because McCarthy accused honest, hardworking and mostly very talented people of being "Un-American."
To give the former President's outrageous statement more air and space, they are now asking for an apology - this will help the message of the former President to reach deeper and be established... After all the statement is no longer the problem, it is the accusation of McCarthyism that is - ergo: "Senator Obama does not love America."
For my money, these tactics are those of a bunch who do not love the American people!

It seems to me Senator Clinton is waging two campaign, with the help of former President Clinton and a bunch of very aggressive supporters. The first, against Senator Obama seems to have almost equal weight to the second, the one to win the nomination of the Democratic Party.

How Will Hillary's Bosnia "Whopper" Play in the Media?
Would former President Clinton accept the title: "Honorary Life President of the United States" or some such, and let go of the 2008 election before McCain jump into the seat?

Royal Highness is an address of a Prince or Princess of the realm.
In this case, proper etiquette suggests: Her Majesty.
Indeed, the full title of the royal couple would be:
Her Majesty Queen Hillary of the Tayolrs and His Royal Highness, Prince William, the Duke of Arkansas.
Forget about this 'Marsh' thing. It sounds to plebeian.

Another Bill Clinton Moment On The Campaign Trail
It depends on the measure you use for Patriotism.
President George W. Bush believes he is a patriot!
Former president Clinton obviously believes tat he, his wife and Senator McCain are Patriots.
Richard M. Nixon though himself to be a patriot when he lied and lied to the American people and help bringing about the death of 5.8 Million Vietnamese and 45,000 Americans.
Franklin Roosevelt thought himself to be a patriot when he saved the nation through his New Deal
Harry S. Truman who in cold blood killed 200,000 Japanese while asleep in bed with his nuclear bombs... thinks himself a patriot!
Does not this suggest that Patriotism is not a reasonable measure for a a good or a bad President?

I am really astounded by this typical response of a supporter of Senator Clinton.
Over the past four months, the Senator, her strident husband, or her campaign, attacks, normally personally, and gets hit back by sometimes facts, sometimes patience and facts.
That you hit under the belt when it fits and take the hig road when it does not is so childish it borders on the infantile.
No two persons (as the Richardson's endorsement demonstrates) disagree about the inevitable role Senator Clinton will find herself playing if she persists. But then, the story in England is that she will be P{resident McCain VP? I doubt it. But she and her wild Bill are certainly giving that impression to the world! posted 03/22/2008 at 15:33:57

That is why the one wants to throw it into another 100 year war and the other spent most of his presidency either in the Oval Office or with wings broken defending what he was doing in the Oval Office.
Yet, at least former President Clinton should have had the decency to respect the office he once occupied and refrain from imposing upon his once-admirers those cheap moment of despair, because their chance at a third-term are as remote as they appear today.

Meet The (White) Man Who Inspired Wright's Controversial Sermon
I hope you did read the book. I have just finished it.
For some, it may take sometime before they understand and apply what they have read on their own behavior... Although it is difficult, since everyone, as Bill Maher said, feels he is an exception to the "Typical White Man" in America.
Incidentally, insults do not endear you to readers or, as you probably know, make for an argument.
