According to Sidney Blumenthal's new book on Clinton, just one moment after being sworn in for the second time as President, Clinton's bible toting wife turned to him and said, "They're going to screw you on the Paula Jones case."
Either this is another Blumenthal lie, or the Clinton's are the most demented people on earth.Sterling, Massachusettsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3864567.post-935268742003-04-30T08:35:00.000-04:002003-04-30T08:39:25.000-04:00The Hawash Scandal: What Do Photos Mean?
As I peruse Left-leaning, Bush-hating, Ashcroft-vilifying Blog sites, it is interesting to note that they chose to show this particular photo of Maher Hawash. It is the one that shows him as the average joe:
These same Bloggers NEVER show this next photo. The face of Maher that so worried his neighbors following 9/11 that they called the FBI. It was Sterling, Massachusettsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3864567.post-934673532003-04-29T10:38:00.000-04:002003-04-30T08:28:39.000-04:00

I'm pretty surprised that Blogger/writer Andrew Sullivan has just now discovered that there is a conservative, non-Libertarian wing to the Republican party. Andrew, have you read the papers over the last twenty years? This is not a secret and I am surprised that you are surprised.

The newspapers this weekend were loaded with stories identifying many "skeptical Iraqis". Not only were they skeptical, some were even "very" skeptical. They were skeptical of the United States' "intentions". Skeptical of our dedication to "a free Iraq". Skeptical of our use of their "oil wealth". They wanted to know if we would stay around long enough to "fix Sterling, Massachusettsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3864567.post-927971642003-04-17T16:14:00.000-04:002003-04-17T16:42:06.000-04:00For Our Dead: No to EU, No to UN
So, now that the blood of Americans has barely dried on the streets of Baghdad, Umm Qasr, Nasiriya and many other cities and towns of Iraq, the delicate elites of the UN and EU wish to give the United States suggestions on how to be a good world citizen in Iraq.

AT AN AIR BASE IN KUWAIT, 16 April 2003 — People are curious about being embedded in the Marines. This is my effort to set the record straight. Some readers suspect I was subjected to propaganda while living with these men and women. There was no propaganda campaign. If there had been, there would have been no embeds.

Please don't take this as Monday morning quarterbacking, folks. These are errors that annoyed me the very moment they happened and were not deduced as errors with the benefit of hindsight. They are not so much military errors as they are PR errors with regards to playing the "expectations game".

Lots of attention on the Internet about Intel engineer Mike Hawash who is now in custody as a material witness (witness to what, I don't know). Hawash is a Palestinian but has been an American citizen for 15 years. He is getting alot of high-level support from the likes of Intel executives and Oregon's legislative contingent.
