9/13    So glad Clinton is not in office, but of course this being the CSUA
        populated by liberal beatnicks I wont have most people agreeing
        with me. It's so ha-ha that Clinton is stuck in Australia unable
        to come back to make his grandstanding photo-op with an intern.
        \_ It's amazing what idiocy or lack of maturity many CSUA
           Republicans show in this thread, particularly during a
           time like this.
        \_ They brainwashed you good.
           \_ Pluz! Albright, Berger, and Cohen were the most incompetent
              leaders. They cut short the career of a fine officer (Clark)
              because they didn't want to piss off the Russians. They
              hamstringed the military much like LBJ did in Nam during
              Kosovo. Powell, Rice, and Rumsfeld are all veterans, who are
              doing their 2nd tour of Washington already.
              \_ Kosovo? You mean that place that the Republicans said we
                 should never be involved in? The place where the military
                 was gonna put in Apaches until they realized they had no
                 way to retrieve lost pilots? Powell? The guy who recommended
                 stopping the Gulf war before destroying the core of Iraqi
                 military? Rice? The lady whose speciality is SOVIET politics
                 and whose advice made Bush look like an idiot in Europe?
                 Rumsfeld? The one who is pushing for missle defense despite
                 the fact no one has developed a VIABLE system yet?
                 \_ I agree these guys are second string. I'd feel a whole
                    lot safer if Weinberger, MacFarlane et. al. were in the
                    WH, but I'd take who we've got now over Clinton's team
                    any day.
                    \_ Wasn't he the guy who assumed the role of the
                       president ahead of the House speaker and the
                       President pro-tempre?
                       \_ how quickly we forget our history - you are talking
                          about General Alexander Haig, former deputy NSA
                          and Chief of staff under Nixon, and secofstate under
                          reagan when he was shot and claimed he was Prez
                          \_ Haig was pretty bad ass.
                    \_ Yes, they did so well in getting Marines killed in
                       Lebanon and selling arms to the Iranians and Iraqis.
                       Anyone want a Stinger I Missle complete with Afghani
                       Anyone want a Stinger I Missle complete with Afgani
                       Anyone want a Stinger I Missle complete with Afganhi
                       instructions? Crap on military planes, but swell on
                       passenger ones.
                       \_ I guess you missed the part about a free poland,
                          the fall of the berlin wall and the utter and
                          total destruction of soviet communism. Zero Option
                          was a total success.
                       passenger planes.
        \_ if Clinton had still been in office, Bin Laden would have simply
           bribed him with lots of young women.
           \_ I prefer Double D's, one for each hand, in case anyone is
              interested in bribing me. - Bill C.
        \_ I agree with you. Clinton/Gore would have been a disaster, they'd
           be calling Sharon and telling me hand over Jerusalem and calling
           Saddam and telling him the sanctions are gone and he can invade
           which ever nation he wanted. The talk would be of "understanding"
           and our arrogance.
           \_ I think he'd invite bin Laden to a summit with all the western
              world's leaders at the top of the U.N. building.
              \_ I prefer the Playboy Mansion to the UN building. Those
                 little bunnies sure are cute. - Bill C.
           \_ Garbage.  Clinton stood up to Milosevic and spanked his arse,
              unlike Republican weenies.  Clinton is my hero!
              \_ He's my hero too, and he's really good at spanking ass!
                 - Monica L.
                 \_ Spanking your ass with his what?
                    \_ If I didn't tell Linda, why should I tell you
                       what my president spanks me with? - Monica
                 \_ I did not spank that woman. Monica Lewinsky. - Bill C
                    \_ Can you spank me tonight Mr. Pres.? I've been a
                       very bad girl. - Monica
              \_ Yeah, while his adamant refusal to send in ground forces
                 allowed Milosevic to kill and displace pretty near every
                 ethnic Albanian in the country.  Way to go Bill.
                 \_ Who cares about the damned Albanians? They breed like rats.
        \_ Man, you Clinton/Gore haters really do need to get a life. In
           the face of tragedy, you turn it into petty politics.
              \_ I prefer the Playboy Mansion to the UN building. - Bill C.
