    It all looks so selective.
    The Times pursues Clinton because they find it great fun, but it sure doesn't seem like they have went Bush's questionable deals or Halliburton or Cheney or the real reason for the Iraq war.
    As a matter of fact they were one of the war's biggest cheerleaders.
    When Rumsfield was shaking hands with Saddam, did the Times roll out an article about the Republicans support of him?
    The liberal media, hard at work again.
    And not supporting the war is undercutting American foreign policy.
    So do you support the cannon fodder approach or do you support withdrawl?
    Remember the wrong answer gets you a traitor label and a lengthy stay in Gitmo?
    Oh, don't like Gitmo? That's American foreign policy as well.
    Traitor.

    Be very afraid Americans. If you vote for Hillary you'll have to endure endless pseudo scandals along with your peace and prosperity.

    Doc, your reaching to discredit the Clintons and promote your guy is ... um ... reaching ... um ... 1990s-like Jets NFL draft proportions.

    Tone it down a tad, bro.

    Whitewater.

    Swift Boats.

    Kazakhgate
     

  5. As the clips I posted back on Page One prove, Doc, the administration is perfectly fine with Nurabayev. They had "concerns" about his fitness to hold one minor UN post, but that was as far as it went. The idea that what Clinton said contradicted US foreign policy is laughable and the NYT should be ashamed for promoting it. US foreign policy is to invite Nurabayev to the White House and to use him as an ally in the Great Clash Of Civlization.
    This story is bogus at its core.

    I'm not sure I understand the point. It's not the Times that is doing the dirty work here. Behind the scenes, someone spoon-fed this story to the Times. It's a plant.

    Considering the myriad of dictators our presidents have supported in the past and present, unfortunately, this is hardly news.

    Seems like the Times is reaching on this one anyways.

    For all you Obama supporters finally realizing that the Clintons are and always have been crooked, welcome to the party. You're 16 years late.

  11. Everyone who voted for Bush in 2004 supported a dictator. What's the big fucking deal?
