Palestinian Authority Demands U.S. Free Abu Abbas


Does anybody feel the need to comply, especially in light of the may Palestinian violations, if this is true?


What you failed to mention is that Israel and Palestine signed it too. But then some people will blame Clinton for everything. Lets remember, who let this guy go back in 1985? Yes, it was the Italians. They let him go free.

Anyway, if you think this is ammo to crap on Clinton, wait until Bush is out of office and see the effects of Bush's "diplomacy" in about 5 years or so. Whats that saying? "You reap what you sow."

Yup 5 years after Bush is out of office, u will see most of those piss ant 3rd world dictatorships in the mid east finally fall in with the rest of the civilized world!!!!

What for creating the biggest deficit in history by his insatiable military spending? Only now to be surpassed by Bush Jr? Don't tell me you believe the BS that Reagan somehow was responsible for the implosion of the Soviet Union.

Clinton will be remembered for residing over a presidency of unsurpassed prosperity, progressive enviromental policies, international support, and actually having a surplus, which was all squandered by this administration. Only thing Republicans will remember Clinton by is his relationship with Monica and ignore everything else.


Bush and Bush Jr vs Clinton

Yup, by the fiscal reforms of the previous admin. I worked on Wall Street during the boom and BUST. I seem to remember clinton being in office when the NASDAQ had it's biggest down day ever. Hmmmm.
Let's not forget being handed osama on a silver platter a few times, but turning him down!

My wasn't that an informative contribution to the discussion. Dolt!:disgust:

Just a question to you posters that despise Clinton. I've noticed that quite a few of you seem to immediately ignore anything that comes from someone who dislikes Bush, and consider that to be the main reason why people are against the Iraq war or the current administrations policies. So, if that is the case, how is it any different when you same guys go on and on about Clinton? Should we just immediately ignore everything posted by these members just because their positions just boil down to a hate for Clinton? Isn't that a double standard? Just curious?

I don't hate Clinton. He certainly wasn't the worst president, I think that status belongs to someone like Taft or Jackson. Then again, he isn't far behind those guys.

I dislike him because in his 8 years, he managed to blunder more things than any president in recent memory. I think 10 years from now, those looking back objectively will see him for what he was: A charasmatic President, intelligent, who did more harm than good in the 8 years he was given.

People who hate Bush haven't given him a chance. He has been in office barely 3 years, and has presided over one of the most tumultuous times this country has seen since Vietnam. He got screwed over by the Tech crash, the WTC incident, and a bunch of morons in florida who couldn't figure out how to work a punch-card.

His circumstances haven't been the best, but what he's managed to do despite that is admirable.

What happened Jimbo? I thought you said if Bozo gives you a source, he'll get a source. Well you were given a source at the Whitehouse and EPA websites. Where's your source?

Sure, I could blow you off by calling you an ignorant suck-up tool fishing for an Elite badge to justify your existence with your pithy yet witless posts, but a certain "Elite" would here be offended. That is his gig.

Bye! :)

And that person would NOT be you.
That was NOT cited by wizardLRU.

wizardLRU felt that I should be the one to use google to justify his argument.

Doh!

Environmental policy (or lack therof) aside, I rate Bush's performance in office as tolerable. Historians 20-30 years from now will have a much clearer perspective on the Bush/Clinton/Bush administrations. Still, I hope the Democrats can come up with someone who isn't a complete jackass to run in 2004 (Mondale, Dukakis, and Gore were pretty sad).

Back on topic, if Abu Abbas has committed any crimes after the accord was signed, then his exemption is not valid. I'm sure we can find (or at least trump up) something recent to steer around that clause.

I'll be willing to concede on the environmental front - But at the same time, I believe that with our current economy, it's one of those issues that may need to be temporarily neglected. When the economy rights itself, then that can be fully addressed.

I personally think the following should be the first steps (in no specific order, because they all need to be done at the same time):

1. Offer large tax incentives on high-mileage hybrids/diesels. Give them a similar amount back that businesses have been recieving for purcahsing SUVs due to the current tax loophole.
2. Close the "truck under 5,000 lbs" tax loophole for businesses.
3. Take steps to encourage development of nuclear power plants. The less reliant we are on coal, the better.
4. Open up ANWAR. Even the EPA believes that the impact on the environment would be next to nothing, as the area needed for drilling is only 2% of the entire refuge, and current drilling techniques are much cleaner than those done in the 70's for the current oil systems. And anyone who has read the studies knows that the Caribou population in the area actually INCREASED since then, despite the so-called polluting "drilling".
5. Direct the proposed Fuel-Cell money towards the infrastructure research and development. The car companies can handle developing the engine technology, but shouldn't be concerned with developing the delivery systems.
