#1 Does Clinton WANT WWIII!?

#2 Hey, if he can't be president during a war, he'll bloody well set the stage for one!

Someone needs to carefully take Clinton aside, calmly explain to him that he's no longer in office, and then break his knee caps so he gets the point.

#3 Desperate Attempt #572 at rewriting "the Legacy" and the Nobel Peace Prize

#4 Yes, by all means. Let's set Kimmy up with a nice package, let him stabilize his regime so he can starve, rape, imprison, and torture his people to his little heart's content without all those pesky "running the government" issues.

Was this idiot really our president? Did I vote for this moron? Move over, Seafarious, I have some head-pounding to do too. Consider it penitence.

#6 ââI think we ought to offer them a mega deal. Help with food, help with energy, help with becoming a self-sustaining economy... in return for total access to all the labs, all the sites, taking the plutonium rods out of North Korea altogether,ââ Clinton told a business forum in Hong Kong.

Who gives a rat's ass what Clinton thinks? He made one agreement that NK didn't honor, so now what? Another Clinton-style bargain? No thanks. The "rewards" of the previous agreement are still being reaped.

Jerkoff.

#7 Hey Clinton! Want me to give you something? The finger, not my vote! ..!..

#8 My questions:

1) Do we go into NKor and distribute food under Kimmies nose? Does he propose we should trust the UN to do that? Or do we just call it for what it is - nuclear blackmail.

2) Would it not be better (albeit more harsh) to let them starve themselves into a revolution and throw kim out on their own.

3) If #2 above is not feasible, is it an even bet he'd trigger something off with ROK?

4) Or, do we just ignore him as another half-witted dictator?

5) Or, as soon as Iraq is more manageble in the next 18 mos, do we turn to beefing up Skor & beating the sh*t outta kimmie?

Any of you guys - please feel free to throw in some comments for me to chew on.

#9 ...and then break his knee caps so he gets the point.

I hear Tonya Harding's available (note to Clinton - I'm told she gives FANTASTIC oral).

#10 Jarhead, honestly I don't think an internal revolution is possible. Not unless it's the army the does the revolting. The people, from what I know, are too hungry, cold and afraid to fight. Kind of similar to how Saddam had the Iraqi's down. Also, I don't know if he'd pick a fight with SoK or not. Personally I am not so sure he does have a nuke. And I know I read something the other day that supported that, i'll look for the link. Personally, I think Kimmie is a bitch in dire need of some slapping. Not another war though, at least not right away. Surgical strike, take the bastard out and see what happens. Sure, probably end up with another bad guy in charge, but anybody other than Kimmie would be an improvement I think.

#11 Actually, the biggest flaw of the Agreed Framework was that the plutonium stayed in North Korea. If the plutonium rods were moved out of NKor, then Kim is as irrelevant as Burma or Zimbabwe.

North Korea only matters because of their nuclear weapons potential. We have be-turbanned fish to fry.

#12 This is not a job for little Bill. Call in the pros.

#13 I see... so the solution to the NK problem is to repeat past mistakes, but do it more spectacularly this time. Uh-huh.

What a clueless, farking idiot.

#15 "Hey everybody Lookit MEEEEEEE!!!! I'm Bill Clinton, you remember the one with more charisma than Bush (well at least according to me and the local gals at the local Tap)."

Egomania generally doesn't love company, can't figure why Bill would get all chummy and do a square for Lil' Kim.

#16 That worked so well when Clinton (and Carter) tried it in 1994.

#17 Seafarious and BH, move over, I get the numeric keypad.

#18 Sea, BH, SteveW... Instead of beating your head against the keyboard, why don't you do something that will REALLY help? Get an old fashioned punching bag and a pair of bag gloves. Consider the bag WillieJ, and let the fists fly. You'll be amazed at how much better you feel after a half-hour or so. You'll also be much more physically fit to do it in reality if you ever get the chance - and the inclination.

In the meantime, I think everyone should boycott the Clintons: don't buy their books, don't go to their meetings, and do your utmost to erase them from your lives. Maybe in a century or two they'll get the message and go away...
