Subject: Remember When We Had a Real President?
We used to have a President who was the MASTER
of diplomacy. He could make an apology and
half the people thought it was sincere and the
other half would say it wasn't even an apology.
And he could make his split-hairs apology in such
a way that HE took all the criticism from
those he failed to please. The world
understood that if anyone lost face, it was him, not America.
The world could sometimes even laugh at him and
his apologies, but that didn't mean they lost respect
for America. HE took the heat, HE took
the criticism, and HE took the embarrassment, all the while
the people who hated him said he couldn't stand
up and take it like a man.
If this China incident happened when Bill Clinton
was president, he would have suffered minor indignities
himself in order to preserve international respect
for America and to gain the freedom of our service members.
W. is willing to let our service members be held
and the world to question
our judgment in order to maintain his own reputation.
Clinton was selfless in these situations; W. is
a spoiled baby who's going
to need his daddy to go to the neighbor's house
to get the ball back.

Dear Mr Cop,
I suspect you're not going to listen to a rational argument but...
You say IF Dateline did a hatchet job on Bush
then everyone you could think of would denounce it.
This is then followed with, "When those 38 people
attack Clinton and his cock, who does the rebuttal?"
Now, surely the point is that if Dateline fabricated
a story about Bush there would be something to defend,
but the allegations about Clinton were true,
therefore there was nothing TO defend.
I know being a liberal means turning off the logic but come on! ;-)

Simon, that's very weak.
Had you been at the last debate (partial transcripts available) you
would've seen
the last guy to shoot his mouth off about "all Clinton's crimes," get
his ass whooped.
When pinned down, the only "crime" he could come up with was Webster
Hubbell,
who was convicted of stealing from the Clintons.
I know you non-logic types love to say "Filegate" was a crime,
and "Travelgate" was a crime,
and "Vince Foster" was a murder, but Kenneth Starr says you're
dead wrong.

Subject: China
Bart as much as I hate Smirk, and think he is
a disaster as president,
why the macho bullshit that America should never
apologize?
I never said "America should never apologize."
I said we shouldn't apologize when we're innocent.
Why won't american's ever believe we could be
in the wrong?
As far as that guy who called Limbaugh saying
he'd rather rot in a Chinese prison
than have the U.S. apologize, well he's an idiot
and it's easy to say that and posture
when you're not actually in that situation.
I'll bet he'd feel differently if he were actually
held captive.
Anyway if it were me or a member of my family
I'd want the U.S. to apologize.
Screw national pride or any of that macho crap.
Aren't lives more important than saving face?
I guess it's a guy thing because I sure don't
understand the attitude.
What did we lose by apologizing?
I love your site and I agree with you most of
the time.
What we have done is tell the entire world that if you want America
to dance,
just grab a hostage and tell us what dance you want to see us do.
I've been offering examples, such as in war, if the enemy says,
"Stop bombing or we'll execute the POWs we've taken," we have to say
"Do what you gotta do," because we can't let another nation call the
tune.
Let me offer a flawed analogy: If a cop pulls over a bad guy
and the bad guy says,
"You stupid pig, if you write that ticket,
I'll find your house and kill your kids,"
should the cop still write the ticket?
After all, he's endangering his kids, right?
Shouldn't the cop back down, apologize, and let the bad guy drive away?
That's what Smirk just did - he let the bad guy drive away
If that scenario was on TV, the whole world will know you can beat up
the cops.
All you gotta do is threaten their kids, and now there's no more laws
in America.
Remember the Andy Griffith when the fruit stand burlyboys set up near
town?
Barney told them to move on, but they just laughed at him.
It became a showdown between the law and lawlessness.
Using your example, it's only fruit, right? Why take a stand?
But when they tell their buddies you can break laws in Mayberry, because
all you
gotta do is push the skinny cop and he'll run, then we have chaos.
That's what Smirk did - he turned tail and ran.
Now other countries know Smirk is a big pussy, and America, too.
This is much, much, much, much worse than losing 24 lives.
I am not wrong on this.
Doesn't it Figure?
When the "crisis" was Clinton's cock, it was every American's "right to know."
But when President Weak and Stupid presides over this massive
technology transfer
to the Chi-Comms, Rush, Hannity, Smirky and the media are allllllllllllllllllllllllllll
trying to sell us the idea of how we actually won this
stand-off and everything's OK?
That's horseshit!
Handing a sophisticated plane from the future to the enemyhas
to be 10,000 times
more important than Clinton's cock, but now we're supposed to
forgive and forget?
Whoa!
Hannity, subbing for the vulgar Pigboy just said,
"China got NOTHING out of this, absolutely NOTHING!"

Dude,
I'm with you about 99% of the time, but I think
you came down too hard on Vivian when you said:
"They were fighting a war, and they are soldiers
- some of our best. "
Truth is, there is no war, except the one that
Smirky et al. are trying to conjur up as a pretext
for vast increases in the military budget and
a blank check for the absurd Missile Defense.
They *need* an enemy, and the whole Repugnican
Party has been casting around for one since
the collapse of the Soviet bloc. The rest of
us most definitely do not need an enemy, and we most
definitely do not need a return to the Cold War
mentality. And these spy flights are a Cold War relic
that ought to be stopped. As others have pointed
out, any intelligence the flights gather can be
(and is) also obtained by other means. They are
a high-risk, low-reward deal.
Cary
Cary,
Sure, there's some semantics, but IF we were just "flying by,
minding our own business,"
The way President Weak and Stupid claims we were, and China
sent their military planes
to knock us out of the sky for no reason, by Koresh, that's a
act of war.
And let me tell you something about Vivian. She wrote:
Maybe you'd rather rot in a Chinese prison
than have your country apologize
to ensure your return. But that'd be stupid.
As a rule, when somebody comes at me with a personal attack, I tend
to launch.
Matter of fact I did, but before I hit "send," I scaled it back
some.

The answer to what the Chinese wanted and got
is easy.
They were worried about Taiwan getting Aegis

Smirk need to sell them to satisfy his defense
contractor buddies,
easy way out, give the Chinese the means to defeat
Aegis targeting.
The "spy plane" had the planets most advanced
electronic counter-measures technologies.
Problem solved, everyone (except the people)
get what they want.
Leon
Leon, good point. Last night on Larry King, I heard some total moron
from
the Brookings Institute claim this was a "win-win" situation for both

Let's see:
They got our technology,

and an apology from President Weak and Stupid.
Yeah, that's a BIG win for us.

Subject: The Heroes
I've been admiring your site from afar and decided
to get something off my chest.
The 24 people who donated that spy plane to China
are no more heroes than the
three "heroes" who were captured "prisoners of
war" in Bosnia a few years back.
They got lost hiking, and got snatched, and the
EMC2P41blah blah-flying flop
couldn't spy without getting knocked out of the
sky.
I understand what you're saying, but I'll give the bene of the doubt
to anyone
who puts on the uniform. Right now it appears the 24 screwed
up.
Once they're back on land, we'll have more facts, but maybe not the
truth.
Those men and women, who signed up for military
service know full well there were risks,
and should have ditched that plane in the South
China Sea and taken their chances.
Real spies should have cyanide tablets in their
flight suits so they can do the honorable thing.
I don't care that Bush kow-towed (remember that
one?) to China, he's a stupid fuck.
I don't like the fact that trained military soldiers,
including a Fightin' Texas Aggie, gave the
Chinese more secrets than Clinton could have
given if all the accusations from the cretins
on the right were accurate.
Dr. Bill
It seems certain President Weak and Stupid is guilty.
The 24 on the plane I'm not sure about.
If America had a press,
we'd know in a few days,
but we don't,
so we won't.

Sure, the stories were good, but it was Jill Hennesey

But then Jill left the show.
Who, I thought, could they get to replace this fabulous babe?
Well, they went and found an even hotter babe - a Bond girl - Carey Lowell.
Meow!
I'd pay $200 just to get Miranda from Carey Lowell.
(I had to crop the picture short so as not to show her breast.
Koresh knows us liberal Democrats can't stand the sight

But, like Jill Hennesey, she wanted to move on.
I knew it would be really tough to replace Carey Lowell.
Who could be mas fina than Carey Lowell?
They found 'em a Dallas girl - Angie Harmon.
Whoa!
The Queen of Depraved Indifference!
But, now Angie is leaving the show, too.

I've been wondering for some time about the "warm-fuzzying"

Nobody is forced to join, and they explain the
rules when you sign up.
I'll bet that landing that plane ANYWHERE was
in direct violation of standing orders.
They were supposed to go down with the plane.

but they don't win wars.
And they make your dick look limp.

Anne
Anne, I'm all for apologizing if we were in the wrong, but President
Weak and Stupid
says that's not the case. He says our plane was hijacked, then apologized
to the hijacker.
Never trust a wartime deserter.
Carefully read the following news release describing the meat of the US apology :
'' The first draft of a U.S. letter included
the word "regret," but the Chinese wanted more, said the official.
By last Thursday evening
Washington time, the word "sorry" was added to the letter, and by Saturday
evening
Washington time, the
words "very sorry" were added.
'' The administration, in the letter presented
to the Chinese Wednesday, said it was "very sorry" about the
loss of life in the
collision, and "very sorry" the plane entered Chinese airspace and landed
on Chinese
territory without "verbal
clearance." ''
What is being spun by the Whitehouse and the whore press is that the US apologized for two things :
1) the loss of life of the Chinese pilot
2) that the EP-3 entered Chinese airspace
to make an emergency landing
But, the actual wording apologizes for _three_ separate items :
1) the loss of life of the Chinese pilot
2) that the EP-3 entered Chinese airspace
3) that the EP-3 made an emergency landing
without clearance
Also to be noted, the wording, as expressed in
Chinese, is not "very" sorry, it is "double sorry."
In cultural context, double sorry implies expressing
sorrow for a personal transgression
committed against the party being apologized
to.
The English transition being reported implies
we have apologized for nothing (especially as being spun
by the Whitehouse and lapped up by the press
like pigboy at a slop trough). The actual Chinese version
of the wording acknowledges an American transgression
and expresses contrition at having committed
an offense against the Chinese people.

Subject: AIR RULES
Since I served in the Army
Air Corps in WW11 until today, any time a
plane with mechanical trouble or due to a flight
plan change wanted to land at
any air field we were required to call the field
and request permission to land.
Because of many interfering
conditions which the pilots have no knowledge of,
permission from the tower to land was required.
Some times if the request was not
an emergency, permission was denied for reasons
unknown to the pilot.
The pilot was then either put
in a holding pattern to land later or directed to another airfield.
Even though our plane was in an emergency condition,
the pilot still should have called the
airfield telling them that they had an emergency
and asked permission for an emergency landing.
I'm glad that it's almost over
now that our troops are on their way to US soil.
But we should still acknowledge the rules of
the air, which I feel applies even to Communist countries.

Vivian,
Those 24 people wren't high school kids being held by a deranged NRA
member.
They were fighting a war, and they are soldiers - some of our
best.
The reason the men and women of military are so respected is they have
made the decision
and the committment to put their life on the line. They are fighting
for their country.
Remember World War II?
What if Japan threatened to kill a POW if we continued bombing Tokyo?
Should we have turned tail and ran?
Is that one life worth more than the entire war?
Should we have "forgotten" about Pearl Harbor to save one life?
Don't you think the thousands of men who have died for their country
would
"rather" be alive, with their families? That's almost insulting, the
way you put that.
It's easy to be a pacifist when someone else is dying to keep you safe.
