...Does anyone out there believe that, if the same events were unfolding in, say, Iraq or Libya, the crew wouldn't have become "hostages" days ago? Had the spy ("reconnaissance"?) plane been forced down in North Korea, we as a nation would have long since gone to our closets and updated those old T-shirts of Mickey Mouse giving the Ayatollah the finger. What separates a "hostage" from a "serviceman" is, apparently his or her captor's ability to put up a fair fight, to buy a lot of Coca-Cola and to supply us with bargain-priced sneakers...
...plainly, Rich appears to have purchased his presidential pardon. Even more disturbing, he bought his freedom with money made betraying our country. As outraged Representative Chris Cox (R-Calif.) said on the house floor, "Mr. Rich traded with Libya when we had the embargo, he traded with Iran when we had U.S. hostages being held captive, and he traded with Iraq during the 12 years when we had our conflict." The ultimate backscratcher set free the ultimate traitor...
...brothers. Hugh isn't the only family member to disgrace a President (not even the only one in the Clinton family). Donald Nixon had shady business dealings. Billy Carter lobbied for Libya and peddled Billy Beer. The hard-drinking Sam Houston Johnson was practically kept under White House arrest by L.B.J. Roger Clinton, a mediocre musician and sometime actor (playing "Mayor Bubba" in Pumpkinhead II: Blood Wings), lived up to his bad-brother billing recently by abusing a nightclub bouncer and getting arrested for drunk driving--all after receiving a presidential pardon himself. He also submitted his own list...
...Congo survive. There is a great risk that the Congo will split. We have no means to supply troops or send materials. We are waiting for the big powers, or the U.N. Security Council, to send troops. Some African countries have the means, like South Africa, Egypt, Nigeria, Algeria, Libya, but they are not together. If they came together in the Union, they would help the others. We are doing a lot in mediation, but it is not very effective. You need quick action. Look what the Europeans did in Kosovo. They intervened quickly and saved the situation. We cannot...
This has really created a problem. We can't achieve any progress in economic development. To give you an example, in north Africa, we have a steel factory in Libya, another in Egypt, another one in Algeria, but they are all losing money. Why not have one that will be successful? Colonel Ghaddafi started thinking, "Why not try again to achieve African unity?" The reaction of the African heads of state was quite amazing...
