I just checked this to be sure, and “AfPak” definitely stands for Afghanistan and Pakistan. It’s the region in which we’re currently engaged in a hot war that we’re desperately trying not to lose. So – at least in……

Why should God protect us? We haven’t done a damned thing to protect ourselves from this pack of fascist leftists and idiot idealogues but we want God to save us from our miserable choices. I believe that God is waiting for some sign from us that we are humbled and contrite and willing to do battle for righteousness in His name. AP is excluded from this of course.

“Does either of the above instances represent how a competent, professional diplomat would behave?”

Would a competent, professional diplomat use the word “gettable”?

I’m a conservative. The only people to vote for McCain are the neo-liberals.

Which is interesting because, as a conservative, I thought my vote for McCain was in strict effort to keep Obama away from the White House. At least, as a conservative, I have on my conscience that my vote did the only thing mathematically consistent in said effort. Your vote, however, helped guarantee the vastly larger anti conservative win. Nice job…and thanks.

…and her husband spent eight years doing nothing to protect us from the likes of UBL or any other terrorists….glad she is able shed that guilt. What an administration of morons!!!!!! God protect us…

Her husband actually spent time getting the PC version of Islam implanted in our public schools.

I completely disagree. She was terrific. She talked straight.

So what you’re saying is that you don’t know what a diplomat is.

“I spent my entire eight years in the Senate opposing him,” she said to a burst of applause from the audience of several hundred students.

Liar.

They must really be totally devoid of ideas or anything else. Still the Bush-bashing campaign mode.

Diarrhea and sleeping pills: you’re gonna wake up to an unpleasant reality.

Sorry, couldn’t resist.

OmahaConservative: Funny you mention that,I swear,HilRod
is morphing into Madeline Albright,ahem,
hehe!:)

In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including al Qaeda members. It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons.”

Great quote MB4. Where did you find it?

She must be a very frustrated old woman. I wonder what she really wants to do or say?!?

PaCadle on October 29, 2009 at 8:34 PM

Maybe she wants to get close to Madeline Albright or Janet Reno, in the red pickup truck?

1. It looks like she was responding to a q. re: diff. btw bush & Obama, so of course she is going to draw some sharp contrasts

2. I don’t disagree w/ her on her charge that they know more a/b them’ terrorist thugs than they are willing to admit. So, let’s start calling them out.

Happy birthday hillster

As a way of repudiating past U.S. policies toward Pakistan, Clinton told the students “there is a huge difference” between the Obama administration’s approach and that of former President George W. Bush. “I spent my entire eight years in the Senate opposing him,”

Or…there aren’t that many differences at all and you opposed Bush and now support Obama on purely cynical political grounds and you’ve made a career of playing politics with our national security and lives of our troops.

In fact, I bet Hillary’s UMC upbringing is so fuzzy, she really believes Allah is the one true god.

PS As a Catholic I do not find it odd for a woman to cover her head in a place of worship, not sure why those MSMs like to note it as though Hill is kowtowing to Sharia or some shxt

Hillary ain’t Catholic or Lutheran. She is a MethoBaptiCostal at best. St. Paul’s letter to Corinth means diddly squat to her.
