- Seductive advice from New Labour's spiritual godfather
  Posted by Billbar from commentisfree.guardian.co.uk
  It was like watching a onetime champion racehorse come out for a midday canter. Bill Clinton barely broke a sweat as he effortlessly adlibbed a speech from a few notes, allowing himself a ramble around the course of global politics, ranging from Machiavelli to the wisdom of African folklore - and still wowing a Labour party audience that has come to embrace him as one of their own. They lapped up his attacks on George Bush, both explicit and implicit - not least his almost throwaway declaration that "we can't kill, jail or occupy all our enemies." When he explained that it was cheaper to give the children of the poorest countries access to clean water or free schooling than it was to fight a war - and that it would do a better job of preventing terrorism - his words were drowned in applause.

- Sen. Clinton disputes Rice's comments
  Posted by Billbar from Seattle Post-Intelligencer
  "I think my husband did a great job in demonstrating that Democrats are not going to take these attacks," Hillary Clinton said Tuesday. "I'm certain that if my husband and his national security team had been shown a classified report entitled 'Bin Laden Determined To Attack Inside the United States' he would have taken it more seriously than history suggests it was taken by our current president and his national security team."

- 2001 memo to Rice contradicts statements about Clinton, Pakistan
  Posted by Jeff from Rawstory
  Rice is Busted: However, RAW STORY has found that just five days after President George W. Bush was sworn into office, a memo from counter-terrorism expert Richard A. Clarke to Rice included the 2000 document, "Strategy for Eliminating the Threat from the Jihadist Networks of al-Qida: Status and Prospects." This document devotes over 2 of its 13 pages of material to specifically addressing strategies for securing Pakistan's cooperation in airstrikes against al Qaeda and the Taliban in Afghanistan.

- Rice says Clinton did not leave plans to fight al Qaeda
  Posted by Billbar from Reuters
  In a heated interview aired on "Fox News Sunday," former President Bill Clinton said he had "battle plans" drawn to go into Afghanistan, overthrow the Taliban and launch a full-scale search for bin Laden. "We were not left a comprehensive strategy to fight al Qaeda," Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said in a transcript of her comments released by the State Department. "For instance, big pieces were missing, like an approach to Pakistan that might work, because without Pakistan you weren't going to get Afghanistan," Rice said.

- Clinton Fights Back
  Posted by Jeff from dneiwert.blogspot.com
  Sara Robinson: It's tremendously important that Clinton argued back on the facts, and made them stick, even when Wallace kept trying to deflect him. But, in showing us his teeth -- and the white-hot fury that would no longer hold still for the bipartisan date-rape promised so long ago by Grover Norquist, and delivered daily ever since -- the Big Dog also took the whole country to school, and taught us a few things that we all need to remember going forward. Among the lessons:

Clinton backs Obama and bows out

Whew. She made me nervous there for a while. If she became president I would have became Austrailian.

He will probably pick a conservative democrat. Webb’s name has come up a few times.

I do not think he will even ask her. Why people think its as simple as pulling together their two groups of supporters is beyond me. Its much more complex, not to mention that he needs a more conservative voice to attract votes from McCain . . . I expect to see a caucasian male on the ticket . . . any guesses?

Does Barack really want Bill down the hall all day, peeking in and looking over his shoulder?
If Obama loses to McCain, Clinton can run again in 4 years while she is still young enough.

Clinton to Endorse Obama

And yet, there will continue to be a large number of her votership claiming to speak for everyone when they insist they’ll never vote for that "empty suit"/"inadequate black man"/"socialist" – no matter how much reconciling she does now (which I honestly doubt will be much).

Clinton Kennedy Assassination Reference: Raises Bobby's Death To Explain Why She Stays In Race

So which is it… the campaign or the supporters? And why drag mental health into the equation, when that’s clearly a very dangerous subject to raise given the behaviour HRC has exhibited could just as readily be attribued to psychological stresses of varying degrees?
