We didn't start this war, Assad did, when he bombed his own people.
That was President Barack Obama at a joint press conference with French President Francois Hollande back in November of 2015. If that didn't ring a bell, it should have. The claim that "Saddam gassed the Kurds" was one of the propaganda points that the Bush team hammered repeatedly in 2002 during the run-up to the Iraq war. US Senator Hillary Clinton made the same claim during her speech supporting the AUMF on October 10, 2002. If it seems like the Neocons in both political parties are using the same playbook, it's because they are.
Warning: Potential Triggers
Rebecca Schoenkopf, on the Democratic blog Wonkette, has published an article suggesting that Juanita Broaddrick's rape allegations against Bill Clinton, dating back to 1979, may in fact be true. As Schoenkopf writes:
Her friends found her with bruised lips, crying, right after the rape allegedly occurred. That’s what we call “contemporaneous evidence” when we believe women.
I can absolutely see Bill Clinton doing this (then, not now) and not even thinking of it as rape, but thinking of it as dominant, alpha sex. I can see a LOT of men doing that during that time period, before we started telling them in the ’80s, “hey, that is rape, do not do that.” I can see YOUR NICE GRANDPA doing that, back then.
Reading these quotes, you might be tempted to ask: Does Schoenkopf reconsider her support for the Clintons? Failing that, does she at least change her attitude towards Bill Clinton? The answer, alas, is no. Instead, we get a lecture on how good men can commit rape and should not be stigmatized for it.
My Gut Reaction: Hey, at least he's not a "serial rapist" who "hates women and wants to punish them." He's just a nice grandpa type of rapist.
Here's the back-drop for the on-going saga -- about how much "private business" can someone conduct, when acting {off-line and through back-channels} in the capacity of one of America's most powerful "public servants" ...

"Because of National Security" really doesn't explain his suddenly Top-Secret globe-hopping. Bill was well helping Hill -- or so outward appearance would make it seem.
is marked by the wrong presuppositions.
Take for instance Steven W. Thrasher's piece in the Guardian, "If Hillary Clinton loses in November, it won't be Bernie Sanders' fault." Both the piece and its author are sympathetic, or at least it can be said that I am convinced that Thrasher is one of the good guys. However...
stuff like this here:
The year-long investigation is expected to conclude in the coming weeks, though it could take longer, leaving open the probability it will cast a shadow over Clinton as she accepts the Democratic Party’s nomination for president in Philadelphia this month and launches her general election campaign against Republican Donald Trump.
Today, Shaun King posted on Facebook the following:
"5 different people have confirmed that Bill Clinton spoke with Donald Trump right before Trump launched his campaign. Bill actually called Donald.
This should disturb you.
