Bill Clinton to be special UN envoy to Haiti PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti - The U.N. will name Bill Clinton its special envoy to Haiti, his spokesman said Monday, in a move that could capitalize on the ex-president's years of involvement with the impoverished nation to burnish the interantional body's image there. An official announcement is expected from U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon on Tuesday, Clinton spokesman Matt McKenna said. U.N. peacekeepers have provided the only real security in Haiti since 2004, and are helping training the country's under-equipped national police force to retake control eventually. But protesters and some Haitian lawmakers denounce the international troops as an occupation force and have called for them to leave. Clinton himself is popular among many of Haiti's poor, however, for using the threat of military force to oust a dictatorship in 1994. U.S. Army troops and Marines then quickly arrived to pave the way for the return of elected President Jean-Bertrand Aristide, who had been deposed in a coup.... http://www.comcast.net/articles/news-wo ... l.Clinton/ |

I'm glad to see Clinton's talents being utilized, but I hope to hell we don't get involved in a war there. I think our plate is pretty full already. |

Your lame attempt at humor just shows we can add homophobia to your list of character flaws. Why is it that you whacked out conservatives are so juvenile that you think a person's sexual orientation is a subject to be ridiculed? |

So sayeth the U of C grad, educated far beyond his intelligence, who, with characteristic lack of originality, suggested putting a running garden hose through someone's mail slot and placing a potato in the exhaust pipe of the same person's car*. *Totally fourth-grade level pranks hundreds of thousands of guys claim to have pulled, but never really did. |

Again and again, sparkles, you prove yourself to be unclear on the concept. It is not your sexual orientation that is being ridiculed – it is you who is being ridiculed. |

We accept that human beings will always be subject to temptation, and we define character by how well a person resists those temptations. We look, but we don't touch – as opposed to the ‘anything goes as long as I’m happy’ liberal lifestyle, where any temptation is seen as an invitation to indulge oneself, no matter who is hurt in the process. |

I do believe it was you who claimed "....enjoys a cape and high heels...." and you had your buddy Admin/markh delete the entire post...lie out of that one.
