Oh, let's not demean their creativity, by suggesting
that This crew is 'interchangeable' with any junta in our history, OK?
Credit where due, and all that praise with faint damn stuff.
I mean.. it takes real Chutzpah to choreograph a first-ever SOLO unilateral invasion, with one's intel coming from a separate-from-Govmint internal squad, entirely replacing all that routine Official stuff with ... [whichever 'data' makes it all come out My Way]
(Not that much of those details will come out for a generation or so, if ever - I mean, Nixon forgot to burn the tapes. Karl would never forget.)
But, nice try at fair n'balanced "they're all the same", One More Time.

Methinks thou dost miss the difference between the employment of, manipulation of vague inferences that Uncle Joe will nuke you in your beds? unless - you pass This ___ expensive and futile Anti-anti-missile-missile for our Mega-Death Industries Consortium (And next year -- we go after the anti-anti-anti version: we must be the Be$t at this 100% Security project.)
AND
Employing with premeditation, specific-while-Bogus reasons as one's propaganda campaign: for taking precipitate action, unaided by traditional allies, disdainful of international consequences, unprepared for anything beyond the first hour in the capital city, ignorant of the Tar Baby assuredly always There, Big-as-Life - er, yada to #137 on list.
So.. cute, but insufficient. Disingenuous, even.
(The Domino Theory proved bogus, maybe too - but it was Sincerely held - and it was sooo Cute, to boot. That's enough for Muricans to salivate, we see. Cute - hair or theory.)

Re: Y'all are funny
When is the last time anybody else owned all three branches of government? They are doing what they want because they can and nobody can stop them. They have sufficient power that rules and ethics do not apply to them. That's pretty specific to the Republicans.
The Democrats probably would if they could, but they've never had the chance. As far as I can see, the only thing seperating Democrats from Republicans is ineptness.
In the past there has been checks and balances. Now there are none and it shows.

here, this will make you feel better
Ah, the good old days Here's the story: In the early 1980s, while Bill Clinton was serving as governor of Arkansas, his administration awarded a contract to Health Management Associates to provide medical care to the state's prisoners. The president of the company was, naturally, a long-time friend and political ally of Clinton and was later appointed by him to the Arkansas Industrial Development Commission. Later, he was among the senior members of Clinton's 1990 gubernatorial re-election team.
As part of the deal HMA struck with Arkansas, in addition to treating the prisoners, the company collected their blood and sold it. Because of the exploding AIDS crisis, U.S. regulations didn't permit the sale of prisoners' blood within the country. But HMA found a willing buyer in Montreal, which brokered a deal with Connaught, a Toronto blood-fractionator, which didn't know the source of the supplies. The blood was distributed throughout Canada by the Red Cross. Sales continued until 1983, when HMA revealed that some of the plasma might be contaminated with the AIDS virus and hepatitis. The blood was also peddled overseas.
Now the lid has been blown off this scandal by Michael Galster, who conducted orthopedic clinics in the Arkansas prison system during the period the blood was collected.
Galster charges HMA officials knew the blood was tainted as they sold it to Canada and a half-dozen other foreign countries. He also alleges that Clinton knew of the scheme and likely benefited from it financially.
"We now have solid evidence he not only knew about it, but he signed off on it," Galster told the Calgary Sun.
Galster says Clinton organized a payoff plan to various officials, including a judge, to make sure the blood sales continued. He claims millions were made from the conspiracy because between 5,000 and 8,000 units of blood were shipped every week from one prison alone. He has eyewitness reports that inmates were even drawing blood from each other with dirty needles. nope no murder here thanx, bill "the reason people don't buy conspiracy theories is that they think conspiracy means everyone is on the same program. Thats not how it works. Everybody has a different program. They just all want the same guy dead. Socrates was a gadfly, but I bet he took time out to screw somebodies wife" Gus Vitelli

So then, you take this article to be the last word on these massively disgusting allegations? My Gramma did that a lot, too. It fed her need for a daily Fix, to keep the bile flowing.
Why then, has there been no lawsuit for damages?
If they have this alleged (Christian Certainty-grade?) Proof - what's this "story" doing Only in the, what was it.. Ohhhh Yeahhhh, Galster told the Calgary Sun.
Migawd, THE CALGARY SUN has an EXCLUSIVE!
Next step can only be: a Grand Jury, I wot.
Now then, what do we hear from world/Kristol-net daily or the 700 Club?
Betcha got 100 similarly documented Hilary tales, but then Hallowe'en is over for another year.

Hmmm.. reductio AND My Gramma - priceless.
(I thought you were a Christian, not a Jesuit)
Ken Starr meet John Ashcroft and Mr. Calvin; a wacko is a wacko.
As to the Repo mindset - 'conspiracy' is too vague a word for a Belief by this faction, that it must ensure that it retains power indefinitely (as in uninterruptedly) by any means possible.. Even if its plurality is only a percent or two.
Guaranteed polarization, followed by eventual blood - if that pendumum gets stopped-up with dirty tricks. Nothing in the known universe could survive with >8 years of Repo plundering - look what's been pissed away in only 4. (Who needs a pandemic of bugs - we've got Cheney in charge.)
Clinton was benign as a fluffy bunny compared to the PNAC cabal.

They aren't a nice bunch
but this is a progression that has been allowed to continue since Carter and BC's years in office laid the foundation for these idiots to make it worse. No respect, no oversight and the complete expectation that >this is how things work in Washington<.
The only way it changes is if more than half of the people that vote understand that its NOT supposed to be like this. I'm not gonna hold my breath.

Some newspaper columnists at the time said it could jeopardize his reelection. Two longtime friends of Clinton's were embroiled in the mess: Leonard Dunn, a former Pine Bluff banker and now chief of staff for Lt. Gov. Winthrop Rockefeller, served as HMA's president; and Richard Mays, a Little Rock lawyer, judge and Clinton ally, was hired in 1985 as an "ombudsman," an ill-defined position that was supposedly created to help bring the prison medical system into compliance with state standards. The exact payment Mays received, or what his duties were, was never established, and became the subject of a state police investigation because of allegations that it was actually a "bribe" paid to a Clinton supporter to allow the program to continue. gotta start paying attention thanx, bill "the reason people don't buy conspiracy theories is that they think conspiracy means everyone is on the same program.
