Does Bill know about castrati Syd Blumenthal?

BULLY BOY PRESS &   CEDRIC'S BIG MIX -- THE KOOL AID TABLE

CRANKY CLINTON SAID SHE HAS "ALWAYS ALWAYS" TRIED TO TELL THE TRUTH.

SO SHE'S JUST AN ALL AROUND FAILURE.

NOT EVEN HER ALTERNATE VAGINA SYD BLUMENTHAL CAN GHOST-WRITE ENOUGH COPY TO MAKE HER LOOK GOOD.

REACHED FOR COMMENT, SYD TOLD THESE REPORTERS, "I REGRET THAT I HAVE BUT TWO ORIFICES TO GIVE FOR MY QUEEN."



FROM THE TCI WIRE:

Which brings us to The Clinton Foundation.


Iraq War cheerleader Matty Y has a stupid article where he whines that Colin Powell and Hillary Clinton were treated differently.  Bob Moobs Somerby rushes in to nurse Matty Y and insist it is because Hillary's a Democrat.

I'm so sick of what may be whoring and/or binary thinking.

It's either/or with this undereducated crowd who think they know something and never have known a damn thing.

Again, Bob, you're welcome.  I'm glad I taught you about narrative so that you can finally stop embarrassing yourself in that regard.  You are welcome.

But you're still too much of an idiot.

What's the difference between Hillary and Colin?

It's not political.

It's not even race.

Colin is a retired general.

Sandy Berger is a disgraced pundit for what he did (smuggling out documents in his underwear).  David Petraeus is someone the press still rushes to prop up -- despite his handing over classified documents to his mistress.

What's the difference?

It's not gender.

It's not race.

It has nothing to do with politics.

It has everything to do with the media's worship of the military.

I don't worship, sorry.

Colin's never gotten a pass here.

But I am aware of his efforts to whitewash War Crimes in Vietnam and am aware that his ugly record goes back very far.

And that the media has refused to challenge him and instead applauded him.

Does that surprise you?

Only if you're uneducated.

In 1961, Dwight Eisenhower gave his farewell as president in a speech citing the military industrial complex and the damage it could do.


This did not lead to a continued series of journalistic exposes from major news outlets.

Instead, they turned their heads, averted their eyes and largely acted as though Eisenhower had beeen speaking of the Military-Industrial Commission of the USSR.

Equally true, Colin never ran for president -- which demands a higher level of scrutiny.

The media's failing yet again as they play talking heads about whether or not Hillary Clinton broke the law with regards to her actions as Secretary of State and The Clinton Foundation.

She broke her promise -- that's what she broke.

And, yes, it does matter.

She agreed to certain things to be Secretary of State.

Barack Obama did not say, "Now, Hillary, you can't break the law."

It was assumed that, like every American, she was already expected to obey the law.

What she promised was to avoid even the appearance of a conflict of interest.

Because of the importance of the position, her actions had to rise to that level.

She agreed to that.

She failed to honor it and -- looking at her actions -- it's clear she never intended to.

She's unethical.

She may have broken the law as well -- nothing so far demonstrates she did.

But she is unethical and that's demonstrated by the shady deals and dealings she engaged in.

That is also on no one but herself.

She was expected to meet a certain standard and she did not.

Begla and Carville and all the other whores can lie about the great work The Clinton Foundation does (it doesn't -- and Chelsea's salary alone as a board member would outrage most Americans -- and, yes, Bob, you're welcome on my explaining/correcting you on the fact that board members draw a salary -- what an idiot Bob Somerby is.)

That's not the issue.

Even illegality is not the issue.

She signed a document promising to avoid even the appearance of a conflict of interest.

She knew what was expected of her and she agreed to it and then she refused to honor it.

That's unethical.

    You paid for it

    BULLY BOY PRESS &   CEDRIC'S BIG MIX -- THE KOOL AID TABLE


    DO YOU SIT ON THE BOARD OF THE CLINTON FOUNDATION?


    MAYBE YOU SHOULD.

    YOU PAID FOR IT.

    AND MAYBE IF YOU SAT ON IT, LIKE CHELSEA, YOU'D GET A $900,000 YEARLY PAY OUT TOO?


    FROM THE TCI WIRE:




    Handing children guns -- the topic of a question raised in Wednesday's US State Dept press briefing moderated by spokesperson John Kirby.


    QUESTION: Human Rights Watch says Iraqi Government-backed militias have recruited children in preparation for an offensive to drive ISIL from Mosul. They call on the Iraqi Government to take action to demobilize child soldiers. Has the U.S. raised the issue with the Iraqi Government or are you going – aware of the issue?


    MR KIRBY: I’m not aware of that report. Obviously, we would strongly condemn the use of children as soldiers in any armed conflict, but I’m not aware that – of this particular report.


    First, let's inform you of what Kirby couldn't -- takes a lot of time to curl those lashes, doesn't it, John?


    Earlier this week, Human Rights Watch issued an alert which opened:

    Iraqi government-backed militias have recruited children from at least one displaced persons camp in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq to fight against Islamic State forces. All security forces and armed groups should abide by international law and demobilize any fighters under age 18.
      Witnesses and relatives told Human Rights Watch that two tribal militias (Hashad al-Asha`ri) recruited as fighters at least seven children from the Debaga camp on August 14, 2016, and drove them to a town closer to Mosul, where Iraqi Security Forces (ISF) are preparing for an offensive to drive the Islamic State, also known as ISIS, from the city. The Hashad al-Asha`ri, made up of local Sunni fighters, are expected to play a key role in Mosul military operations, while the government may order the mainly Shia militias of the Popular Mobilization Forces to stay out of the Mosul fighting.
    “The recruitment of children as fighters for the Mosul operation should be a warning sign for the Iraqi government,” said Bill Van Esveld, senior children’s rights researcher. “The government and its foreign allies need to take action now, or children are going to be fighting on both sides in Mosul.”
      Human Rights Watch has documented that ISIS has extensively recruited and deployed children in its forces.
    Debaga camp, 40 kilometers south of Erbil, currently houses over 35,000 people displaced in the fighting between government forces and ISIS. Two people living in the camp since March told Human Rights Watch that at least two militia groups engaged in the fighting against ISIS are entirely made up of camp residents. They said that these two militias, commanded by Sheikh Nishwan al-Jabouri and by Maghdad al-Sabawy, the son of the recently deceased commander Fares al-Sabawy, have been recruiting from the camp for months. Their trucks have been arriving empty, and driving away filled with men, and in some cases, boys.

    The two camp residents said that two very large trucks arrived in the evening of August 14 and took away about 250 new recruits, at least 7 of them under age 18, to join Sheikh al-Jabouri’s forces. Witnesses and other camp residents said that all the men and boys volunteered to join the militias. An aid worker who was on the road saw the two trucks heading to Hajj Ali, a town about 46 kilometers from Debaga and 7 kilometers from the front lines with ISIS. They contacted local aid workers in Hajj Ali, who confirmed that the group had arrived there, stayed for one night, and then went on to join a militia nearby.


    John Kirby pinky swears he's never even heard of the report, is completely unfamiliar with it.

    There are two options here.

    First, he's lying because the militias are part of the Iraqi government (Hayder al-Abadi incorporated them into the armed forces some time ago) and the US government is not allowed to 'partner' in military operations with governments that use child soldiers.

    So he's lying to avoid legal ramifications.

    Or there's the second choice: He's really that stupid.

    Let's go with the second choice.

    I think it's the first but I think he's playing dumb on the national stage to avoid legal ramifications.


    So the US government has wasted X trillion of US taxpayer dollars on this never-ending illegal war and US troops are on the ground there and President Barack Obama has appointed a special envoy (Brett McGurk) and the State Dept and John Kirby can't be bothered monitoring Iraq?


    That's what he's saying to the United States and to the world -- but to the US taxpayers that pay his salary -- and all that eye liner can't be cheap, John -- he's saying that he can't be bothered.


    They can play with tax dollars like it's paper play money and with human lives like their plastic figures, they just can't pay attention to reality.

    Not a good message for the State Dept to convey.

    A major address coming from Clinton

    BULLY BOY PRESS &  CEDRIC'S BIG MIX -- THE KOOL AID TABLE

    CRANKY CLINTON HAD IT SEWN UP!

    THAT'S WHAT EVERYONE SAID.

    BUT POLLS NOW SHOW HER LOSING HER LEAD.

    LAST NIGHT, AT A STRATEGY SESSION, CRANKY PRESENTED THE SPEECH SHE WANTS TO DELIVER TO AMERICA "BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE."

    SWEARING THAT SHE WILL NOT LET DONALD TRUMP STEAL THIS FROM HER "THE WAY THAT JUNIOR SENATOR FROM ILLINOIS DID IN 2008!," CRANKY EXPLAINED:


    AMERICA, IT IS MY TIME.  YOU OWE ME THIS.  REMEMBER IN 1998?  THE COUNTRY WAS TORN APART.  I COULD HAVE DONE THE SELFISH THING, THE PIGGISH THING, THE SMART THING AND WALKED OUT ON BILL.  BUT THE PRESIDENCY WOULD HAVE COLLAPSED.  I SAVED THE COUNTRY BY STAYING IN MY FAKE MARRIAGE AND PRETENDING LIKE I WAS NOT HUMILIATED PUBLICLY FOR THE 70TH TIME BY YET ANOTHER OF BILL'S AFFAIRS.  I PUT YOU AHEAD OF MY PERSONAL HAPPINESS.  LOOK AT MY FACE?  HAVE I EVER HAD A SINGLE DAY OF HAPPINESS?  NO.  AND THAT'S WHY YOU OWE IT TO ME NOW AND WHY YOU MUST VOTE FOR ME.


    THOUGH MOST ADVISORS GREETED THE SPEECH WITH SILENCE, LONGTERM AID AND CAMPAIGN JOKE HUMA ABEDIN WEPT OPENLY AND EXCLAIMED, "TELL IT, SISTER! TELL IT!"


    FROM THE TCI WIRE:

    I am wrong all the time.


    But overall, our record stands.

    Unlike Luay-Luay, we have called things correctly repeatedly.


    When the White House didn't want to face the truth about Nouri al-Maliki -- and even after it had but didn't want the American people to know -- we have told the truth on Nouri.

    Before WikiLeaks revealed cables discussing the US government's view that Nouri was paranoid, we were already telling you -- years before -- about the CIA analysis that felt Nouri was the best candidate for prime minister of Iraq because his paranoia would make him easy to manipulate.

    Luay Luay lies but if you want to give him the benefit of the doubt -- his 'truth' is skewed by his desire to make money off of Iraq.

    Greed blinds him to realities like the fact that the militias are said to be recruiting child soldiers.  Human Rights Watch issues an alert which opens:

    Iraqi government-backed militias have recruited children from at least one displaced persons camp in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq to fight against Islamic State forces. All security forces and armed groups should abide by international law and demobilize any fighters under age 18.

    Not only ISIS uses , Iraq militias also recruit children <18 .="" a="" class="twitter-timeline-link" data-expanded-url="http://bit.ly/2bNKGBi" demobilize="" dir="ltr" href="https://t.co/8fO0kJGQsl" rel="nofollow" style="background: transparent; color: #1b95e0; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank" them.="" title="http://bit.ly/2bNKGBi">bit.ly/2bNKGBi









    The refugee crisis in Iraq is growing and that also doesn't convey the 'nothing but blue skies' Luay Luay would have you believe.
