I think that the first Bush had it right. And that Clinton was a pussy. And Bush Jr, wants to be a cowboy.

The US , the worlds biggest polluter, would cut its emissions in half. We would have taken steps to reduce the ozone depletion. We would not be held hostage by big oil companies making tens of billions on us each quarter. We wouldn't need to export hundred of billions of dollars a year to the war ravaged, terrorist harboring, middle east (the cause of most the worlds problems).

We could make hundreds of billions selling our American made electric cars to the other parts of the world. We could use the proceeds of that cash swing from hundreds of billions out to hundreds of billions in, to protect our borders, and lead by example and show that the strongest country in the world isn't a bully, we are innovators. We practice what we preach when we say the land of the free.

dole?

 

[S. Fourteen]

seriously, is he making a point or does it smell like diarrhea?

 

[PELLA]

the American government is crazy crooked/greedy and its society is too stupid..its pathetic. That shits never gonna happen. Im down for electric cars per example, but the asshole next to you wants a fucken 24 cylinder suburban.

 

[S. Fourteen]

well, that may be so but what he's saying is

innovation = electric cars = money = better protection = better world

what he doesnt realize is that America has been doing what America does way before he was born and he "rises and sleeps under the blanket of that very freedom". right?

 

[Jurhum]

if America invested the money it wasted on the war in Iraq, by now, they would've had the most advanced New Orleans ever.

But, i guess bush has his priorities set up right.

 

[S. Fourteen]

Again, people seem to focus way too much on Bush. Bush is just an esay target for all of us to point our fingers at. It goes way beyond.

 

[PuffnScruff]

even if agazillion dollars(yes i am being childish with that fake amount) was put into electric cars technology it wouldnt matter. you can force people to buy electric cars. you can only hope people will.

i would much rather have a hover car
give it to use australia! i know you have it, i have seen the google earth image !

 

[Eric]

I really think that salty had A LOT to smoke when he woke up this morning.

 

[S. Fourteen]

Well, it's a typical attitude. He thinks the world looks at America as a leader or whatever. He wants to look pretty. He think innovation will make the problem go away. He feels that this innovation will lead to better protection of the borders and that will some how solve the middle east situation, "the cause of most the worlds problems". I bet he thinks that America was fine and dandy before Bush came along. He probably thought the world loved America before Bush came along. Now that the headlines he reads aren't pretty, he needs a scapegoat to point his finger at. Did he make a sound during the invasion? No he did not.

 

[JDeez]

Blah blah blah... It's bullshit. It might be a nice concept, but i'd love to see some form of a logical business plan, or some economic references as to how the US would pull this off. Isn't Japan killing the US manufacturers in automobiles? How's the US gonna sell to other countries if Japan or other countries can make it cheaper and more reliable? There's so many variables to make this statement out to be the garbage that it is.

 

[Bender]

More bicycles , I say.

nothing can be more lucrative than the black gold they get with their fake war.

[goymz]

Bush is just an esay target for all of us to point our fingers at. It goes way beyond.

It certainly does. A lot of it is about corporations.. especially when it comes to something like pioneering electric cars.

The Iraq Liberation Act

October 31, 1998

STATEMENT BY THE PRESIDENT
THE WHITE HOUSE
Office of the Press Secretary
For Immediate Release

October 31, 1998

STATEMENT BY THE PRESIDENT

Today I am signing into law H.R. 4655, the "Iraq Liberation Act of 1998." This Act makes clear that it is the sense of the Congress that the United States should support those elements of the Iraqi opposition that advocate a very different future for Iraq than the bitter reality of internal repression and external aggression that the current regime in Baghdad now offers.
Let me be clear on what the U.S. objectives are: The United States wants Iraq to rejoin the family of nations as a freedom-loving and law-abiding member. This is in our interest and that of our allies within the region.
The United States favors an Iraq that offers its people freedom at home. I categorically reject arguments that this is unattainable due to Iraq's history or its ethnic or sectarian make-up. Iraqis deserve and desire freedom like everyone else. The United States looks forward to a democratically supported regime that would permit us to enter into a dialogue leading to the reintegration of Iraq into normal international life.
My Administration has pursued, and will continue to pursue, these objectives through active application of all relevant United Nations Security Council resolutions. The evidence is overwhelming that such changes will not happen under the current Iraq leadership.
In the meantime, while the United States continues to look to the Security Council's efforts to keep the current regime's behavior in check, we look forward to new leadership in Iraq that has the support of the Iraqi people. The United States is providing support to opposition groups from all sectors of the Iraqi community that could lead to a popularly supported government.
On October 21, 1998, I signed into law the Omnibus Consolidated and Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act, 1999, which made $8 million available for assistance to the Iraqi democratic opposition. This assistance is intended to help the democratic opposition unify, work together more effectively, and articulate the aspirations of the Iraqi people for a pluralistic, participa--tory political system that will include all of Iraq's diverse ethnic and religious groups. As required by the Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act for FY 1998 (Public Law 105-174), the Department of State submitted a report to the Congress on plans to establish a program to support the democratic opposition. My Administration, as required by that statute, has also begun to implement a program to compile information regarding allegations of genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes by Iraq's current leaders as a step towards bringing to justice those directly responsible for such acts.
The Iraq Liberation Act of 1998 provides additional, discretionary authorities under which my Administration can act to further the objectives I outlined above. There are, of course, other important elements of U.S. policy. These include the maintenance of U.N. Security Council support efforts to eliminate Iraq's weapons and missile programs and economic sanctions that continue to deny the regime the means to reconstitute those threats to international peace and security. United States support for the Iraqi opposition will be carried out consistent with those policy objectives as well. Similarly, U.S. support must be attuned to what the opposition can effectively make use of as it develops over time. With those observations, I sign H.R. 4655 into law.

WILLIAM J. CLINTON
THE WHITE HOUSE,

October 31, 1998.
