Karl von Clausewitz, Prussian General, wrote "On War"; expounding the concept of total war (which used to be the case in Europe until the late middle ages, I think, when a code was worked out whereupon non-combatants were first recognized, and allowed to continue tilling fields and in general taking care of things so that the boys could spend all their valuable time land grabbing, killing Jews, raping grandmothers and various other brutality) which meant, once again a total destruction of the enemy, root and branch (see Sherman's March).
Famous for having said "War is a continuation of diplomacy by other means."
ps- cut the prez some slack; I, personally, have had sex with those I shouldn't, and would certainly have lied about it, repeatedly, if questioned, which thank G-d I never was and let's face it, who here reading these words could say different?? So don't say he shoulda 'fessed up 7 months ago, 'cause nobody falls on their sword who doesn't absolutely have to, which is at least obvious.
And don't forget our quiet Monica who at this point in her life opens her mouth ONLY after a signed sealed delivered deal with a Whitewater prosecutor (although what a savings and loan or Vince Foster for that matter has to do with an Arkansas S&L is anybody's guess) and then delivers up a dirty dress hidden for months at Mom's what kind of person does this???
So while it is true that Clinton's got feet of clay, we're not talking a crew of burglars in the White House basement, millions in hush money or taking an enemies list to the FBI/CIA/IRS. Let's have some perspective PLEASE it's lying about a G.D. blowjob and who wouldn't do that? And don't lie about that; at least not to yourself. Rant over! Spread spectrum, anyone? |
