Goldsnow - do you really think this is the truth or some righto's version thereof? Seriously - I think you have to be very sceptical of what you read. Also you have to sift out the sour grapes which taint some comments. I would take a lot of that with a bucketful of salt. There is at least one precendent for something Clinton has done - Rogers was never really Secretary of State either - Kissinger was the de facto one, until he became the real thing. I'm sure any Presidential historian would give you many examples, from most administrations..It's like that list of all those people who have been killed - I'm sure that could be dismissed easily - many co-incidences. Sounds terrifying when all context is removed.

Was Wolseley actually CIA Head -or a senior official in the CIA? I thought the latter but may be wrong. Reagan's Presidency was a wonderful period of mythmaking. Apparently at International meetings of heads of state he was fine when he could read the opening remarks from a teleprompter (amazing in itself) but lost and a complete embarrasment to all present when the actual discussions began. An anti government spending platform turned into the greatest deficit in history - you see, to the right, military spending and all the boondoggles associated with it doesn't count as government spending at all!! And yet these people think Keynes was the devil. Keynes advocated increased government spending from a zero deficit base. He was one of the great contrarian thinkers, and undoubtedly would have been a contrarian today - we need people of his giant intellect now - sadly there seem to be none - but we haven't yet reached the crisis point which might produce this kind of individual.

People believe in their own myths - whether pro or con - the one you printed is of the latter variety I'd have to think. Excuse spelling. E
