Will the WaPo and NYT ignore this one too on the Clinton-Cayman Islands connection?

Japan intercepts missile in milestone test

A Japanese navy destroyer shot down a ballistic missile on Monday in a test about 100 miles over the Pacific, a first for a U.S. ally, U.S. and Japanese forces said.
Speak softly and carry a big stick.

U.S.-Japanese missile-defense ties have grown greatly since North Korea fired a three-stage Taepo Dong 1 missile over Japan on August 31, 1998.
Not one of finer moments for Albright, Saint Bill or Bill Richardson, eh?

Such cooperation [between the U.S. and Japan on missile-defense and naval tactics] has angered [China], which fears it could help the United States defend Taiwan if China used force to try to bring the self-governing island under mainland rule.
Yep.

As they say, read the whole thing.

Elder Bush nixes Clinton trip idea
Bill Clinton said Monday he and former President Bush would go on a diplomatic mission if Hillary Clinton became president.


WASHINGTON (CNN) — Former President George H.W. Bush has shot down his successor Bill Clinton’s idea of a diplomatic mission under a Hillary Clinton presidency that would send him and other notables abroad to assure other nations that “America is open for business and cooperation again.”

The move came one day after Bill Clinton made the suggestion on the campaign trail in South Carolina, in response to a question from a supporter about his wife’s “number-one priority” upon reaching the White House.

In a statement sent to CNN Tuesday afternoon, former President Bush’s chief of staff Jean Becker said that he “wholeheartedly supports the President of the United States, including his foreign policy. He has never discussed an ‘around-the-world-mission’ with either former President Bill Clinton or Sen. Clinton, nor does he think such a mission is warranted since he is proud of the role America continues to play around the world as the beacon of hope for freedom and democracy.

“President Bush is excited about several of the excellent Republican candidates running for president, and looks forward to discussing their candidacy once the Republican nominee is determined.”

–CNN's Rebecca Sinderbrand

Only Bill and Hillary Clinton are dumb enough to believe that H.W. Bush (41) would be willing to trash G.W. Bush (his son - 43) to help Hillary capture the nomination.

Bill and Hillary think everyone is fixated on her desire to win. She fails to realize it's her own personal problem.

We're not all trying to move heaven and earth so that Hillary's lifelong dream of being president can come true.

Hillary is so focused on Hillary and she is so obsessed with becoming president, how could she possibly care about average Americans? She can't. She's only pretending to care.
