Neocon, A small blurb on the missile that hit Bulgaria.....

NATO Bulgaria Story Falls Short
2226 GMT, 990429

On the evening of April 28, a U.S.-made AGM-88 "Harm" anti-radiation missile struck a house in the town of Gorna Bania, a southern suburb of Sofia Bulgaria. Attempting to explain the incident, NATO spokesman Jamie Shea today said that a NATO pilot, targeted by a Yugoslav surface to air missile system's radar, had fired a missile "in self defense." That missile went astray and accidentally struck the building in Bulgaria.

There is a small problem with this explanation – a problem of range. The Harm has a 25 kilometer range. The closest point on the Yugoslav border to Gorna Bania is about 45 to 50 kilometers away. Since we doubt NATO has added Sofia to its target list, clearly there is more to this story than Shea is acknowledging.

Clinton's record is not one of being tempted by money--- on the other hand , there is quite a trail of his susseptability to sex.. Sorry about the spelling ...

BTW,, this went relatively unnoticed , but when he went to Ireland last year he said (to the effect) " You would be surprised at who is running the show"... Sorry, I can't quote what he said, but that was the idea... This was when he was confronted at a Pub by some outspoken bloak, and caught by some keen reporter...
