Disaster
when I heard this I seriously thought it was a joke.
He might as well appoint Dick Cheney as a good will ambassador to the middle east…

The idea is to bring all people together. I think it is a good idea. A lot better than Rush limbaugh putting a donation link on his website and taking a cut of all donations, or Pat Robertson asking people to donate to him so he can pray for them

I’d think the whole point is to get him to speak out about it..
Bush still has a lot of support, and is able to reach the side Obama and Clinton would never get..

Don’t forget bill clinton is in on that appointment, hopefully he doesn’t find any of those women attractive or else he’ll be giving a different form of disaster releif

It doesn’t seem like the best choice considering how the Bush administration botched the Katrina disaster .

if any thing goes wrong now we can really blame Bush

Bush + Clinton = epic world connections
We all saw what Clinton did with the U.S journalists stuck in Korea.
epic negotiating and foreign affairs skills, thats what.
This is an unstoppable team

I can respect you.
The ones who say 0bama is letting him make amends or letting hiim clean up his act make me want to puke.
I despise Bush but in 8 years it is not near as much as 0bama in one month.
This should prove to you what we old Americans have told you they all sleep together,.’0bama is doing little different then Bush and notice they are together and have been all along.
Wake up people.

I don’t think he’s going to be in control of anything, but it would seem that two former Presidents would bring more attention to what’s going on over there. If hes willing to donate his time for a cause like that, I won’t denigrate him for it. It’s a noble cause.

Why – is there something wrong with you?
Bush showed far more respect to Clinton than BHO has shown either Pres. Bush (W or HW). And they show BHO far more than he has earned/deserves.
In BHO’s mind Mohammed Atta would be his choice for Middle East Ambassador.
See Barry is basically a dim-wit – the idiot claimed 10,000 people died in a Kansas tornado when 10 – that is TEN people died.
He ignores the Fort Hood attacker and the Christmas day bomber for DAYS- while attacking Pres. Bush for taking a couple hours before addressing the country.
Yeah BHO is the man to go to in an emergency – BULL

I agree. It’s like appointing Osama bin Laden to the head of counter-terrorism.

0bama and Clinton went to Massachusetts to push Coakley this weekend. That left George Bush in charge in Haiti, doesn’t this bug you?

Hey genius , did you know that Nagin and the govenor of LA didnt react in time and tried to cover their butts by blaming Bush . Bush declared NO a disaster zone 24 hrs before Katrina hit so the idiots in LA would leave or get help . Quit spreading lies .

China will likely replace the USA as world leader, said Bill Clinton in a recent Washington Post interview. It is just a matter of time. Clinton should know. He has personally done more to build China’s military strength than any man on earth.
Most Americans have heard of the so-called "Chinagate" scandal. Few understand its deadly import, however. Web sites such as "Chinagate for Dummies" and its companion "More Chinagate for Dummies" offer some assistance.
Unfortunately, with a combined total of nearly 8,000 words, these two sites – like so many others of the genre – offer more detail than most of us "dummies" can absorb.
For that reason, in the 600 words left in this column, I will try to craft my own "Idiot’s Guide to Chinagate," dedicated to all those busy folks like you and me whose attention span tends to peter out after about 750 words.
Here goes.
When Bill Clinton took office in 1993, China presented no threat to the United States. Chinese missiles "couldn’t hit the side of a barn," notes Timothy W. Maier of Insight magazine. Few could reach North America and those that made it would likely miss their targets.
Thanks to Bill Clinton, China can now hit any city in the USA, using state-of-the-art solid-fueled missiles with dead-accurate, computerized guidance systems and multiple warheads.
China probably has suitcase nukes as well. These enable China to strike by proxy – equipping nuclear-armed terrorists to do its dirty work while the Chinese play innocent. Some intelligence sources claim that China maintains secret stockpiles of chemical, biological and nuclear weapons on U.S. soil, for just such contingencies.
In 1997, Clinton allowed China to take over the Panama Canal. The Chinese company Hutchison Whampoa leased the ports of Cristobal and Balboa, on the east and west openings of the canal, respectively, thus controlling access both ways.
A public outcry stopped Clinton in 1998 from leasing California’s Long Beach Naval Yard to the Chinese firm COSCO. Even so, China can now strike U.S. targets easily from its bases in Panama, Vancouver and the Bahamas.
How did the Chinese catch up so fast? Easy. We sold them all the technology they needed – or handed it over for free. Neither neglect nor carelessness is to blame. Bill Clinton did it on purpose.
As a globalist, Clinton promotes "multipolarity" – the doctrine that no country (such as the USA) should be allowed to gain decisive advantage over others.
To this end, Clinton appointed anti-nuclear activist Hazel O’Leary to head the Department of Energy. O’Leary set to work "leveling the playing field," as she put it, by giving away our nuclear secrets. She declassified 11 million pages of data on U.S. nuclear weapons and loosened up security at weapons labs.
Federal investigators later concluded that China made off with the "crown jewels" of our nuclear weapons research under Clinton’s open-door policy – probably including design specifications for suitcase nukes.
Meanwhile, Clinton and his corporate cronies raked in millions.
In his book "The China Threat," Washington Times correspondent Bill Gertz describes how the system worked.
Defense contractors eager to sell technology to China poured millions of dollars into Clinton’s campaign. In return, Clinton called off the dogs. Janet Reno and other counterintelligence officials stood down while Lockheed Martin, Hughes Electronics, Loral Space & Communications and other U.S. companies helped China modernize its nuclear strike force.
"We like your president. We want to see him re-elected," former Chinese intelligence chief Gen. Ji Shengde told Chinagate bagman Johnny Chung.
Indeed, Chinese intelligence organized a massive covert operation aimed at tilting the 1996 election Clinton’s way.
Clinton’s top campaign contributors for 1992 were Chinese agents; his top donors in 1996 were U.S. defense contractors selling missile technology to China.
Clinton recieved funding directly from known or suspected Chinese intelligence agents, among them James and Mochtar Riady, who own the Indonesian Lippo Group; John Huang; Charlie Trie; Ted Sioeng; Maria Hsia; Wang Jun and others.
Commerce Secretary Ron Brown served as Clinton’s front man in many Chinagate deals. When investigators began probing Brown’s Lippo Group and Chinagate connections, Brown died suddenly in a suspicious April 1996 plane crash.
Needless to say, China does not share Clinton’s enthusiasm for globalism or multipolarity. The Chinese look out for No. 1.
"War [with the United States] is inevitable; we cannot avoid it," said Chinese Defense Minister Gen. Chi Haotian in 2000. "The issue is that the Chinese armed forces must control the initiative in this war." Bill Clinton has given them a good star

Bush is in charge of clearing brush. It’s the same thing Cheney put him in charge of when he was President.
