President Clinton the Second would not be stomping the sh- out of Latin American governments

[Kolesar]

...like dumb Bush did. I don't see Hillary trying to overthrow Chavez, for example.

China will soon have the Pentagon in check in the Americas anyway. That is where their resources come from these days. And they have the money to buy it.

1. You better check

to make sure before you go making those kind of predictions.

No more bushes or clintons in our White House.

[liberal renegade]

2. whatever....

The Clinton years in D.C. did wonders for this country, if my memory serves me correctly....

5. The investor class did fine with NAFTA. The working class got fucked by the Clintons!

And they will get fucked again by the Clintons if they are returned to the White House.

[Cha]

8. Yeah, you better check hillary's

voting record with the bushits and then tell me what's good for our country.

Whatever.

3. Hillary Clinton speaking to a group of wealthy supporters: "Take that, Venezuela!"

In what’s sure to be the first of many star-studded events for presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton, about 1,000 well-heeled New York Democrats gathered last night for a sit-down dinner at the Sheraton to get their first taste of the Clinton '08 campaign machine. Ron Howard, Chelsea Clinton, and Moby mixed it up with a slew of Wall Street types and the state's congressional delegation. Charles Rangel and Chuck Schumer warmed up the crowd, who paid $1,000 for a plate of filet mignon, risotto, and spinach served with Cabernet Sauvignon. (The good seats were $4,600 each.) But everyone was just waiting for the Clintons (or just Bill?), who took the floor accompanied by Jesus Jones's "Right Here, Right Now." The former president jawed on for a good fifteen minutes, lauding his wife and comparing her to Eleanor Roosevelt. Reluctant to yield the stage, he finally did — just so a raspy-voiced Hillary could launch into her stump-speech points: health care, lower college tuition, and pulling troops from Iraq. The audience warmed when she talked about how the couple conserves energy up in Chappaqua: He replaces lightbulbs, and she mutters to herself with every flip of the switch, "Take that, Iran! Take that, Venezuela!"

In the video of her speech, broadcast by ABC News and posted in DU at the time, Hillary stated that the values of the Bolivarian revolution were "not our values." In that statement Hillary clearly aligned herself with the Venezuelan elites.

Take note that Hillary took pains to lump Venezuela with Iran, while not mentioning Saudi Arabia.

Hillary is also an enabler of terrorism! Unlike Dennis Kucinich and other progressives, Hillary has chosen to remain silent on Venezuela's extradition request for Cuban-exile Luis Posada Carriles to be tried for his acts of terrorism.

Posada Carriles is a CIA-trained operative implicated in a series of terrorists incidents, including the bombing of the Cubana Airlines civilian airliner that killed 73 people on October 6, 1976. In November 2000, Posada Carriles was arrested in Panama for preparing a bomb to explode in the University of Panama’s Conference Hall, where Fidel Castro was scheduled to deliver a speech.

4. Hillary's Latin America policy

would be whatever her corporate masters dictate.

[IndianaGreen]

6. Like her husband, Hillary Clinton will keep the School of the Americas open

and she will continue to fund Plan Colombia. The elites in Latin America will love our version of Evita Peron, while the peasants and the workers continue to be exploited, tortured, and assassinated for opposing American hegemony.

7. Her announced Cuban policy

is more restrictive than her husband's or even Dubya's.

All actions will be filtered through the political lens. If it makes her more popular with the right-wing, then that is what she will do. This of course marks most of Washington's decisions, but Senator Clinton is one of the worst.

9. Would depend on the government

If's it's a government that supports Latin America becoming a colony of Wall St. and Corporate America -- while espousing "freedom and markets" -- they'll do just fine.

But of they are brazen enough to actually try to assert sovereignty and actually contradict what Wall St. or the "free traders" want them to do....Well, that would be another story.
