French Defend Their Approach to Terror Threats
Jeremy Henderson muttered....
Well if you're waiting for we to defend Clinton I recommend you order up some sandwiches as you're in for a long wait ;-) At least when he was "not having sex" with Monica he wasn't bombing people. Oh, but you're forgetting the Sudanese aspirin plant, the cruise missiles blindly gurled at OBL's camps in the Afghan wilds, downtown belgrade, Kosovo, etc. Clinton was quite willing to "bomb" folks, simply resistant to the harsh cold realities of committing ground troops and absorbing casualties (Hell, after a couple of helos collided in the Balkans, his solution was to stop flying...). Casualties and pictures of US dead and wounded meant lost votes, and even the idea of another day like Mogadishu was enough to have Mr. Clinton, remowned for sticking his dick and cigar in some furrin and nasty places, panic that he might be blamed for dragging the US's dick in the dirt and our goats in the wire. It's one thing to be sexually misadventuous, but if you're so horny as to get in a lather over Paula Jones broad (with a schnozz bigger'n a hammerhead mule's) in Arkansas or to waggle your weenie at Miss Puppy Fat of 2000, Monica the Chubby, you're hardly up to "European politician".

In a world sorely stricken with apostropherrhoea---it's (for 'its'), who'se, their's, ca'nt, etc., etc., one sees it every day---it's nice to find a simple structural overcorrection for a change. 'waiting for _____' 'we defend Clinton' When changing this to an infinitival construction (' to defend'), the case of the pronoun is determined by the preposition ('for') and must therefore be the object form ('us'). cheers, Henry |

Do you mean to imply that since he is more like a european politician that all of them have "numerous affairs"? -- Nancy Kay I thought it was 'de rigeur'. -- John Owens Fax 44 1509 89 08 22 www.GoodViews.co.uk |
