Clinton may have been a lot of things, but damn he was pretty slick, when it came right down to it, and he'd have been a lot of use in that position if he hadn't sleazed his way into the white house.
What we need to do is get these incompetent MORONS *out* of there before they make an even worse mess, and replace them with folks who have enough cultural and psychological knowledge of the people they are dealing with to communicate effectively, and stick it to em for our benefit while leaving them happy about it.
This sounds like a job for...

Certainly sleazy enough, and a shyster for sure, but given his history and connections, I've got a better job for him - send him south!
Instead of pissing Chavez and his whole country off, maybe he can squeeze us some more oil and raw argo-bulk useable for biofuel production.
It'll be a good day when we can afford to tell the house of Saud to piss up a rope.

Last figures I heard (can't remember where, sorry) stated that with current usage + estimated increase in consumption, the Saudi reserves will be "gassing out" in 2047. Sorry for the really bad pun.
Why wait though Fredfirma, just put a rope in a box, mail it to prince with instructions on how to piss up it. Might be kind of fun.

Tempting, but after the thing in Mexico, I'd sorta like to avoid pissing off red tape brigade again...

Tishreen, the Syrian state newspaper, welcomed the talks. “Pelosi’s visit won’t be enough to remove all obstacles in the form of normalising American-Syrian relations, but we believe that the dialogue she is conducting in Damascus is very important,” it said
Well, when all is said and done, it looks like they nodded a bit, and nothing was harmed, nor accomplished

Speaker Pelosi should be censured or her wreckless and idiotic actions. She's exceeded the powers of the Constitution and is interfering w/ the Execuitive Branch's foreign policy. Nancy Pelosi is simply playing a game of domesetic politics on an international stage.
If the GOP does nothing and doesn't at least try to censure Madame Pelosi, then they'll have learned nothing from the '06 election which cost them their majority.
People love a happy ending. So every episode, I will explain once again that I don't like people. And then Mal will shoot someone. Someone we like. And their puppy. - Joss

If thw White House asked him not to go, and he tried to introduce foreign policy views which are not in line w/ those of the Administration, then yes. Censure, prosecute....which ever. Whom ever violated U.S. law here, ....let them face the music.
