No, we could not have that. She was arrested again in 2001 and would have been arrested in 2009, when she signed an illegal deal with Russia, but for the fact that she was in power at the time. In the previous week, Clinton visited Ireland. One would swear these individuals were the good guys as they are led around the place by the hand. Have people forgotten that in the late 1990s Clinton was responsible for substantial increasing arms sales to Turkey, which led to probably the worst incident of ethnic cleansing - in respect of the Kurdish people - of that period? When it was pointed out to the American establishment that it was contributing to the ethnic cleansing of Kurds by arming Turkey, it replied that helping the Kurds would have interfered with US power interests. The Americans were probably right in that regard. One of Clinton's last acts prior to leaving office was to provide only $75 million in foreign aid for the world's poorest countries. Even then, this amount was regarded as a shameful pittance. Simultaneously, he provided $1.3 billion for the Colombian army which was involved in a so-called drugs war. In so doing, he facilitated what was nothing short of state terror. For a period, some 3,000 political prisoners died in Colombia each year and more than 300,000 refugees fled the country annually. This was all the result of a US Government policy financed by our friend Clinton. Those in our Government have funny friends.
