The hunches of
Rowley for searching Moussaoui..
    This lim'rick's to those who most loudly
    condemn those rejecting Ms. Rowley's
    submission of pleas
    for warrants to seize
    the hard-drives and files of Moussaoui.
    In hindsight it's clear that her hunches
    were right he was one of the bunches
    of wannabe martyrs
    as murderous plotters
    for deaths in the thousands not bunches.
    But some who're disdaining her bosses today
    were leading the chorus expressing dismay
    for Arabs arrested
    on hunches untested
    before learning Murrow was bombed by McVey..
..
Inspired by the hypocrisy of some who now loudly disdain Rowley's bosses for
interpreting information she presented in support of her prescient hunch about Moussaoui
as being insufficient to support her requests for a search warrant.  I
remember indignant disdain being heaped upon the FBI when several Arabs were
arrested or detained in the connection with the bombing of the Murrow building
in Oklahoma before the identification and arrest of Timothy McVey as the
perpetrator.  No one should object to rational suggestions for a
top-to-bottom reevaluation of anti-terrorists resources, procedures and
personnel, but I find much of the loud public criticism to be self-evidently
based on hindsight cloaked in hypocritical posturing in self-righteous
indignation.  More to come...  --Jim

A course about
Clinton at Arkansas-U  includes a full spectrum of legacy views..
    According to Yahoo's reliable source
    at Arkansas-U
there will soon be a course
    on Bubba's two terms,
    and sources confirm
    that Bubba wants interns enrolled in this course.
    But Bubba will have to abandon
    his plans to bring interns in tandem
    'cause Bubba won't be
    the teacher, you see--
    Instead, it's a woman named Scranton.
    Since Scranton has issued a call that is clarion
    for pro-Clintonistas and Bubba's contrarians,
    she ought to include
    satirical views
    preserved for all times by the Clinton
Liebrarian.*        
.
    To structure the course to give students a look
    across the full spectrum of viewpoints and books,
    the right composition
    includes acquisition
    of 2001's Clinton Liebrary
Book.**
.
..
Inspired by a May 30, 2002 Yahoo/AP report***
that starting in January, 2003, the University of Arkansas political-science
department will include a course on the Clinton Presidency (i.e., the Clinton Era
Error) to be taught by Professor Margaret E. Scranton. --Jim

Could Bubba's new
Library Mansion be deemed to "Advantage Arkansans"?..
    A program designed to "Advantage Arkansans"* 
    rejected** requests to show Bubba compassion
    by letting him pluck
    a few million bucks
    in tax-credit funds for his Library Mansion.
    Bill's knowledge such credits were not for non-profits
    but solely for businesses striving for profits
    reveals to us why
    he chose to apply--
    His Library's funded from pardons for profits.
    Despite profits earned by his Library
    the bureaucrats ruled to the contrary,
    but maybe they would,
    and surely they should,
    give credits for building a Liebrary.***    
.
..
Inspired by the May 29, 2002, report (see **
 below) that Arkansas' "Advantage Arkansas" tax-credit program denied the
application by the Clinton Library aka Clinton Presidential Center for millions
of dollars in tax credits designed exclusively to encourage for-profit
businesses rather than foundations or other non-profit organizations.  --Jim
Wrenn, Editor@PoliSat.Com...
*.
The program's title "Advantage Arkansas" necessarily implies its
purpose is to "Advantage Arkansans."

Insightful Dan
Rather's Conspiracy Blather..
    And now Rather-Blather is at it again* 
    "reporting" the views of political friends
    that Ashcroft had started
    to only fly chartered
    before Nine-Eleven 'cause warnings were "in."
    Of course Rather-Blather displayed no remorse** 
    for failing to learn from a credible source
    that John chartered jets
    'cause personal threats
    against him had come from a credible source.
    'Though Dan won't reveal his erroneous source,
    our Archives of Blather*** are clues to the source
    that Rather preferred
    for slanderous words:  
    't'was Dan, not the mouth, but the rear of the horse.
..
Thank goodness we can count on Rather to regularly provide material for our
Archives of Rather-Blather cited in footnote ***
below. --Jim
Wrenn, Editor@PoliSat.Com..
*.On
 Imus in the Morning on Wednesday, May 22, 2002, Dan Rather implied that the reason John Ashcroft began flying chartered planes instead of commercial
airlines before Nine-Eleven was that he had received advance warnings of terrorist hijackings.  See
http://www.mrc.org/cyberalerts/2002/cyb20020524.asp#2..

The Euro advice on
Saddam's device.
    It's good we're receiving the brilliant advice
    from Europe, whose butt we were forced to save twice: 
    "You shouldn't attack
    Saddam in Iraq
    unless he's completed his nuking device."
    Though  how to know  when is a raging debate,
       the Euro's assure us it's better to wait
       for better precision
       in timing the mission,
       but Rummy prefers it too soon than too late.
..
Inspired by the great comfort I take in advice from Europeans, whose brilliant
strategies twice invited the stupid Americans to save their butts in the Twentieth Century.--Jim

We trust 'em
controlling a plane.  Why not in controlling their aim?.
    For safety, the gov'ment requires
    if pilots tote guns they'll be fired.
    Give thanks for perfection
    of needed protection
    from pilots who shoot friendly fliers.
..
*.It
seems to me that if a situation on an airplane were to deteriorate to a point at
which possession of a firearm would be a pilot's only hope of regaining control
(or preventing loss of control) of an airliner, then the risk that he might
wield the weapon ineffectively or lose control of it is patently moot. 
Although I understand that some experts theorize that terrorist's knowledge that
pilots are armed will provide an opportunity for the terrorists to seize control
of the weapon, but I say, "So what?"   If 911 proves
anything, it proves unarmed pilots have zero chance to stop a takeover by people
armed with knives and a ruthless willingness to kill passengers.  It's
argued that it's better for the only armed personnel to be unidentified marshals
in the passenger compartment, but since I'm smart enough to know an easy way for
a group of suicidal fanatics to overcome that situation, I assume they would
likewise be smart enough to do so, which would leave the plane with an unarmed
cockpit crew protected only by a not-yet-bulletproof door.--Jim

The questions
3/4ths of the Gang of Four's posing:
"Just what did Bush know and just when did he know it?"..
    When Daschle and Hill'ry and Gephardt were posing:  
    "Just what did  Bush know ...
and when did he know it?"
    Their "trumpets" were clear
    not knowing we'd hear
    their horns as political flatulence blowing.
    The posings by Daschle and Hill'ry and Gephardt
    with sinister questions in hopes for a head-start
    as Two-Thousand-Four's
    replacement for Gore
    resembled the south of some northward-bound centaurs.
    By quickly denying intent to imply
    that Bush knew the danger from planes in the sky,
    they hoped to evade
    they mess they had made,
    but we still demanded they tell us their
"why's."
    We gave them assignments*: 
Assume that you knew
    the scope of the clues you imply that he knew,
    then stand in the limelight
    and tell us your hindsight
    on how terror would've been thwarted by
you:  .
    Assume laws for homeland and foreign
intelligence
    allowed F-B-I
/ C-I-A
the convenience
    of agents and snoops
    exchanging the fruits
    of files like that note from the agent in
Phoenix.
    And also assume that the agents and filers
    shared data procured on that man, Zacarias
    and theorized too,
    but yet couldn't prove,
    his plan was to serve as a hijacking flier.
    Assume you deduced that he wasn't alone
    with plans to control where a plane
would be flown
    and brilliantly knew
    the weapons they'd use--
    not pistols or rifles but blades finely
honed.
    Assume you had foresight to rightly deduce
    as missiles is how hijacked planes would
be used
    in early September
    in plans they would enter
    New York and DeeCee as the targets they'd use.
    To stop 'em you'd have-to have kept on
the ground
    all planes for New York and for Washington bound--
    despite accusations
    you'd panic the nation--
    'til all of the hijacking plotters were found.
    But even Draconian measures like that
    would not guarantee that their plans would fall
flat
    'cause soon they'd decide
    to take diff'rent rides
    and pick other cities for terror attacks.
    To guard against that you'd instruct all
the crews
    to stay in the cockpits, ignore what they do
    and make the plane land
    as soon as you can
    and then call the morgue for the people they
slew.
    Before Nine-One-One, they would not have obeyed
    a theory all hijackers' plans are the same.
    Instead they'd have tried
    to save people's lives
    believing they'd not lose control of the plane.
    Before Nine-One-One altered everyone's role
    not even the heroes like Beamer would
"roll"
    to crash their own plane--
    They'd think it insane
    to risk death of all of the folks on the plane.
    You thus should've known if you only
would ground
    the planes for New York and for Washington bound,
    you merely would change
    the targets of planes
    and elsewhere make "zero" the name of
the ground.
    We're sure you would know that adopting a plan
    to close all the airports throughout all the land
    would lay the foundation
    for making the nation
    a hostage to all of the terrorists' plans.
    So what could be used as a secular
missal
    for thwarting the plans to use airlines as missiles?
    We're sure you'd reject
    an plan to eject
    all men from the lands in the East we
call Middle.
    I thus say to Daschle and Hill'ry and Gephardt: 
    To alter your visage as back-sides of centaurs,
    you ought to admit
    your words were unfit
    and also find smarter political mentors.

No self-esteem
"E" just for effort ... for Daschle or Hill'ry or "Gepper"..
    When Daschle and Gephardt and Hillary roared
    the claim, "Dubya could've or should've
done more
    to stop Nine-One-One,"
    I said, "Don't be mum--
    Please tell us how you would've handled
that chore."
    Now Daschle and Hill'ry and Gephardt
    have quit after taking a head-start
    contending Bush should've
    and they, of course, would've
    brought Nine-One-One plans to a dead-stop.
    Since Daschle and Hill'ry and "Gepper"
    have not sent by word or by letter
    a single  submission*,
    I can't even give 'em
    a self-esteem "E" just for effort.
    Tomorrow, I'm planning to mention
    the grades they deserve for contentions
    that timely review
    of all of the clues
    would prob'ly have led to prevention.

roar

    Your time has now come 
    to specify how you'd-a handled that chore:

    and Nine-One-One clues
    could all have been viewed
    by one special team without breaking the
law.
    You next must pretend last July you
reviewed
    the total collection of terrorist clues
    which now you're contending
    were keys for preventing
    attacks on New York and the Pentagon too.
    
    Assume your review of the clues made it plain
    that Arab fanatics would hijack a plane
    and kill or subdue
    the airliner's crew
    to knock-down a building by flying the
plane.
    Assume in addition the clues made it plain 
    they wouldn't attempt to take guns on the plane
    but prob'ly would use
    a knife or a ruse
    for seizing the cockpit to pilot the plane.
    Assume that the clues made it clear in addition
    that early September's the time for the mission
    with targets to be
    New York or DeeCee,
    and now tell me how you would thwart
such a mission.
    I'll give you 'til Sunday to tender submissions
    of things you'd have done to have thwarted their missions,
    but if you return
    on Sunday you'll learn
    the reasons you wouldn't have thwarted their missions.

Inspired by the shallow,
naive, sanctimonious and self-serving criticisms of those-- among the worst of
whom have been Daschle, Gephardt and Hillary-- attempting to imply that 911
probably wouldn't have occurred absent negligence, inattentiveness, or
insufficient intellect on the part of Bush-- especially in light of their having
long occupied in so sanctimonious a way that part of the political spectrum most
ardent in the desire to maintain separation of foreign intelligence and domestic
intelligence activities.  Although I certainly want to avoid concentration
of sufficient intelligence authority to increase the risks of a KGB type service
evolving, I'm willing to accept the fact that one of the prices a free society
must pay to minimize that risk is an inherent diminution of its ability to
prevent terrorism.  That's why Rumsfeld is right-- in the age of
mass-destruction weapons coupled with the existence of people with sufficient
expertise and fanaticism to use them as weapons of terror, the only effective
"defense" is comprehensive and unrelenting offense.   --Jim

To stop
Nine-Eleven, could Bush have done more...
... if he had just added the two's to get four?..
    "To stop Nine-Eleven, we could have
done more
    if only we'd added the two's to get
four"*--           
*[This is a paraphrase of current criticism.]
    Such critics' apostasy
    is blatant hypocrisy
    by those who opposed such addition
before.
    'T'was long-ago Congress enacted some laws
    designed to save freedom from government's
paws:
    Domestic intelligence
    and foreign intelligence
    were kept on the opposite sides of a wall.
    And what was the reason for for making
that wall?
    To minimize risks that our freedom might fall
    if both were to be
    our own "KGB"
    becoming "Big Brother" as knower of
all.
    
    So what can we do to resolve this
dilemma
    in making intelligence better and trimmer
    for finding the bad-guys
    and leaving the good-guys
    while not making lights of our liberties
dimmer.
    
    I wish I could claim that I know the
right answer.
    For terror, the cure, is for freedom a
cancer.
    Demanding perfection
    in terror protection
    would weaken our rights as vaccine for
the cancer.
    
    And so, like the Brits, in the Battle of Britain,
    who all faced the risks they'd be pers'nally
smitten,
    we all must accept
    the risks can't be kept
    at zero or else it's our freedom that's
smitten.
.
Inspired by the patent
hypocrisy and transparent apostasy of claims that the Bush administration could
have, and would have, prevented 911 if only it had added two and two to get four
in light of the fact that many who make such claims are the same ones who
insisted years ago that we maintain a wall of separation between domestic and
foreign intelligence to protect us from the evolution of a KGB type authority
that could, and would, threaten our liberties.  --Jim

Abdullah thinks
Bubba is wiser than Dubya..
(Quoted by Brit Hume in the final
segment of Special Report on May 15, 2002, on Fox News).
    My  name is the Crown Prince Abdullah,
    who  met down in Texas with Dubya,
    but George went to bed
    at Nine, so instead
    I  had an all-nighter with Bubba.
    I  found Dubya  honest, but really
    found much more in  common with Willie,
    who showed erudition
    in Arab tradition: 
    He knows the best role for the fillies..
.
Inspired by two now-emerging
stories about Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah's recent trip to Texas to meet with
Dubya:  
First, reports*
that Prince Abdullah is telling Arab audiences he found Dubya to
be "noble ... honest, courageous and highly compassionate ... but not fully
informed [about the Middle East]."  Second, reports**
that during that visit, Clinton was staying in the same hotel as was Abdullah,
and after an early-evening ending of one of Abdullah's meetings with Dubya,
Clinton went to Abdullah's suite where the two chatted until the wee hours of
the morning --Jim

Are Greenhouse
Believers afflicted with panic
from fear that their theory will sink like Titanic?..
    Why is it the Greenhouse Believers are frantic?
    'Cause people are growing reluctant to panic
    at Greenhouse Theology
    on Doomsday Ecology
    that preaches that humans are warming the planet.
    What  is it that's threat'ning the people's reliance
    on Greenhouse predictions presented as science?
    More experts complaining
    that guesswork explaining
    is simply no more than politicized science..
.
Inspired by a May 13, 2002,
"report"*
by "Planet Ark" describing unsupported guess-work estimates in jargon
implying scientific validity in describing a "warning" that the
"world is warming faster than forecast."  In contrast, see a May
14, 2002, report**
about scientists rejecting such theories as unscientific guesswork.

or Scientific Flatulence?"--an

A campaigning rumor
that spread like a tumor... to draft Hill-a-ree... to run for VeePee..
   
Our ex-POTUS1, Clinton, is floating a rumor:  
   
A draft-Hill'ry movement would spread like a tumor
   
to run for VeePee
   
'cause he couldn't be
    FGOTUS2 as spouse of the first POTUS
womb-er3.
   
But ex-POTUS Clinton is wrong after all--
   
If Hill'ry were POTUS, instead he'd be called
   
the "HOH"4 'stead of
" Willie,"
   
for "Husband of Hill'ry,"
   
the Forty-Fourth POTUS, a straddler of _alls5.
.
Inspired by a news report6
that Clinton suggested Hillary ought to seek the 2004 nomination for Vice
President rather than President.--Jim
Wrenn, Editor@PoliSat.Com..
1.  "POTUS" (pronounced "poatus") is the acronym for
"President Of The US."
2.  As "FLOTUS" (pronounced "floatus") is the acronym
for "First Lady Of The US," "FGOTUS" (pronounced "fagotus"
rhyming with "pagodas") would be the acronym for "First Gentleman
Of The US," for which position Slick Willie would be unqualified.
3.  "Womber" is poetic license for a person with a womb.
4. 
"HOH" is pronounced "ho" as in "ho, ho" or as in
the title of Eddie Murphy's classic Saturday Night Live skit on "How
to be a Ho".
5.  Shame on you if you didn't assume the missing
key to be
"c" as an allusion to Hillary's having made $100,000 from straddle-
calls on a $1,000 investment.

A Mothers' Day
tribute to virtue... Displayed by the Mothers who nurture..
    I'm tired of the whining and frets 
       by Yuppies with children as pets. 
       The  proper child-care's
    a Mother who's there-- 
       not surrogates  paid to hear frets.
    So many young women fall prey 
       to outlandish notions that they 
       must have a career 
       to satisfy peers 
       and leave kids with strangers all day
       Why  do those career gals suppose 
       that others should pay through the nose, 
       so  they can pay less 
       for  care they think best, 
       so  they can keep up with the Jones? 
    Should one-income couples pay more 
       in taxes for child-care galore,
       so two-income fam'lies 
       can sample life's candies 
       and  pay less for child-caring chores?.

Historical
ignorance should be deplored... 
but likewise for knowledge that's blithely ignored..
    Abysmal performance in history,
    a subject remaining a mystery
    to seniors in school,
    reveals lack of tools
    to recognize history-twistery.
    When blindness to hist'ry's untreated,
    not only has knowledge been cheated,
    but leaving as myst'ries
    the lessons of hist'ry
    condemns us to often repeat it.
    But leaders in Europe today,
    whose knowledge of hist'ry's okay,
    are blindly acceding
    to hist'ry's repeating
    appeasement:  Saddam gets his way.

and/or the PLA have aided, authorized, or assisted homicide bombers targeting
Israeli civilians?  Will they pass a resolution demanding that Arafat

keep the public off public beaches so the activists' can enjoy their
"privacy" and the aesthetic beauty of sunset on a beach uncluttered by
the ugly presence of the sweating masses. --Jim

Will programs have
Dubya appearing with Bubba?.
    Said Bush, "I'd watch [Clinton, I know,
    but would I appear on his show?
    I oughta stay out
    of Clinton's redoubt
    but might be a guest on his show.]"
    A "legacy" needing repair
    makes Bill want a show on the air,
    but ratings will fail
    unless it entails
    the intimate facts of his public affairs.

Inspired by a report that Dubya said that if Bill Clinton were to anchor a
television show, he'd "watch" it and "might" consider
appearing on the show if he were to be invited..

    There was an ex-POTUS named Bubba
    who got a young intern in trouble.
    His legacy's toast,
    so now he will host
    a program like Springer's, but double.
    While Carter displays Christianity
    with Habitats built for Humanity,
    Slick Willie can host
    a program that toasts
    examples of moral profanity..

Remote-controlled
rats:  Not fiction, but fact;
Improving the lives of frustrated wives!.
   
Today science shocks us with startling new facts
    revealing designs for remote-controlled rats1: 
    Control is attained
    through chips in their brains--
   
If this leaves you startled, hold-on to your hat: 
    A micro-chip-implant's already designed 
    for humans for linking their bodies and minds
    improving the lives
    of frustrated wives
    in ways we described2
in the following lines: 
       A husband-wife scientist-team
       made something for ev'ry wife's dream.
       To make this advance
       each spouse must implant
       a micro-transmitting machine.
    
       The moment a thought is beginning
       the thinker's transmitter is sending
       a digital code
       that promptly will go
       at once to the other's nerve endings.
       If tests go according to plan,
       when brains of the wife give commands
       for lifting her hand,
       the hand of the man
       will promptly obey the command.
       By most wives, this first will be used
       so husbands do chores the wives choose, 
       But soon they'll aim higher
       with secret desires
       for husbands to make the earth move

Inspired by a May 2, 2002, report that a team of scientists have designed
computer-controlled implants in rats' brains to enable the scientists to
remotely control the rats' behavior and movements making them useful tools for
searching within the rubble of collapsed buildings, etc.   Wait 'til
the PeTA crowd hears about this-- they'll want to put the implants in humans and
give the remote controls to the rats ..

 Limitless visions
of Hubble in contrast to terrorist rubble..
    We're stunned by the beauty of pictures from Hubble
    in contrast to pictures of Middle-East troubles--
    from limitless visions
    to terrorist missions--
    Modernity versus medieval rebuttals..
