There is no lie if you parse the statement…
“…the former president last spoke with Obama during a White House visit in March.”
That may very well be.

In the world of the post-modernist, the phrase “solely private mission”, can mean just about anything… solely private probably refers to the fact it wasn’t Air Force One (or the Pelosi Carbon Express).

From the perspective of disbelievers in Truth, anything can be, or is true (depending what the definition of “is” is).

are currently writing and/or have already agreed on the fastest way to take advantage of “his” weakness. Not all dictators are created equal, but most are smart enough to realize 2 heads are better than 1.

And your “tests failed” is Beautiful.

Russian subs make me leery. Molotov-Ribbentrop… The list Churchill showed Stalin, who made a check mark indicating thumbs up. Not to be outdone, will Putin challenge The One to a naked chest contest?

the difference now is that Bush acted to remind Putin that he has no hesitance to use force. Obama has made it plain he will not.

Sad, but true!

From an Australian news source:

“His latest posturing came as Russia continued to flex its political muscle.

Last night Moscow claimed neighbour Georgia was re-arming with the aim of waging a military conflict, amid rising tensions ahead of the anniversary of the states’ August 2008 war.

“We clearly see that Georgia is re-arming to previous levels and higher” than before the 2008 conflict, Russia’s deputy chief of staff General Anatoly Nogovitsin said.

Russia warned it would hit back if the Georgian provocations continued. Georgia denied any violations of the ceasefire and in turn accused Russia of breaking the truce.

Earlier yesterday Moscow shrugged off a report that Russian submarines had renewed patrols off the US coast and said any movements of its vessels were legal.

“Activities of Russian submarines in the world’s oceans outside their own waters do not violate international maritime law and are within normal practice,” an official said. ”

See? No story here, move along!

Nothing to worry about, except from American fear-mongerers who would like to reignite the Cold War to help their allies in the weapons industry! “The One” is right to play it cool!

If only!

showing off his chest while riding a horse (ultimate masculine symbol, and co-opting the American symbol of the cowboy) has appeared at the same time that his submarines are patrolling our coast.

As I mentioned under my diary about North Korea, propaganda symbolism matters to dictators: here we have Putin strutting his stuff physically and militarily and daring our pacifistic Anorexic In Chief to do something about it.

Weakness is an invitation.
The Democrats have spent the last four years telling the whole world how much they despise the military,respect the terrorists and have no stomach for conflict. Apparently someone was listening.
Obama’s State Dept. is so weak that he had to send Bill Clinton to NoKo to get the two girls back.
I had no idea Bill Clinton worked for the State Dept. I was under the impression it was his wife that ran things over there.
I also would like to know who provided that gigantic jet he was on since the State Dept claimed that Clinton was not acting on behalf of Obama.

The report said Clinton then conveyed a message from President Obama “expressing profound thanks for this and reflecting views on ways of improving the relations between the two countries.”

But White House spokesman Robert Gibbs told reporters in Washington before the announced agreement that Clinton was not carrying any message — written or oral — from Obama.

Gibbs added that the former president last spoke with Obama during a White House visit in March. He described Clinton’s trip as a “solely private mission to secure the release of two Americans.”

Someone is lying.
