I wonder when Jesse Jackson is gonna volunteer to save mankind from terrorism?

[FlamingoBlue]

Can you believe it?? Ole Jesse and his buddy, Al Sharpton haven't said anything about making the trip to Afghanastan and speaking to Bin Laden abut ending terrorism, forever. What's up with that???

Don't just laugh -

Jackson's trip to Belgrade two years ago succeeded in the weirdest way: When his peace delegation arrived to discuss freeing the three GIs that the Serbians had grabbed on the Macedonian border, the delegates were fighting so much with one another that Milosevic freaked out, gave the three GIs to Jackson, and asked them all to leave. It's one of the funniest political events I've ever seen, but all's well that ends well, no?

In that light, bin Laden would be so annoyed at Jackson that he would surface to scream at him....

love him or hate him, @least he went.....

I don't hate Jackson -

I just think he's a sanctimonious slob, like so many other of our "moral" leaders. I'm glad he got those GIs freed. I just love such weird, dislocative moments in politics/world events. I'll never forget Bush I barfing on the Japanese PM....

He didn't barf. He blew his blowfish. Wrong cut of sushi.

 

[Problem Child]

This morning Jackson was on the news saying he was planning to go to Afghanistan and negotiate with the Taliban.

I wonder if he'll bring his mistress.

 

[Willing and Unsure]

i think that he needs to learn which fights he should try to fight and which ones he should keep his big mouth out of.. he's going to make a martyr of himself one day if he doesnt learn that soon

 

[miles]

I'll bet he brings along some neat, rhyming slogans.

"Return Bin Ladle
To the Cradle!"

"Don't Nuffin Rhyme Wiff Afganistan!"

"What determines their attitude
Is an attack from high altitude"

"I WAS somebody!"

Ahhh. The Sloganmeister. God love him.

I heard this on the radio on my way home tonight and thought it was a joke. They said the Tailban INVITED Jackson to come and bring a peace coalition. Jackson was considering going if he thought he could save "innocent lives" in Afghanistan by going.

Anyone think there is a chance we can get the Taliban to keep him if the fool actually goes?

They may consider that a tertiost attack.

 

[MissTaken]

You called it, Blue!

Jesse Jackson has, indeed, been invited to Afghanistan to meet with the Taliban and possibly "mediate."


How does he manage to do this? It is puzzling to me how Jesse Jackson appears to be the Great Mediator of our generation!

I am not terribly politically minded, but am learning. So, any thoughts?

LOL

How about:

We will come to a resolution
Of bin Laden's polution
In our revered institutions

My prediction
May bring friction
To the Taliban faction
And cause great reaction

 

[Samuari]

A kinda Scudd warheads

It just occured to me that we might hand cuff Jesse to Rush Limbauh, Dr. Laura, and Howard Stern: then deliver them as a package. I'd surender.

 

[miles]

Do you think Jesse can keep his Jackson in his pants while he's over there?

Can you see him getting a few Afghan women preggo?

 

[MissTaken]

IN the interests of peace?


or in the interests of getting a piece?

 

[Julian]

OH!! I'm sorry. Did I break your concentration?

I'm sorry I thought you meant Samuel L. Jackson...

"Ezekiel 25:17...the path of the riteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he we shepards his brother through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brothers' keeper and a finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee great vengence & furious anger, those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee!"

Delegation my ass!

Adios!

for some reason i can just hear him saying that to the masses...



*shudders at the thought*

The truth is -

He did manage to get Milosevic to free the three captured GIs and it does take some courage to fly there to free those idiotic Christian proselytizers. If he goes, wish him well. Make fun of him all you want later. That's what we all did before- and after - his mission to Belgrade.

 

[Lord Wolf]

You psychic or what? Jesse feels left out and is going to Afghanistan .

Tell me - what are the next lottery numbers?

I seriously doubt the United States will let any citizen, much less Jesse Jackson, "go" to Afghanistan to talk to an oppressive regime we're massing our military to engage in a protracted battle over the government of their nation. Allowing the Taliban to think negotiations are possible will delay resolution and lengthen the amount of time U.S. troops will be in harm's way. Jessie's not meeting with anyone. It won't happen. Trust me.

 

[Skibum]

The Taliban is saying that they never invited Jackson, and a source in Pakistan claims Jesse approached them to arrange for a meeting. Jesse simply can't stand to be out of the limelight.

Now all we need is Jane Fonda posing with bin Laden in a cave outside Kabul.

 

[Mensa]

The Lord works in mysterious ways

Now all we need is Jane Fonda posing with bin Laden in a cave outside Kabul.

Did you know that Jane Fonda has become a born-again Christian and renounced her old ways?

No more Hanoi Hannah, I'm afraid.

Dixon Carter Lee

Me agree
With DC

He isn't going anywhere. This isn't Milosevic. These people are sworn enemies, and he lacks the qualifications and credentials to represent the country.

Smart propaganda move my the Taliban, but the only people who are going to buy it are his minions. Now they can say we refused to negotiate.

Negotiate what? The only thing that will convince the Taliban to behave will be to eliminate them. That can't happen soon enough.

Jesse, go back to what you do best - political blackmail.
