Good Morning!

Ugh, Bill Clinton explains how peace might have been achieved between the Palis and Israel:

.... Clinton’s face, urgent and animated in admiration for (Moshe) Dayan, turned somber as he recalled another Israeli general, Ariel Sharon, who, three decades later, deliberately crossed this line of wisdom in search of right-wing votes.

Barak was prime minister then, and under political pressure from a surging Sharon who attacked the peace efforts predictably, describing them as “sell-out”. Sharon wanted to provoke the Arabs and mobilize Israeli hard-liners behind him. Clinton advised Barak to stop Sharon’s visit to the Temple Mount. Barak replied that he could not legally do so, and persuasion was beyond his capabilities.

A mixture of regret and excitement filled Clinton’s voice [Oh please] as he recalled his next suggestion to Barak. First, ensure that there are enough policemen to prevent any violence. Then ask a young Palestinian girl, alone, to wait for Sharon with a bouquet of flowers in her hand. She should give him the flowers, and add one sentence: “You are most welcome to come here every day when there is peace.”

That single image, Clinton believes, would have etched a place in the heart of the region and the mind of the world; it would have defined the future.

Was America’s extraordinary president being naïve? Had his deep conviction in peace blurred harsher truths?

No. Clinton understood what mapmakers and wall-builders do not; that peace, like love, first begins in the heart. Only then does it start to search for statistics, arguments and a saleable rationale. As I heard him describe what might have been I could feel my own emotions stir at such a simple, beautiful and powerful image. It was an idea of pure genius, typical of a man who had sought the impossible in his own life — and found it. ... full story, Arab News

I continue to amaze myself. I cannot believe I figured out how to do this. I saved my notes, so I'll be able to do it again.

Good one IG! :-)

Well done - and here I'd given up hope of your ever posting pics...

Now if you want to < center > your posts, just tighten up the pointy things.

Cheers, all.

In case anyone missed this news...

Hillary to Troops: Support for War Fading

Describing two meetings with G.I.s over turkey dinners in Baghdad, Sen. Clinton told reporters later that soldiers wanted to know "how the people at home feel about what we are doing."

Clinton said she told the troops, "Americans are wholeheartedly proud of what you are doing but there are many questions at home about the (Bush) administration's policies."

She also suggested that the U.S. could eventually loose the war in Iraq, contending, "We have to exert all of our efforts militarily, but the outcome is not assured."

And if you're like me, one who questions NewMax, mountaineer provides a link to another source for the witch's quote. Click here.

Another topic... Clark is on CNN right now. If I hear that idiot say one more time how there were no American casualties during the Kosovo war I'm gonna scream.

Alas, my pointy things are no longer centered,,,, gravity, you know!

[Iowa Granny]

I've read that entire thread. For those who doubt NewsMax, the NYDaily News and the Buffalo News printed similar articles. This is for real, it was not imagined by NewsMax

[lodwick]

Good grief - LOL.

OMG, Clinto with the pali girl in flowers idea? What a joke. Why not carry the little vignette further and have the Pali girl lay those flowers on an Israeli grave. Now there's some powerful imagery.

Kind of puts a wet damper on the Dimwits, doesn't it?

IG inspired me to attempt to post a photo!

Heard on Fox News this morning of a Clinton fund raiser pleading guilty to no-no's in NY and Hollywood. Direct ties to DaKnees. Deborah Norville may want to be a little less chummy!

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

What I won't be wearing for Christmas this year.

[Iowa Granny]

Well done!

And I cannot resist the observation that Debra seems to be the only one in the photo who hasn't tangled with gravity and lost!

[Iowa Granny]

I cannot imagine you wearing such stuff. It never entered my mind you would wear duds like this.

[CheneyChick]

What do you call that look? Hogan's Heroes-Pippi Longstocking-Frederick'sofHollywood?

It might be a nice surprise under the White Lynx tomorrow!
