LONDON - Former US president Bill Clinton told BBC television on Friday that he would shake hands with Hamas if they provided the same assurances on rejecting terror as the late Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat.
Clinton spoke as the US State Department announced that the United States had suspended all contact with the Palestinian government led by Hamas, who won an overwhelming victory in the Palestinian general election in January.
Clinton, whose eight-year presidency ended in 2001, said he would be prepared to support dealing with the Islamist group if they agreed to negotiate and turn their backs on terrorism.
The United States, European Union and Israel all regard Hamas as a terrorist organisation, given its track record of suicide bombings and its refusal to recognise Israel’s right to exist.
Asked if he would shake hands with Hamas in the name of negotiation as he did with Arafat in 1993, Clinton said: “If they made the same assurances that Arafat did.
“He had made private assurances, and he made public assurances, that he did not support terror any more and would try to restrain it.
“So if Hamas would say, suppose they say, OK, look, we can’t change our theory, we can’t change our document, we can’t change our history, but we’re in government now and the policy of the Palestinian government is no to terror and yes to negotiations. As long as we’re in government, we’ll honour that policy.
“If they did that, I would support dealing with them.”
Anyone who would shake hands with that slimeball deserves every disease in the books...... and more.
I watched a little of Clinton's total CRAP with Larry Suspenders King last night................ and I puked all over the floor.
or how about.....
Devil in a pant suit....2008....an evil odyssey.
Oh yes Bill then what about your wife kissing Yasser Arafat's wife Suha. and giving money through the Tides Foundation to Hamas and all the other terrorist groups..BTW so does George Soros,Terry Heinze Kerry,etc,etc...give money that is..Folks do not trust these creeps,if they had of had their way for their twenty pieces of silver we would be speaking Chinese by now.
Will someone please tell the Bubba this means HIM? And that he is no longer relevant to anyone but himself and his groupie media who would like to see him as UN Secretary or at the very least a Nobel Prize winner.
"So if Hamas would say, suppose they say, OK, look, we can’t change our theory, we can’t change our document, we can’t change our history, but we’ve palmed a large untraceable check in our hand..."
Thanks for sharing.
"Every once in a while this traitor reminds us that he wasn't that smart after all."
I agree...
Too scary ... but then, there's Hillary .....
So. Tell the world Bill, and especially tell those innocent Israelis who died in terrorists attacks after Yasser's assurances he was rejecting terror, just how reliable the assurances from a lying SOB is.
Speaking of lying SOBs: How ya doin' Bil?
Note to Bill Clinton:
You WERE the President of the US, you aren't any longer. We don't care who you would shake hands with, so, STFU and go away!
Ah, well then you need to buy the new "Barf-Alert Model 1000"!
What does it do?
The "Barf-Alert Model 1000" connects to your tv, once the unit has been activated it scans a couple of minutes into the future for "puke inducing" content. Should such content be found it will promptly flash the words "BARF ALERT" in big bold letters across your screen. Never again will you puke all over your floor, no more messy clean up!
If you act now, you can get the "BARF ALERT" auto-channel changer free! Yes, that's right we said free!
:)
... we can’t change our theory, we can’t change our document, we can’t change our history...BUT...
Yep, that sounds JUST LIKE Bubba!
LOL! Keyboard spared. Now that takes lots of coordination and self control.
Write a "how to" book, on that. One book would be less expensive than replacing multiple puke saturated keyboards.
I'm sure Bubba would be happy to climb into bed with them too. In more ways than one.
Youve got that right.
Clinton would do a lot more than shake their hand , he would and is kissing their ass.
That's a photo begging for a caption.
How about,"I wish I could give you up"?
Clinton would shake anyone's hand for a few bucks...remember Charlie Tree!!
"Takes one to know one" as they say. Those of us who aren't very smart, saw through this POS right away and found him an insult to our intelligence. Blame the reign of Bill on the intellectuals-stupidity is incurable.
I'm sure he meant it too, and it says all that needs to be said about that malfeasant incompetent pervert. Hamas better have lots of Purell available.
I just did a quick search of the BBC site but couldn't find anything as I don't know what BBC T channel it was on or, if it was part of a formal regularly sceduled sit down interview program or if it was just the "Bent One" answering a question asked by a reporter on the street. Can someone else try and find the article/transcript/video?
