April 22, 2002 -- Secretary of State Colin Powell yesterday said thanks, but no thanks to the latest bids by former Presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter to insert themselves into the Mideast peace process.
"I don't have a role for either of them at the moment, but I'm pleased that they continue to keep their interest in the region," Powell said as he made the rounds on the Sunday talk shows.

And caused the ensuing mess in Israel.
I wonder what was said to them in private. I bet Bush gave them another "Camel in the butt" type response.
Bush's approach to Arafat differs sharply from the two Democratic ex-presidents. His administration has repeatedly refused to threaten Israel with an aid cutoff, putting the onus on Yasser Arafat - not, as Carter did, on the Israeli prime minister.Yet liberal US Jews keep voting Democrat. I almost get the impression that they must be anti-semetic.And while Clinton met with Arafat more than any other foreign leader, Bush refuses to meet him until he does more to stop terror.
I love the obvious snub!
By taking Karter and Klinton down a peg or two, Powell went up a notch or two in my estimation.

Absolutely the two worst stumble-bum America-hating bloody idiot crooks to ever step inside the feral-gummint's administration offices, let alone to be quartered there -- and whose evilly-treasonous screwups have forever made America a less-respected Nation -- and the world a more dangerous place -- and they think they have something anyone wants?
Go away you pair of evil bastards -- and hide your faces in mortal shame!
[Why the next thing you know that execrable coward; Kennedy Crime Family mamber and drowner of inconvenient young women, Teddy, will be running for president, or something]
And caused the ensuing mess in Israel.
Also will never be accused of lacking 'gravitas' .As with both of the 'most intelligent' presidents the US has had in contemporary times , the media continues to fawn over liberal democrat ex-presidents...
TRANSLATION: "Get lost."
Basically a polite way of saying ... GET LOST!!!!
LOL! My favorite Bush quote:
"I'm not gonna fire a $2 million dollar missile at a $10 tent and hit a camel in the butt."
Priceless!!
Curly....er ah....Powell marches to G.W.B's Orders. He neither accepts or declines anything on his own.
And as far as "Moe" and "Larry"? All I can say is *%#X @*$x& (!#*$^!#'+
Powell proved he is a diplomat with that sentence.
Of course, diplomatic phrases can always be decoded. This ones translates roughly to:
"I'd rather clean every toilet in Yankee Stadium with my tongue..."
Liberal American Jews, and Israeli Jews, by and large are two very different creatures.....
