"If Iraq came across the Jordan River . . . I would grab a rifle and get in the trench and fight and die," he said to massive applause.

Apparently, they have forgotten Clinton's letter to Colonel Holmes.

Every time Clinton proclaims this, I sit and wait for a reporter to ask our former President...."If your plan was the best hope for region....why didn't it work?"

BJ says a lot of things, but what right-thinking person finds Clinton credible? Liberals may enjoy BJ for his entertainment value, but I sincerely doubt they take him seriously...or do they?

Stainmaster B makes the false assumption that the Palestinians want peace. What they want is no Israel.

"The former president then delighted the mostly Jewish audience by saying he would always be willing to fight for Israel."

The audience must be senile if they believe this.

The lousy coward would not even fight for his own country!!!!!

Okay, let's take up a collection and buy him a really nice, accurate rifle. Then when Iraq starts attacking Israel - as seems almost inevitable at this point - we'll remind him of his pledge.

Ten bucks says he'll weasel out by saying, "Ah only said if they came across the Jordan River! Missiles and nukes aren't an army!"

Why are we beating ourselves over the head with this jerk again?
DON'T POST ANYTHING ABOUT THIS SELF-ABSORBED FREAK AND MAYBE HE'LL GO AWAY!

Here is a man who can't even manage his own mouth and sex drive, and he expects anyone to actually believe he kows how to manage America. No wonder greed and avarice went completely out of control in the 90's, and all his peace plans and programs where complete flops.

"When the history of this region is written, the failure of the Palestinians to accept former (Israeli) prime minister (Ehud) Barak's acceptance of the peace proposal I put on the table will be viewed as the most colossal error in their history," he said Monday night.

Nothing more than a taxpayer-funded billion dollar payoff to shut up, play kissy face to make him look good, I'm guessing....Isn't that what peace talks ultimately consist of? "How much money will it take to get you to pretend to get along so the Nobel Committee will be impressed with my peacemaking abilities?"

Hey, let's ask Chelsea. She was there, wasn't she?

[goldstategop]

If Clinton's plan was so wonderful, why didn't the participants sign on the bottom line? Cause they knew it stunk, that's why. And no amount of Orwellian revision by the presidential ex felon can disguise the fact his so called Middle East peace plan was a failure from start to finish.

...the conflict in the region showcases the need for co-operation between all nations if the world is to avoid disaster.

The conflict in the region showcases the need for victory by one side or the other. The hope is that the civilized world will win.

As of today I am going to stop reading reports from this reprobate and what he thinks. Not good for MY blood pressure.

In my short 21-year military career I can never remember a similar kind of thing happening. If, after a change-of-command, a former commander routinely came back to the unit he/she had screwed up, criticizing the new boss, someone would get an a** whoopin'.

Tell me this pasty-faced hillbilly didn't really say this. Somebody. Please.

Re #17: You beat me to it. I think this is the one biggest lie I've ever heard in my life. And the "massive applause"? Fine. "Hadassah-Wizo Organization of Canada", you're welcome to take this phony lizard off our hands any time you feel like it. PLEASE. And rest assured, if there is any trench fighting to be done, Sink Boy will be running in the opposite direction at light speed, stepping on your faces. You fools are more stupid than the New Yorkers that elected Hillary!.

I just hope someone got it on video.

More likely he grab a white flag and get out of town and soil his pants.
