Clinton says he would have died for Israel

By Khalid Hasan

WASHINGTON: Former US President Bill Clinton who many Arab thoughts was more even-handed on the Palestine question than his predecessors shocked many when he asserted in Toronto last week that had Israel been attacked by Iraq or Iran during his presidency, he would have been ready to “grab a rifle, get in a ditch and fight and die.”

“The Israelis know that if the Iraqi or the Iranian army came across the Jordan River, I would personally grab a rifle, get in a ditch, and fight and die,” Clinton told the crowd at a fund-raising event for a Toronto Jewish charity Monday.

Bill Clinton was the only president to duck under the table whenever a 21 gun salute was fired. That coward will never purposely put himself in harms way.

Politicians have a tendency to exaggerate the level of patriotism they actually have, and the level to which they would sacrifice in the efforts to defend liberty. So of course he was exaggerating. However, do you believe Bush would be more inclined to take up arms against Israel’s adversaries? I don’t think so. Both men, like most presidents, hide in their ivory towers and allow other men to die for their verbal profession of their love for this country, with the difference that Bush tends to posture more concerning patriotism than Clinton ever did.

I don't think Clinton would die to save his own child or mother, let alone anyone else.

Clinton is JUST so full of shiit. The term "congenital liar" describes him perfectly.
