OK--When does it get bad enough for Clinton to say SOMETHING??
First, the total blank check to Sharon....no honest broker in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict for over 3 years.......

Now, this mess ready to explode over the killing of the Hamas leader (2nd one in the last few weeks)

Bush doesn't see fit to even INFORM Abdulah of Jordan, our closest Arab ally, about the Sharon deal...

I mean, when does someone with a grasp of how the world works to stand up and call Bush out on all this crap??

The irony...the globalists/Bushitas push their business interests without any regard to how the world with react. It's globalization, but without the understanding that the world is interconnected....a frequent Clinton theme....

1. I Guess Clinton Could Write An Angry Letter To The Times
or give a policy speech which would be preempted for a shark attack........

:(

Perhaps Clinton's book will have something about this.

2. Clinton is NOT the President. He is NOT the candidate.
He is NOT going to say anything that Kerry will have to live with or that might distract from Kerry being looked to for answers.

Clinton is NOT the selfish egomaniac that Nader is.

3. Carter is not the President either but he speaks up...
Does the rule only apply to recent ex-POTUSes or people wrongfully impeached?

4. Carter is not the lightning rod that Clinton is to the repubs....
if Clinton were to come out with criticism, he would become the story, not bush or the neocons. Clinton, I have NO doubt, is working very hard behind the scenes.

5. Clinton's baby was the Middle East...he has expertise...we need
Edited on Sat Apr-17-04 09:28 PM by Gloria
expertise. And...CRITICISM of this mob....

I'm already sick of Kerry, parroting the approval of the Sharon deal AND pushing for US command in Iraq...which is also a Bush line....we can't endure a rerun of the 2002 debacle...

8. Well...he was the last ELECTED president, but he has no power now...
...because the NeoCon Junta is in charge.

7. You're probably right....the new crowd has done a real job for us...
first, they shoved Gore aside; Clinton is trotted out for a few eveents, but it's the Will Marshalls of the world who are in charge now....

I'm totally fed up. Caucused today here in NM....nobody has clue.

9. Actually, nobody is going to say anything
And that really makes me wonder why. If Israel is sooooooo acutely aware of one of "their" enemies, they can pick out and blow up one of "their" enemies, why can't they find and blow up Bin Laden? Hmmmm

Is that short enough.

PS: I am frankly tired of the most tax burdened and powerful nation on earth, suffering from the Israeli policies and military actions. I begin to wonder if Israel is not the most powerful?

Why do we continue to support, aid and arm this murderous regime. And would 911 even have occurred if we did not?

10. This nation does not dare
or have the guts, at present--and I am not certain Clinton ever did, or any other president since 1948--to speak against Israeli policies or military actions. Not if the want to continue in office.

Religion is an unimpeachable source, and the right wing fundamentalists need Israel to bring the second coming. I do hope they are all raptured up soon.

As the Jenkins and Lahaye new translation of (what's the word, ummmm)(what are those toys and cartoon characters called? You know, the super guys?) is read and absorbed by the (aha) superheroes of their super patriotic, super Christians, who just happened to be "left behind manage to convey to the true believers (misguided believers, IMHO), the Nation of Israel, the government of Israel, the military of Israel can do no wrong. This has absolutely nothing to do with Jews who may live anyplace else in the world. Only Israel.

We do not send American taxpayer dollars or American weapons to the Jews all over the world. Only to Israel.

You vote for it? You get it. Don't blame Clinton.

11. It is YOUR job,
not Clinton's to speak to those issues. You are entitled to speak by voting for everybody from the dog catcher on up. If you don't like the way the government is going, don't look for past presidents as scapegoats.

Make yourself heard at your local level. If you dare.
