Peace Is At Hand
The Toronto Star says that Bill Clinton has a plan.
It's very simple, really. Just establish a Palestinian state. Now.
And he's serious. At least as serious as Bill Clinton ever is about anything (other than getting even with his enemies).
But this was my favorite part:
Clinton drew applause for his own commitment to Israel when he stated that should the Iraqis ever cross over the Israeli border for aggression, "I would personally get in a ditch, grab a rifle, and fight and die."
It's not clear if the applause was because they actually believed the old draft dodger (possible, in a Canadian audience that was apparently there voluntarily), because it was such a side-splitting joke, or because the image itself was so hilarious.
Anyway, it's obvious that Mr. Clinton has no military experience (though he finally managed to learn how to salute after eight years of practice). One doesn't generally find rifles in ditches. But it wouldn't be surprising to find Bill Clinton in one...

You know, if we could just get Clinton and Jesse Jackson to sit down with Arafat and Sharon, this whole Mideast thing would be solved.
But Clinton has just cut the legs out from under the peace process by removing any incentive for Sharon to make concessions. After all, if he knows he can count on Clinton in combat, what does he have to fear?

Now Clinton would get in a ditch if there were some attartive sheep in it!

What does he mean, "get in the ditch"? Has he ever been out of the ditch?

The only way Clinton would climb in a ditch is if an intern was in it first. And forget the Toronto (Red) Star - bunch of liberal wankers who've got their head so far up their collective (no pun intended) ass they can't see daylight any longer.
