Why Bill Clinton said he would "fight and die" for Israel?
831339
It's called hyperbole.\n\nClinton is stating how closely he feels Israel is a friend and ally who must be supported, and he's colorfully illustrating how strongly he feels about it.\n\nHe wouldn't really pick up a rifle and go to a trench.  Just like people don't literally mean they will plant a foot in your buttocks when they say things like "kick your @ss"\n\nEdit:  Apparently one of the posters above thinks taking a deferrment is the same as leaving the country.  That puts almost the entire Bush administration in the same boat as Clinton, along with most of the right-wing talking heads.\n\nThat person also believes that Oxford is in Canada.  Maybe he/she should post a question in the geography section, since Clinton didn't actually spend time in Canada during the Viet Nam conflict.

He's one of the greatest presidents we've ever had.\n\nHe's got the guts to do what Clinton didn't....go after the terrorists and protect our country and us!

Israel as a country will probably not be wiped from the earth, but satan would love nothing better than to destroy the whole Hebrew race.  Satan is crafty but sometimes a little hide bound.  He thinks Jesus will come again for the Jews.  So satan believes if he can destroy the whole race then Jesus will never come again and he,satan, will not get his punishment.\n\nSo I guess I agree with Pastor Hagee.  He is a little gruff sometimes though.

Wasnt it Clinton, who once he got in office, thought of the homosexuals as a higher priorty then too......  Pelosi wont do anything to better the war, she will end up getting more killed, maybe even on American soil!

Israel is a terrorist state backed by America and assisting it in its fight against Islam. Unless Muslim states join together and fight against these terrorists this killing will continue.

Bill Clinton, he is the great deceiver, wounded but healed and wants to be part of the U.N. or first world president. Sounds like the Antichrist to me.

Acting on "Bad Intellegence" bush has, with his war, killed countless thousands. Clinton had consentual sex with an of-age woman, then lied about it when he got caught. Obviously, Clinton is the anti-christ.

well let's put it this way.  God swore to defend the jews for all time. a promise from the Almighty Himself. And no one is in combat like israel these days. they don't take sh*t from anyone!!!! so if war, in itself, were intrinsically evil, God would have allowed the demise of israel (and the US for that matter) long ago for all the wars they have been in.\n\nGod does NOT want or desire war in any way!! however, he does not desire you to just passively let people hurt you. would God expect you to let a starnge man rape and murder you child????

Because our media is biased to favor government policies and the current administration so this comment was not reported in the US at the time it happened. \n I only heard it myself about two years ago and have to say I am not surprised. The nation of Israel was only created so that we would something in the middle east to stir up animosity amongst the arabs.

I think that's a pertinent question for some brave reporter to ask King George in the next press conference.  He can refer back to GW's earlier quotes:\n\n"I feel like God wants me to run for President. I can't explain it, but I sense my country is going to need me. Something is going to happen... I know it won't be easy on me or my family, but God wants me to do it."\n--George W. Bush commenting to Texas evangelist James Robinson in the run-up to his presidential campaign \n\n"God told me to strike at al Qaeda and I struck them, and then he instructed me to strike at Saddam [Hussein], which I did, and now I am determined to solve the problem in the Middle East. If you help me I will act, and if not, the elections will come and I will have to focus on them."\n--Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Abu Mazen quoting Bush when they met in Aqaba; reported in The Haaretz Reporter by Arnon Regular\n\n"I don't think that witchcraft is a religion. I wish the military would rethink this decision." - to ABC NEWS, June 1999, regarding Ft. Hood's decision to allow Wiccan rituals \n\nI think people attack me because they are fearful that I will then say that you're not equally as patriotic if you're not a religious person. ... I've never said that. I've never acted like that. I think that's just the way it is. (Washington Times, 12 January 2005) \n\nI trust God speaks through me. Without that, I couldn't do my job. \nreportedly said to a group of Old Order Amish as published by the Lancaster New Era, July 16, 2004. [89]

You need to be well informed to answer this old-new question.\nMonica is Jewish that is a fact no one can deny.\nWhy did Monica keep her dress unwashed is a fact no one dare to question.\nWhy did she report the president of USA \nWhy the president was not impeached \nWhy Hillary became senator from New York where Jews live\nClinton wanted to have a lasting Peace in the Middle East but Israel was not ready for lasting peace so some one must stop him by all means and he was stoped step by step where he got his wife elected by Jews in New York\nLook what Sharon said after Monica case:"Every time we do something you tell me America will do this and will do that . . . I want to tell you something very clear: Don't worry about American pressure on Israel. We, the Jewish people, control America, and the Americans know it." -- Ariel Sharon to Shimon Peres, October 3rd, 2001, as reported on Kol Yisrael

totally agree with you . Israel is nothing but a rotten land filled with filthy creatures.\nAmericans are just nurturing them on american tax payer money.\nIsraelies cannot live on their own so to protect them they need american military and soldiers who can fight for them with their life.

It is not too soon for Clinton. His impact has left us in a terrible pickle. Several acts of war, bombing the World Trade Center, the Cole, the Embassy--and he did nothing. As a result? 9/11. Forcing Israel to play nice with Arafat. More Israelis died under his watch than all the wars Israel fought for its freedom. All this is documented and its not too early to see his impact.\n\nI looked back on Carter, and yes, he really made some bone moves. I remember the gas lines, and dealing with the hostages for MONTHS and the failed rescue attempt. Both these guys knew nothing about dealing with terrorists. They could have learned alot from Israel during that time.\n\nI did some research, and thought there were decisions made here and there by other presidents that might not have been that great, the two above pale in comparison.

Because "...so many Senetors & Wall street bigwigs are Jewish" like the person before me so cleverly said. There is no other reason to support this Jewish Aparthied State, I'm not anti-semetic or racists or whatever you call the person who criticizes anything Jewish, I'm simply stating that your life inside the Israeli system is worthless if you are not Jewish, you're a third degree citizen and you are not respected. \nBesides, If the USA supported the Arabs, the Arabs are people of honor, they would have been good friends and if it wasn't for our unjust support to Israel at the expense of the rightful Palestinians who we helped Israel occupy and torture and kill and do nasty things to, we would have had so much to teach, and so much to learn from the Arabs. We would have grown together instead of supporting this political entity that is called Israel that is an expert in misrepresenting truths and making it's occupation of PALESTINIAN TERRITORY since 1967 look like a legal thing. Name one country that is under occupation in 2006!!?? It's PALESTINE. International Law gives every right to the Palestinians to defend themselves because they are under occupation. Do not forget that there are 1.4 BILLION Muslims and 320 Million Arabs. I wouldn't continue pissing them off and acting like an arrogant person if I was in some people's shoes. The world Needs a BIG PUSH to FORCE ISrael to RETURN PALESTINE to the Palestinians, or we will never ever have peace in the Middle East, it's simple, those 8 Million Palestinians want thier country and this is what it's about, The stuff of George Washington fighting for America's independence, is the stuff of Palestinians fighting the Zionist Israeli Occupiers for thier independence. There's no hiding it.

Friends of Bill, hence a quote from Clinton.

Nobody Died When Clinton Died???\n\nAS AMERICANS DEBATE what President Clinton’s legacy should be, too little attention is given to his remarks on Kosovo. The United States launched a war against a European nation largely at Clinton’s behest. Clinton’s war against Serbia epitomized his moralism, his arrogance, his refusal to respect law, and his fixation on proving his virtue by using deadly force, regardless of how many innocent people died in the process.\n\nClinton claimed on March 24, 1999, that one purpose of bombing Serbia (including Kosovo) was “to deter an even bloodier offensive against innocent civilians in Kosovo and, if necessary, to seriously damage the Serbian military’s capacity to harm the people of Kosovo.” The CIA had warned the Clinton administration that if bombing was initiated, the Serbian army would greatly accelerate its efforts to expel ethnic Albanians. The White House disregarded this warning and feigned surprise when mass expulsions began.\n\nYet NATO Supreme Commander Gen. Wesley Clark said on March 26 that the upsurge in crackdowns on ethnic Albanians was “entirely predictable.” Since NATO had no ground forces in the area ready to intervene and since NATO planes stayed three miles above the ground to minimize pilot casualties, NATO could do nothing to stop the surge in ethnic cleansing. Violence spurred by the bombing was quickly invoked as the ultimate justification for the bombing.\n\nThe longer the bombing went on, the more brazenly NATO ignored the limits it had initially imposed on its targets in order to limit civilian casualties. In the final weeks of the 78-day war, all that mattered was finding new targets so that NATO spokesmen could continue their daily bragging about a “record number of sorties flown” and “record number of bombs dropped.” According to Human Rights Watch, at least 500 civilians were killed by NATO bombing; the Yugoslavian government claimed that 2,000 civilians were killed. NATO repeatedly dropped cluster bombs into marketplaces, hospitals, and other civilian areas.\n\nAs Serbian civilian casualties rose, purported Serbian atrocities mushroomed. On May 13, 1999, Clinton declaimed that “there are 100,000 people [in Kosovo] who are still missing” — clearly implying that they might have been slaughtered. Clinton also claimed that 600,000 ethnic Albanians could be “trapped within Kosovo itself, lacking shelter, short of food, afraid to go home, or buried in mass graves dug by their executioners.”\n\nHowever, once the bombing stopped, the Clinton administration was stunned to see the Serbian army withdraw in fine order with polished buttons and good morale. A confidential postwar U.S. military investigation concluded that the damage claims had been exaggerated nearly tenfold. In reality, only 14 tanks, 18 armored personnel carriers, and 20 artillery pieces were taken out, despite the claimed dropping of more than 20,000 bombs on the Serbian military.\n\nSo over 600,000 suffering, 100,000 missing, and thousands dead.

Bill Clinton answered that when he basically did nothing about the attack on the USS Cole. Liberals hate anything military (more or less)
