Bush Derides Clinton's Mideast Work

Fri Apr 5, 8:25 PM ET

By RON FOURNIER, AP White House Correspondent

CRAWFORD, Texas -

President Bush says the Mideast summit sponsored by former President
Clinton resulted in a "significant intefadeh," or uprising, repeating
an accusation his press secretary got in trouble for uttering.

CRAWFORD, Tex. --

As Israeli troops and tanks stormed Yasser Arafat's compound today,
President Bush played with his dogs, went for a jog and worked around
his ranch.

With tensions rising and other world leaders speaking out, Bush's
aides stalled, initially saying they were deciding what to say, then
declaring in their first official statement that they were monitoring
and assessing the situation.

And he has the nerve to say, "I expect leadership." I'd laugh if so
many people weren't being killed because of HIS lack of leadership.

Nothing but an ignorant attempt to deflect attention away from his total
lack of leadership. Bill Clinton caused no violence in the Middle
East. People in the Middle East caused the violence and Clinton
actually got out of his pickup and tried to help.

The "intefadeh" started after Sharon walked his fat ass on the temple
mount and taunted the Palestinians. Sharon has never wanted a
Palestinian state. Some Palestinians don't want to recognize Israel.
If nothing is done to stop the violence those extremists (on both sides)
will continue to kill innocent civilians. Bush has the power to make
the situation better, but he refuses. I wonder why? What profit could
there be?

What's new? In 1991, while the UN was preparing for the Gulf War,
Bush the elder was riding around in his cigarette boat!

What did the most pro terrorist President of all time, B.J.
Clinton, ever do to promote peace anywhere. Clinton treated
Yassar Afrafat not at the terrorist he was, and is, but some
kind of respectable leader. It was Clinton who wined and dined
Arafat at the White House and treated him like royalty.

In stark contrast, President George W. Bush is putting
expectations on both Israel and the Palestians. Bush had made it
clear that Israel should disengage from Palestine areas and that
Palestinian leadership should step up to stop the Palestian
violence. Note that Bush did not restrict his call for Palestian
leadership to Arafat. Bush has made it clear, as Clinton never
did, that peace require action from both sides.

Clinton made the mistake of assuming, or pretending, that Arafat
was the key to Middle East peace. It becoming increasingly
clear that Arafat is not the key to peace but rather a
distraction from peace.

He enjoys those rare occasions when he's with things he's smarter
than -- like
his dogs. I'm not sure what Bush's IQ is but I would be willing to
conjecture that it's about

Please enumerate some of these "stark contrasts". In particular, what is
your basis for the assertion that CLinton didn't "put expectations" on the
Palestinians ?

Not true. Clinton worked tirelessly to facilitate dialogue, and try to get
both sides to come to make some serious commitments to peace. Arafat chose
not to accept the terms put to him.

> Clinton made the mistake of assuming, or pretending, that Arafat
> was the key to Middle East peace.

This was not Clintons choice to make. Clintons job was to facilitate the
negotiations, not to tell Israel how it should conduct its foreign policy, or
who Israel should negotiate with. Wouldn't it be awfully stupid for the Clinton
whitehouse to anger the Arab world, undermine both Israel and the Palestinians,
and sabotage peace negotiations by saying that they didn't want to talk to the
recognised (by the Israeli government, and the rest of the world) Palestinian
leader ?

The fallacy of your argument is that you are not looking at the policy of
either administrations in the context of other factors, including the level of
violence, the policy of the Israeli leadership, and the status of negotiations.

Bullshit.

B.J. Clinton never worked for peace a single day in his life.

Clinton quest for a Nobel Peace Prize consisted of pressuring
Israel to accept Palestinian demands and treating the terrorist
Yasser Arafat as some kind of knighted hero. All Clinton's peace
initiative did was to inspire Arafat to reignite the Intifada.

Dialogue does not and can not produce peace. Peace only results
when all combatants have a mutually acceptable version of a
peace. As the only peace acceptable to the Palestinians is one
without an Israel, for Israel peace is not possible unless Israel
ceases to exist.

Unless the Palestinians are willing to accept the existence of
the State of Israel, there nothing to negotiate.

You keep repeating this, but don't make any sort of coherent argument that it's
the case.

Again, completely false. First, it was *Baraks* peace initiative. Second, it
was the breakdown of the negotiations that resulted in escalating tensions.
Third, any idiot can be a hindsight expert.

Obviously, that's what Camp David attempted to establish.

Not only this is not true, it is in direct contradiction with the view of
the Bush administration, so I suggest you take Bush and Powell to task.

The Palestinians have already signed agreements that require them to accept
such a thing, so at least on paper, they already do this.

Gee, and all this time I thought Bush was pres if the US and Sharon was pres
of Israel when actually, Bill Clinton has been controlling everything !!!

The fact is that the current violence was brought about by Sharon and Arafat.

It might also have to do with future arms sales and the need for Israel
to depend on the US. It would seem, though, that peace would only make
it easier for the US to do business in that region--in the long run. I
think it also has to do with the party in charge; Bush would rather see
a conservative government than a liberal government (and the
conservatives don't want a peace deal apparently).

Must be some things we just don't know that are motivating the lack of
action and concern. And I'm sure it has to do with money and power.

Do you understand how to discuss an issue, or do you only desire to
express your obsession with Clinton? When Clinton was President, peace
accords were reached and the Israeli army wasn't threatening an
internationally recognized leader of a people.

And so far it seems that no one gives a crap about his "expectations."
Some leader!

That is ignorant bullshit. Clinton actually met with, and got the two

LOL. You really don't understand the situation, do you. Sharon does
not want peace. Period. And Bush doesn't seem to really care one way
or the other. The only reason he is doing anything now (finally) is
because of the political criticism at home. Polling!

Wake up!

How did Bill Clinton cause any violence in the Middle East? He couldn't
and he didn't. The extremists are responsible: Sharon and the extremist
Palestinians are responsible. And Bush can help solve the problem like
Clinton was trying to do. But since Clinton left office, the situation
has only gotten worse. And it is obvious to everyone but for blind
partisans who will blame Clinton for EVERYTHING wrong and credit Bush
for non-existent positives.

He knows it is an outright lie. He doesn't care. He just wants to bash

Depends on the dogs. He is no doubt dumber than the one dog who woke

than the other dog (I emphasize "probably").

Perhaps you'd best consider the thrashing Barak got in the last
election there before doing any further extrapolation, Don.

>This was not Clintons choice to make.

Yes, it was. If you know something is not going to work, you don't
force the parties into a fruitless road. Clinton did that. Purpose?
Obscuring his own legal problems.


>Clintons job was to facilitate the
>negotiations, not to tell Israel how it should conduct its foreign policy, or
>who Israel should negotiate with.

So, explain why he was spending all of his time pushing Barak into
giving away the store. I've said it before:


From Oslo to Camp David, Clinton has pushed Israel to the bargaining
table, and pressured her to give up vital strategic and cultural
assets she has no business giving away, if survival is at all on her
agenda. Ehud Barak, by his giving into Bill Clinton (who, along with
his staff including Jim Carville, did much to put Barak into office),
has done little more than demonstrate just how empty the
Palestinians' peace talk really is, and how desperate Clinton was to
be seen as a good President, his crimes against his oaths not
withstanding.

Consider....

At Clinton's insistence, Barak offered Arafat the keys to the
kingdom; just about all of the West Bank and Gaza, plus East Jerusalem
and even Palestinian sovereignty over the Temple Mount. How do the
peace loving Palestinians respond? Yasser Arafat turned it all down,
and gave us another few nights of headlines, filled with kids in the
street throwing stones, and being shot, occasionally. He also sent his
armed forces, (You recall, they're supposed to be policemen?) to fire
at the Israelis, apparently hoping for an excuse to tell the rest of
the world how Israel is a war-mongering nation.

Of course that should have been a signal to about anyone with a brain
that he didn't give a damn about peace. All he and his followers are
interested in is the destruction of Israel. It should have also been a
signal that Clinton's attempt at a legacy backfired, big time, and
more, that it didn't have a chance to start with.... something that
Clinton should have known, did he have any understanding of the
situation at all. You will recall, perhaps that back in 1992, Clinton
more or less bragged he had no understanding of matters of foreign
policy. This was never quite so clear as during this monstrosity Mr.
Clinton unleashed on the world.

For Israel's part, all of this has been laid at the feet of Ehud
Barak, perhaps unfairly. No, I don't think he was the man for the job,
and clearly was only in the PM's position because Clinton's people
worked so hard to get him there, apparently hoping to set up Clinton's
brokering a of peace deal. Easy to do when you have the PM of Israel
owing you his election. But Barak apparently was under pressures he
had no control of, having nothing to do with politics at home, or the
Palestinians... both of which were quite out of his control to begin
with, in any event.. He was concerned with Israel continuing to get
support from the US. In this concern, he saw Israel as being on the
controlled end of the puppet's string... and knowing that if he did
not capitulate to Clinton's demands, that vital US support would
wither as quickly as Benjamin Netenyau's prime ministership did, when
it became clear he wasn't going to buckle to Clinton's concession
demands.

And Barak wasn't alone, nor was the left in Israel, in this perception
of US control versus Israel's survival. Yitzhak Rabin, hardly a
liberal even by American standards and certainly not under Bill
Clinton's extortion based control to the extent that Barak was, saw
the same problems. His longtime friends, according reports I've seen,
tell us he was deeply troubled over the prospect of losing US
support... and therefore bought into the 'land for peace' deals being
brokered by the liberals in the US. This was something I predicted he
wouldn't have done.

Israeli voters, seeing this happening, and clearly annoyed with the US
control over Israel's dealings with the Palestinians, trounced Barak
in the polls. Unless one considers this anger, the election of Ariel
Sharon, his replacement, is hard to fathom, since he has never been
overly popular, as best I can tell. But perhaps the people of Israel
are finally figuring out what the real story is.. that in truth, there
is no dealing with the Palestinians, and Arifat.

One hopes that they've not been too late in coming to this conclusion.
If they are, world war seems fairly certain to me... possibly nuclear
in nature.

However... also of great import, I think, and far more certain, is
the damage that has been done to our ability to deal with other
countries on the world stage, even on the assumption that Israel
survives all they've given away under Clinton's threats. Our foreign
policy influence has been diminished, because other countries, seeing
what has gone on with Israel, one of our best friends, will trust us
less, when we come with the helping hand. They'll be, perhaps,
wondering what the OTHER hand is doing. And after Bill Clinton, who
could blame them?

And no... as much as I loathe Mr. Clinton and everything he stands
for, I'm not piling on. I am simply issuing a warning that the damage
he has caused will take a while to heal, if it will ever do so. And
that we should avoid making such choices in the next several
elections. Never again should we as a nation or as a world, allow
ourselves to be pushed into the situation we found ourselves in with
Mr. Clinton's attempts at salvaging face.

Our future, assuming we actually have one, will depend on it.

Predictable and tired strategy of Republicans. When Reagan was pres.,
Carter got the blame for everything bad. When Clinton was pres.,
Reagan/Bush got credit for everything good. Now, Clinton is blamed for
everything bad. In 2004 when we have a Democrat in office, Bush will
get the credit for all of the new President's accomplishments. It is
the weasel nature they seem to have.

Is Clinton some sort of paranormal being or something ? Did Clinton use some
sort of mass-hypnosis to convince all of Israel to vote for Barak ? Perhaps
you have a source for these wild claims.

No, the current violence started because Clinton forced the sides
together and Arafat snapped and ordered terrorist attacks. Sharon is
simply trying to protect his country which he has every right and

This has been explained to you many times. Clinton forced the sides
together too early to get an agreement that wasn't possible so he could
take credit for 'peace'. This began the current violence. Arafat
certainly is responsible for actually supporting and likely ordering the
violence but Clinton is responsible for forcing the issue.

Day by day, the tinder box we call the Middle East is one match strike
closer to catastrophe, and all because one man chose to break a cardinal
rules of politics: If you cannot improve a situation, at the very least do
not make it worse. This article will show how Clinton has made it worse
with a quick snapshot of the dark trends now forming in this maelstrom of
pending conflict and death.
Future historians will recall Clinton's last days as a self-motivated
attempt to gain a lasting legacy for his presidency and that all they served
to do, was to leave the situation in a dangerous leadership vacuum. A
vacuum that is now drawing sensible men into insensible acts; desperate men
to even more desperate acts; and encouraging demagogues to commit inhuman
acts.

Independent UK, January 9. 2001
Senior Palestinian negotiators swiftly rejected President Bill Clinton's
peace proposals yesterday, signing the death certificate on a diplomatic
initiative that has been in its death throes for days.
Mr Clinton called for both sides to make a "long leap" to close the yawning
gaps that still divide them, and dispatched his long-serving envoy Dennis
Ross to the Middle East today.
But the conditions rule out any prospect of a break-through before Mr
Clinton leaves office in 11 days. And even if a deal was, miraculously, to
emerge and be rushed through, it would bring with it a serious risk of more
bloodshed, political upheaval in the occupied territories, and continuing
conflict.

AP, January 9, 2001
JERUSALEM (AP) - Despite efforts by President Clinton to wring a partial
agreement or a statement of principles out of the Israelis and Palestinians
before he leaves office, the chief Palestinian negotiator said Tuesday that
Palestinians want a full peace treaty - or nothing.
Palestinian negotiators Abed Rabbo and Ahmed Qureia said Tuesday they would
reject any proposal that does not give them all of the West Bank, Gaza and
east Jerusalem, and does not guarantee the rights of all the refugees to
return to their homes.
Meanwhile, a new poll indicated that a majority of Palestinians now favor
the most extreme form of violence against Israel. The survey, by the
Jerusalem Media and Communications Center, a Palestinian think tank, showed
that 66 percent of respondents approve of suicide bomb attacks inside
Israel.
The poll, which questioned 1,199 Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza
Strip, had a 3-percentage point margin of error.
Desperate to make his deal, Clinton hammered Barak into making more and more
concessions, all of which fell short of committing national suicide which in
turn displeased the Palestinians.
The concession demands also displeased the Israelis who are seeing the whole
notion of peace for land as being a futile gesture. But to remind the
Israelis of the wisdom of this failed policy, Clinton tells them to divvy up
the country for peace nonetheless if they wanted peace.

Washington Post, January 7, 2001
President Clinton told the people of Israel on Sunday that their land is
also the Palestinians' homeland and "there is no choice but for you to
divide this land into two states for two people."
He said "your dream of a homeland has come true," but when the Jewish people
returned home beginning a century ago, they found "it was not vacant. You
discovered that your land was also their land, the homeland of two peoples."
Before Clinton spoke, a senior U.S. official said the administration was not
optimistic of reaching a final deal before George W. Bush becomes president
on Jan. 20.

Bush's opinion is hardly authoritative. He is not a foreign policy expert
by any stretch of the imagination. Can you name some foreign policy experts
who were critical of the campaign process not in hindsight, but at the time?

This article does not even contain any facts, it's an opinionated rant, by some
imbecile of a hindsight expert, nothing more. The other articles simply don't
support the conclusion that Clinton "caused" the violence in ME.

The right of return was something the Palestinians needed to give up for the
deal to work. Again, it's hardly Clintons fault that they stuck with this
demand.

Wasn't this was shortly after Sharon stirred things up with his temple
visit? BTW, what would that percentage be now ? I bet it's higher than 66%.

The fact is that both sides needed to make compromises for a deal to go ahead.

This is a long way from the truth. Baraks ascension to power represented a
narrow window of opportunity that Clinton wanted to take advantage of. Waiting
for Baraks administration to collapse would have been a disaster.

Sharons election (and before that, Sharons temple visit) began the current

You may not value the views of Conservatives, but Conservatives said all
along that Clinton was too personally involved. This is why when Bush
does exactly what Conservatives said, be less personally involved and
work at lower levels for change, it is interesting to see Liberals claim
that he is doing nothing. He is doing what what we said he should do
from the start.

Don't lie. The violence started under Clinton because Clinton forced the
sides together. It is 'escalating' now because Israel is taking out the
terrorist trash. Likely after about a week, things will quiet down and
perhaps Arafat will figure out that his terrorism will not be tolerated
anymore.

Lest we forget, Clinton's people worked rather hard to get Barak into

during the campaign there.

The movie is so drastically historically inaccurate as to paint Cromwell

message however remains true. A ruler which is unjust, not representative

tyranny of traitorous unelected kings should be beheaded. I'd recommend the
last 20 minutes of the movie as a sample of what the people should be doing

Church and state in early New England
By Bernard A. Drew

With this little tidbit...

"America's population grew, and it became more socially and religiously
diverse. During the Great Awakening in the 1640s, Presbyterians and others
asserted their need to worship in their own way. In 1849, Maryland passed
the Toleration Act guaranteeing freedom of religion and protecting its
Catholic population.

Religiously zealous Quakers, believing in inner lights from the Holy Ghost,
came to this country in the 1650s with missionary purposes. They were
particularly vilified by the Puritans. Punishment for a first conviction of
Quakerism was one ear cut off; for a second offense, the second ear, and for
third, the tongue bored with a hot iron. Mary Dyer, a persistent Quaker,
ignored her banishment once too often and was hanged in Boston in 1660."

...which showed the fine examples of multi-church tolerance in our wacky
Puritan days which led to a certain disdain for Church / State mingling
which was mentioned in our First Amendment.

--- So WHY DO *YOU* BELONG HERE? You certainly don't know what the hell
you're prattling about and are damn proud to share it. I pay my taxes, I
actively vote for my representatives, and I sure as hell bitch loudly when
they aren't doing what is right for America and the people of America. At
least I do not support the insane terror of a tyrant's whims.

If you can come up with a definition of a "just peace" in context of the
