Bill Clinton: I'd Die for Israel

[Colin Grabow]

Clinton delighted the crowd by playing sax with the band before dinner and telling them that "If the Iraqi army crossed the Jordan River, I would personally grab a rifle and fight, and die."

Can we send him over there now then?

[Dante]

Can his wife join him?

Guess who's going to get belatedly called up to go for the coming war ?. Maybe avoiding his national service during Vietnam may bite him in the arse :).

I'd suggest sending Dumbya over too but he'd probably just go AWOL again.

Dubya didn't go AWOL. He can't remember exactly what he did during his Reserves duty or where he was stationed, but he's certain he didn't go AWOL.

"I can't recall" is the title of the Republican platform.

OK, smart guy, now do this for Reagan during Iran-Contra. Don't blame me, though, if your computer blows up from trying to handle such a large number...

As for Bush and his service record, go here:

Outside of Bush I and McCain, did any Republicans bother to go to war?

(Slightly hypocritical on my part, because if I had been of draft age during Vietnam, I'd have been a bigger dodger than Tommy Lasorda. But then, I'm not getting paid to drum up support for a war, am I?)

Nice to see that Clinton is settling into his role as an elder statesman.

Doesn't look AWOL to me.

I'm sure one of you will post a picture of Bill Clinton to prove he didn't dodge the draft. I'll be waiting.

Good to see Pandor bear is still alive and well.

[spejic]

You were much smarter before your mysterious disappearance. Are you really the same person?

I said that because you cannot be as ill-informed as you seem to be from that sentence. Bush the Younger was supposed to be protecting Texas from the Vietcong from May 1972 to May 1973, but instead never reported for duty.

He didn't dodge the draft - it just slipped his mind. But here is a picture of the winner of the 2000 presidential election you might like.

I thought Tom Hanks was Forrest Gump.

Anyway, pot smoking can make you forget many things.

Umm, yea...

What was I talking about again?

I respect him a lot for doing his duty during Vietnam. If I remember correctly he wasn't drafted but joined voluntarily as an officer after he graduated hrom Harvard. Part of this was because he father was a Senator at the time, but his dad may have actually been against the war (I can't remember). I think he was a journalist over there in nam, kind of like Full Metal Jacket.

Gore was in Vietnam for less than 5 months, and in that 5 months he never fired a shot and hardly ever went off base. This comes from Gore himself. He was not even remotely on par with combat journalists. Gore was a remf.

Where'd you get that picture spejic? From Al Gore's 1988 presidential campaign brochure? Gore was criticized for including that picture, the criticism being that the picture created a false impression that he had served as an infantryman, even though his only real combat experience was interviewing other GIs who had been in combat.

At least Gore doesn't have to lie about his service record like Dumbya does...

[spejic]

Why is it a problem that he was never an infantryman? Only 1/5th of the Americans that went to Vietnam were infantrymen. And a person of Gore's IQ would never have been an infantryman - the army would save them for other jobs (although some jobs for intelligent people, like infantry officer or pilot are even more dangerous).

I was reading a bit more about Bush, and it seems that lots of famous Texans also protected Texas from the North Vietnam Air Force (like Lloyd Bentsen's kid, John Tower's kid and many of the Dallas Coyboys). I guess Texans are just wimps.
