PARIS, Aug 1, 2006 (AFP) - Segolene Royal, the Socialist tipped to become France's first female president, on Tuesday called for former US president Bill Clinton to intervene to calm the escalating Middle East conflict.
"France can play an intermediary, trustworthy role" but we also need "voices that carry international weight, that have moral authority", Royal told RTL radio.
"I am thinking about people such as Bill Clinton. We can find others, one per continent, who will be able to relaunch dialogue and give the feeling that we can talk to each other again," she said.
"We need person-to-person talks so that this little 48-hour glimmer of truce can be transformed into a ceasefire," Royal added.

Not bad looking for a potential elected head of state.

Maybe if he had spent that morning when he kept Arafat cooling his heels in the Rose Garden negotiating with the old terrorist instead of have Wee Willie waxed by an intern, he might have gotten somewhere. But is was only about sex in a private relationship...BJ never let it affect his professional life...-sarc

Is there anything in this World that can't be made just a little bit better with the addition of a wee bit of Bill Clinton.I hate to say it, but I think Hillary could use a "wee bit of Bill Clinton".

I'm still wondering exactly why anyone would care what an impeached, ex-presidental rapist and pathological liar thinks?

If she was, do you think she'd have to ask publicly?

I've been telling my wife all along that it's just a matter of time until Klinton finds a way ton insinuate himself into things. He'll buy off the Hezzies, Lebanese, and anyone else with money and hired women the way the Mormons bought off the International Olympic Committee.
Then, he'll announce a 7-year "peace plan" while wearing a blue turban.
