Like his far-left buddies on the far-left coast, Bill Clinton considers himself as a celebrity. In truth, Clinton does have a lot in common with the antics around tinseltown, too: promiscuity and a general disdain for the ethics of middle America.
The only reason most Americans do not know about all of the Clinton scandals is that there are so many of them. Forget trying to explain them all to people. That's nearly impossible. People who work for a living don't even have time to listen to a list of basic descriptions, let alone the particulars.
So, it's not really a surprise that Clinton received a celebrity reception from students at New York City College while speaking there last Monday. The young adults, not being very politically informed, tended to accept Clinton's babble when he said that the world's greatest challenge is working toward an agreement between the Israelis and Palestinians -- and then stated that would require a coalition of American, Russian and European troops. "I do believe it will have to be, if not imposed, at least strongly pushed," Clinton said. "I believe it will require international forces . . . and I think we ought to show up and do it."
Sure. Be the monkey in the middle. Stand between them and hope no one shoots. How long would that last?
We still remember when Clinton said our military would only be stationed in Yugoslavia for a year or two cooling off period. How many years ago was that? Anyone see them coming home yet?
These groups in the Middle East have been at each other's throats for over 5,000 years. There's a lot more to it than just the current Palestinian and Israeli conflict. As an historical text, The Bible is full of instances.
So, yes, it would be good if we could help get the immediate fracas cooled down. But, no, we should not be sending our sons and daughters over there to stand between them. Our military is trained to kill people and break things. They are not trained to be peace police.
Besides, Clinton had his chance at brokering peace in the Middle East. He failed. So, instead, he sent a few of his political hacks over to Israel to interfere in their election. That's very strange behavior for an American president. But, after all, we're talking the "Third Way" aficionado, Bill Clinton, here. Anything goes for Slick Willie.
Now Dubya is wielding the big stick of the Presidency. Bush isn't as quick to jump into the fray as Clinton was. President Bush tends to like to stand back and watch a little -- and do some background research -- before acting.
Even Bush's inaction strikes an element of fear in Middle East leaders. That's because they know he is planning something, or at least mapping out contingencies. And, they know that if Bush does act, it will be a sudden and decisive move that will probably affect all nations in the Middle East for quite some time. To be sure, there is some "back channel" coercing -- maybe even threatening -- going on. But, generally speaking, President Bush is playing his cards pretty close to his chest.
And so, the eyes of all Middle East leadership are looking to the White House. They are waiting, wondering -- and worrying. Who is first?
Meanwhile, Clinton is wandering about, still babbling on as if he were the president making policy speeches. He didn't do very well as president and we hear even less common sense in what he says today.
It appears, therefore, President Bush may have a "fix" for that. It's the same trick that past presidents used on vice-presidents who were getting too hard to handle: Send them somewhere far, far away for a while.
Apparently, Bush is readying a May 20 delegation to East Timor to celebrate their independence.
In case anyone forgot, East Timor is a former Indonesian territory. It separated from Jakarta in 1999. Back then, Clinton lobbied the United Nations to send peacekeepers to East Timor because some of the Indonesian military violently protested the 1999 independence vote.
Anyway, rumor has it that some in the Bush administration think it would be a grand idea to send Bill Clinton over there with the delegation.
Somehow, we can see that happening, too. For some reason, we picture a broad smile on Dubya's face when that was brought up. The look may have also been momentarily diabolical. But we can be sure there was a definite grin following.
After all, if Bush announces that publicly, how can Clinton refuse? There's not a whole lot of trouble Clinton can get in over there, so this looks good all the way around.
And it certainly beats the hell out of giving Clinton more time to spout off socialist propaganda to college students.
Clinton wants an international force in the Mid East. These groups in the Middle East have been at each other's throats for over 5,000 years. There's a lot more to it than just the current Palestinian and Israeli conflict. As an historical text, The Bible is full of instances.

Nero fiddled while Rome burned, and Clinton took BJs while America suffered his presence in its highest office.
Lest Americans ever forget why the clintons, and all their enablers need to be hectored, hounded, and harried into silence, until "clintonese is only spoken in Hell," look here:
The Holiday *Best* of Bill Clinton & his Friends!

He might jump at the chance to go to Indonesia and get a little more cash from his buddy, Mr. Riady.
Yes, Clinton is still dangerous. But it is more than Bubba - of course - it is the Hildebeast.
My hope and dream is that the Bush administration has their NSA and other evesdropping tools hard at work on the Clintonistas - because I would bet a year's wages that they would pick up some major consorting with the enemy going on between the Clintonistas and the terrorists who want us dead.
"Five agencies have refused to endorse the accuracy of Clinton's published DNA profile. This further suggests that the President's DNA may have been altered for privacy and security reasons. With the Star magazine DNA tests taken from OIC documents and the fact that there may have been an altercation, the paternity test could prove to be worthless.

But, but........ We've always been told that Bubba is such a wonderful student of history!! Wouldn't he already know this?!?! I mean, this could destroy a girl's faith!!!!!! (sarcasm off)
It would not surprise me- his Dad was Director, CIA, recall, and you never really "retire" from the Spook World.
'Til then, they're fair game.
Go away, Bill, and take your most prized possession with you. Hold on tight. Do they have sinks in East Timor?
