Clinton Pledges to Fight as Combat Soldier with Israeli Army

Ex-president Bill Clinton told an audience in Toronto, Canada on Tuesday that he would personally fight "in the trench" alongside the Israeli Defense Force to repel an attack on the Jewish state by Iraq.

"I would grab a rifle and get in the trench and fight and die," Clinton proclaimed, according to a report by the Canadian Press news service.

The one-time Vietnam War-era draft dodger was addressing a packed fundraiser for Canada's Hadassah-Wizo Organization.

While discussing his efforts to bring peace to the Middle East as president, Clinton stressed that America must remain involved because U.S. participation is the only way to ensure the long-term trust of the Israelis.

"Israel believes America is the only big country who cares if they exist,'' he contended.

Clinton then delighted the mostly Jewish audience by saying he would be willing to physically fight for Israel.

"If Iraq came across the Jordan River ... I would grab a rifle and get in the trench and fight and die," he pledged.

The audience erupted in "massive applause" at the Clinton promise, the CP said.

At the height of the Vietnam War, the ex-president received three separate draft notices while studying abroad in Great Britain. But his uncle Raymond Clinton was eventually able to secure a slot in the ROTC in Arkansas, which allowed him to postpone his military service.

When the time came to keep his military commitment, however, Clinton wrote Arkansas ROTC Commander Col. Eugene Holmes, explaining that he couldn't serve because he "loathed the military."

He could be a deadly weapon. Mooning the moslemaniacs could cause blindness, delirium tremens and galloping halitosis. That fat ass could be very dangerous if wrongly used.

Just goes to show you how much the coward Beelzebubba knows about the manly art of armed defense...trench warfare died out at 11 p.m. on Nov. 11th, 1918!

It was more than he was willing to do for his own damn country! Let me put that another way. It was more than he was willing to say he would do for his own country. It ain't gonna happen. The closest thing to combat Billy Boy will ever experience is living with his lamp-throwing wife.

Since when does the Israeli army fight from trenches? If he wants to fight in a trench, he should join the Iraqi army.

He didn't say which gun he would grab. I suspect that I know which one; after all he is "Slick Willy (wacker)".
