Betsy and The Anchoress remind us of what Bill Clinton promised Israel in 2002:Former US President Bill Clinton, July 31, 2002:”The Israelis know that if the Iraqi or the Iranian army came across the Jordan River, I would personally grab a rifle, get in a ditch, and fight and die.” But, this week, after Iranian C801’s blasted an Israeli naval ship and Syrian made missiles killed 9 in Haifa, President Clinton left his tough talk back in Harlem:Former US President Bill Clinton, July 16, 2006:Former President Bill Clinton has joined the critics of Israel by saying Israel has overreacted to the abductions of soldiers and terrorist attacks by mounting a “disproportionate” military operation against Hezbollah and Hamas.
