: /p> p>Too bad Billy boy wasn't in the trenches when they came across the Saigon River during Tet in 1969. I always will wonder which unfortunate poor white boy or person of color without political connections took our future President's place in the draft -- and whether he was a casualty or came back whole. Ah well, Alec/Billy Baldwin should play that part in a TV mini-series... with Jane Fonda as the love interest...? br> -- Mike Horn br> LTC, Military Intelligence br> US Army, retired br> Tracy, CA /p>

It's probably true what Clinton said. After all, short of major tectonic movements during his lifetime, Iraq will never cross the Jordan River. He might as well have said "if Hawaii attaches to Mexico." Of course, if Iraqi troops crossed the Jordan (probably even less likely, when you compare the two armies), Clinton will have promised nothing.

Of course, there is the possibility that Iraq, having obtained massive new weapon shipments from China, and having a new set of soldiers who can move forward as well as to the rear, might invade Israel and annex some of its territory, in which it could be said that Iraq had, indeed crossed the Jordan. In which case our former coward in chief would undoubtedly have one of his servants dig a trench so he could grab a rifle (nothing said about actually picking it up) and jump into said trench....

p>Which leaves the "fight" part -- undoubtedly the hardest one for him. But since he's already called himself a fighter, in the context of political races ... he may be able, by his own definitions, to meet this requirement as well. br> -- unsigned br> Chapel Hill, NC /p>
