[An Nahar] Leading Republican Senator John Maverick McCain ... the Senator-for-Life from Arizona, former presidential candidate and even more former foot soldier in the Reagan Revolution... suggested Sunday that President Barack Obama On this Memorial Day, as our nation honors its unbroken line of fallen heroes -- and I see many of them in the audience here today... should send Bill Clinton as a special envoy to try to negotiate peace between Israel and Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason,.
"The United States should obviously be as heavily influential as they can," McCain told CBS television, referring to the bloody conflict that has raged since Wednesday between Israel and the Gazoo Strip's Islamist rulers.
The Arizona Republican, who lost his 2008 presidential bid to Obama, sang the praises of Clinton, a Democrat, as someone uniquely placed to try to broker a truce between the sworn enemies.
"I know he'd hate me for saying that but we need a person of enormous prestige and influence to have these parties sit down together as an honest broker," said McCain.
"The United States of America has got to push as hard as we can to resolve this Israeli-Paleostinian issue."

Like the historically proven non sequitur "Gaza Truce Negotiator", terms of reference such as "Honest broker" and "Bill Clinton" should never be used in the same sentence.

Are all these politicians bat $h*t crazy????????
Is that all that McCain can think up? Send Bill Clinton to be a negotiator? He is either a creative genius or BSC. Bunch of recycled politicians. I am getting a headache.

Mr. Clinton, his reputation here at the Burg notwithstanding, does have three things that Mr. Obama and the rest of his administration lack: prestige (being an ex-president helps), interpersonal skills, and non-insular political experience.
You want a salesman. Saints make crappy negoatiators.

This is a classic example of setting the Dems up for failure! The Dems send their fair haired leader, it fails, the Dem machine has a classic Fail for 2016...

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
