Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War!
Clinton's Bloody Photo-Op Diplomacy
Dan Frisa
Friday, Oct. 13, 2000
A horrific price has been paid, with the lives of U.S.
sailors, as
a direct result of the self-indulgent and wildly
misguided foreign
policy of Bill Clinton and Al Gore, which tragically
amounts to
nothing more than photo-op diplomacy.
Even the staid and bland statement read by Clinton
yesterday
and Gore's "selfless" cancellation of campaign stops to
be
briefed - so long after the fact that these "briefings"
had to be
staged - are so cynical and coldly political as to
border on the
criminal.
It's an outrage that the USS Cole was directed to
refuel in the
port of Aden in Yemen, a known haven of some of the
world's
most notorious terrorists, with the knowledge that
there have
been numerous kidnappings of diplomats and Western
citizens over the past year, as well as various other
acts of
abject terrorism.
And, why did the Clinton administration, in the
ultimate act of
inane political correctness, recently re-classify
"terrorist states"
as "areas of concern?"
It has also now been revealed that recent U.S.
intelligence
reports warned that U.S. ships were being specifically
targeted by terrorists based in Yemen. Why, then,
continue
refueling there?
There is no excuse, there is no reason, there is no
justification
for such a disastrous decision, which directly resulted
in the
loss of American lives.
The blood of these U.S. sailors is on the hands of Bill
Clinton
and Al Gore.
By forcing talks this summer, beyond any realistic
possibility of
a sound result, between Ehud Barak and Yasser Arafat at
Camp David, Clinton demonstrated his utter lack of
comprehension of diplomacy and his abiding interest in
only
himself.
The result is that the man he helped elect as Israeli
prime
minister, merely because he was deemed more willing than
Netanyahu to grant concessions, offered such
far-reaching and
one-sided terms to the Palestinians that Barak's own
political
fate was thrust into question, severely weakening his
hand.
And just last week when the United Nations acted upon a
resolution condemning Israel, Clinton and Gore abandoned
our ally and directed that the United States abstain!
This act of cowardice and indecision stands as stark as
any
betrayal could.
So much so that these events could not help but send a
dangerous signal of weakness and lack of resolve to the
aggressors and enemies of both the U.S. and Israel.
What's more, the ill-advised decision to grant
substantial relief
from the post-Desert Storm sanctions to Iraq - even
after U.N.
arms inspectors were unceremoniously expelled and in the
face of other acts of defiance - has left Saddam
Hussein with
a vastly strengthened hand, which he continues to wield
with
increasing audacity.
This, also, is materially related to the tragedy of the
USS Cole
because its very mission in the gulf was to monitor
Iraqi export
shipments that are now so much more numerous, given the
relaxed restrictions, therefore engendering greater
danger
through even more opportunities for confrontation.
The result is that Saddam has control over enough
petroleum
output to directly affect world oil markets. And he has
now
become so emboldened that he is moving the remaining
elements of the Republican Guard westward to the Iraqi
border
closest to Israel.
The overarching impact of these mistaken actions has
been to
send world financial and petroleum markets reeling and
severely affecting, for the worse, the personal wealth
and
security of millions of Americans.
So much for the "peace and prosperity" that Clinton and
Gore
have so conceitedly attributed to themselves.
Now they must answer for the results of their own
negligence:
the murder of U.S. Navy personnel who were only doing
their
jobs.
The responsibility for this tragedy lies with the men
who so
cavalierly and haughtily practiced photo-op diplomacy
for the
simple reason that they thought they could get away
with it
without paying a price.
Well, they haven't. Yet.
But the families who have been so irreparably scarred
have.
Let history record this as the Clinton-Gore legacy.
