Senator Hillary Clinton, the U.S Sentator from New York running for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination, addressing the American Israeli Public Affair’s Committee:

[My comments are in bold]

” … That is why we stand with Israel because it is a beacon of democracy
in the region [This sentence just guaranteed her at least five million dollars towards her presidential campaign contribution]; that is why we stand with Israel because its very existence is a defiant affront to anti-Semitism [human rights and international rule of law]; that is why we stand with Israel because in defeating terror [it actually does nothing except incite it by the actions of the IDF] because Israel’s cause is our cause [Kaching! That sentence just added 20 million dollars into her presidential campaign kitty]. And that is why we stand with Israel because of our shared values and our shared belief in the dignity of men and women and the right to live without fear or oppression [except for the Palestinians who obviously don't exist for either Hillary or for the Israeli leaders]. And what we must do is to think rationally and strategically about how our values, our beliefs can be translated into effective action. [Bomb the hell out of Iran] It is not enough for us to say the right things; we’ve got to be smart and tough enough to do the right things that will protect American and Israeli interests now and forever. [Correction: Attack Iran, Syria, Lebanon - oh, heck! the whole of the Middle East while we are at it]”
