"Today I can report to you that the United States, Egypt, Jordan,
Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and the Palestinian Authority are of
one mind on this crisis."

MER - Washington - 2/5/98:

    It's not just Bill Clinton in Washington who is a master at deception and prevarication.  The American Secretary of State is right on up there.  And these days lies are much in the Washington air -- from the Oval Office, to the Pentagon, to Foggy Bottom.

    Let's not forget that this is the lady who has championed the near-genocidal sanctions against Iraq for years, all the while claiming to be concerned with the Iraqi people!
 
    Let's not forget that this is the lady who repeatedly screamed at U.N. Secretary-General Boutros Ghali that he must not publish the damning report about Israel's terrible Qana massacre lest the U.S. veto him for his second term.

    Let's not forget that this is the lady who appointed as Assistant Secretary of State for the Middle East a former Israeli lobby official who was not even an American citizen when Clinton was elected President.

    And most of all let's not forget that this is a lady who has been working exceedingly closely with the Israelis to control the Middle East region -- among the main reasons she got the job in the first place -- no matter what deceptions and distortions she utters in public these days.
