Clinton says he would die to defend Israel

Associated Press - New York - Friday, June 02, 2002

Former President Clinton, who avoided the Vietnam War, told Jewish supporters in Toronto that he would fight and die to protect Israel if Iraq or Iran ever invaded.

"The Israelis know that if the Iraqi or the Iranian army came across the Jordan River, I would personally grab a rifle, get in a ditch, and fight and die."

Clinton was accused of ducking the draft during the Vietnam era. He received and induction notice but got a deferment when he promised to participate in an ROTC program. He never jhoined the program. He later withdrew his deferment but drew a lottery number too high to be drafted.

The times they are a changing!
