I once grabbed a
copy of 'Living History' by Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton. When I opened to the index the first name I
turned to wasn't Monica Lewenski. It
was Suha Arafat.
"The
worst instance came during an official visit to Israel in the fall of 1999,
when I attended an event as First Lady with Suha Arafat, wife of the Palestinian
leader. Mrs. Arafat spoke before me in
Arabic. Listening to an
Arabic-to-English translation through headphones, neither I nor other members
of our delegation - including U.S. Embassy staff, Middle East experts and
respected American Jewish leaders heard her outrageous remark suggesting that
Israel had used poison gas to control Palestinians. When I went to the podium moments later to deliver my remarks,
Mrs. Arafat greeted me with an embrace, a traditional greeting. Had I been aware of her hateful words, I
would have denounced them on the spot.
The New York tabloids ran photos of me receiving a kiss on the cheek
from Suha Arafat, with accompanying stories about her remarks."
Hillary
Clinton. 'Living History'. P. 509-510
Receiving a kiss? On 11/11/99? This pathological liar must think we're idiots.
