1. TO BILL CLINTON
LAWRENCE RAP ARTISTE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (09.22.10)
50 _ 50 chance ? Gee ,it must be tough being a genius.
2. Bill Clinton
Brod ,   USA   (09.22.10)
Having received millions of dollars from the Saudis, Bill Clinton is becoming like Carter, crusading Jihadism on Israel. Such corrupted leaders have no moral compass to be talking about peace. It is the peace crap of the dark of forces that they are crusading.
3. Hey Bill..how does Monica...I think, there
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (09.22.10)
is a 50:50 chance that she does really well...!!!
4. What about Hamas?
Malone ,   Hfx   (09.22.10)
Until the two pal factions unite under one leader,no one can speak for ALL the pals..Hamas will sabotage any peace effort,controlled as they are by Iran. Peace is impossible under the present pal leadership( or lack of leadership,I should say).
5. 50:50 Chance Bill will go away for good.
Marcel ,   Florida   (09.22.10)
When are you going to just go away and get off the stage Bill ? Take the used goober Jimmy Carter with you and go fishin and stay fishin.
6. So what Bill is telling us...
Naor ,   USA   (09.22.10)
Is that these peace talks will either succeed or they will fail? What an earthshaking concept...
7. THERE IS A 50-50 CHANCE THAT

AAh did not have sex with that woman,aah did not inhale.
8. Best chance for peace is a middle class
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (09.22.10)
With a growing middle class in Gaza, as indicated by all the new building that's been going on (water parks, malls, restaurants, food courts filled with a wide variety and an abundance of food, etc.). People get used to the good life, and it is the greatest enemy of groups like Hamas. The West Bank has always been ahead of Gaza in its economic development. Like I said in an earlier post, as some point, you will reach a tipping point (where people are not so willing to give up the good life for misery of a war) for the Arab people. Will they want to go back to war and conflict. As Abbas stated in July of this year, he is not willing to have the West Bank destroyed again. Abbas stated clearly no war, unless all the Arab countries want to join in and help the Palestinians fight and defeat the Israeli's. There may not be that resolve in the Arab world at this time. With the exceptions of Iran, Hamas ,Hezbollah...the most radical... even Lebanon and Syria the two most likely other countries that would join in, are not chomping at the bit for a war. They know both their countries infrastructures would be devastated. So the 50/50 chance is very realistic. Do the young people being raised now in a better life, want to go to war? Even with all the brainwashing at their schools, mosques, TV and radio stations. Will the young reject violence for a middle class life. Who knows? It's anyone's guess. Remember just 5-6 months ago we had the famous "Son Of Hamas" defection, from Gaza. He came out as the son of one of the founders of Hamas, to reject all the hate. He stated in his book, that the Israeli's care more about human life than Hamas. Could there be more like this young man to come?
9. Ol' bleary eyes
Curtis ,   USA   (09.22.10)
How could anyone ever expect to hear anything besides nonsense from a puffy-eyed old drunk like Bill Clinton.
10. Who cares what he thinks?
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (09.22.10)
I figure it's a 50:50 chance that he hasn't screwed around on Hillary since leaving office. Well, actually, it's probably a 99:1 chance that he has, but why get tacky?
11. there is no 50-50
Mohammed Simon ,   falls church VA   (09.22.10)
100% peace or do it using USA president to do wars for you if they are tired and your claim is wrong than fight Iran your self it is over people like us we are all semitic so stop playing and crying..
12. "i did not have a peace of that woman."
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (09.22.10)
13. In a pigs eye Billy boy!
Avi The Builder ,   Eretz Yisrael   (09.22.10)
Go home Uncle Billy & take your wife with you. The piss process is dead!
14. The Clintons and "peace"
DT ,   TA Israel   (09.22.10)
There is zero chance of peace but as the perfect "air head couple" they will never see that. How do Morons get to be in positions of prominence
15. Wallah !!
Salma ,   Palestine   (09.22.10)
Bill Clinton is still optimistic !
16. Zero chance
Jerrold Cohen ,   Seal Beach, USA   (09.22.10)
When did Bill Clinton get peace? There is exactly zero chance of peace because neither the US, Israel, or the Palestinians have changed. Nothing worked in the past and nothing will work now. If the US got sick and tired of Israel's breaking international law continually and put American soldiers on Israeli soil, there might be a chance of peace.
17. THE TRINITY OF PEACE - ??? -
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (09.22.10)
-THE TRINITY IS TWO CLINTONS AND ONE OBAMA. WILL THEY SUCCEDE ??? - Arn.
18. Bill & HILARY Clinton
TAHRIR QUDS ALYAHUDI   (09.22.10)
Read the OLD AND NEW TESTAMENT and judge for yourself who are the real owner to the LAND OF ISRAEL INCLUDING ALL WEST BANK JERUSALEM,JORDAN and the rest of the lands which are mentioned in the BIBLE .Clinton family do not go against the ALMIGHTY. BEWARE!!!!!!!
19. Clinton also told that Russian immigrants and
tanya ,   tel aviv israel   (09.22.10)
settlers are a central obsticle for peace.
20. Chances are ZERO. Palestinians want Israel destroyed!
Truth from ,   The Middle East   (09.22.10)
The more these "negotiations" move on, the more evident is the fact that nothing has changed: Palestinians still want Israel destroyed, either by violent means or "silently", through the "right of return" and by hijacking the Jewish Jerusalem as their capital, even though they never had any moral, historical or religious rights to it. Palestinians dream of kicking Jews into the sea never died and now, when they are facing the US request to actually SIGN on a document recognizing Israel, they expose their true intentions. Arafat publicly claimed that the Oslo accord is only the first stepping stone towards the destruction of Israel, and so will be each and every attempt to seek "peace" with the Palestinians. Let's face it: we are wasting our time. There will never be Peace in the Middle East for as long as the Palestinians seek our destruction. This is not up to Obama, not to Netanyahu. It is up to the Muslims to change their arrogant and violent ways, and since the chances of this to happen in our lifetime, and since we will never submit to Islam, the chances of a Peace in our times is ZERO. I say, let's prepare for the next conflict. There is not a question of when the conflict will happen - the question is when, for how long, and how bloody it will be this time.
21. Biil and Hillary
hebrew prophet ,   israel   (09.22.10)
If only Bill and Hillary could attend more Shabbas (friday nights) dinners at the home of their daughter and her Jewish husband ,then they might begin to appeciate their Jewish family ties now?
22. Make it 100%: Eliminate Hamas & Co
