Russia May Ask Lewinsky for Help

Thursday, December 17, 1998; 10:58 a.m. EST

MOSCOW (AP) -- Russian legislators considered a motion Thursday
appealing to Monica Lewinsky to help halt the American attack on Iraq.

''The State Duma appeals to Ms. Lewinsky to undertake corresponding
measures to restrain the emotions of Bill Clinton,'' said the motion by
nationalist lawmaker Alexander Filatov.

Lawmakers in the Duma, the lower chamber of parliament, considered
including the motion in a broader resolution denouncing the attack on Iraq.
But seeking to speed up passage of the resolution, they approved it later
Thursday without any additions. There was no separate vote on the
Lewinsky amendment.

The attack by the United States and Britain on Iraq was condemned by
almost all major political groups in Russia. The Communists, the largest
party in the Duma, also mentioned Clinton and his relationship with the
former White House intern.

''Many people link it with Clinton's impeachment and his intimate relations
with a certain person, but if these relations develop into such acts of
vandalism, than all of U.S. democracy is worth a penny,'' Communist
leader Gennady Zyuganov told a Duma debate on the Iraqi crisis.

It's a sickening display of partisan politics all right by the Republicans . The idea that Clinton timed this is ridiculous. Think about it .The head of the UN inspection team [not American] issues a report to Clinton that Saddam is not Co operating and twenty four hrs later we commence bombing. Oh how suspicious is that.What is he suppose to do wait for the impeachment vote then start the bombing? Right in time for the religious holidays. That would be smart.The Republicans are the fools playing right into Saddam's hands.
