McCain wants Bill Clinton to be Middle East Peace Negotiator

- Sen. John McCain suggested Sunday that former President Bill Clinton once again try his hand at forging peace between the Israelis and Palestinians as another day of violence lit up the sky on the border between Israel and Gaza.

McCain spoke in an interview on CBS, saying the U.S. should be "as heavily involved as they possibly can" in the region.

"I would find someone even as high-ranking, frankly, as former President Bill Clinton to go and be the negotiator," McCain said.

"I think that it's very important that we recognize that the United States of America has got to push as hard as we can to resolve this Israeli-Palestinian issue. And so many events hinge on making that process go forward."
