Who is responsible for an air offensive that is building anti-American anger across Europe without breaking the Serbian regime's will? The blame rests heavily on Gen. Wesley Clark, the NATO supreme commander.

Who destroyed the good will of our European allies?

Sometimes old news is so telling...

Great find!

Does anyone have the quote from the hag mattie that said we had a deal but we have to teach them a lesson?

..first in his class at West Point, Rhodes scholar, frequently wounded

He must have taken rifle training from Al Gore.

A virtual standing ovation on this find. Thanks!

"...first in his class at West Point, Rhodes scholar, frequently wounded...

I read that as meaning his men missed him....several times.

Semper Fi

Ping whatcha all think? I see this as a damningly great article.Xhog should be commended.

[leadhead]

One waits for Georgie Joulwan, Clark's predecessor at Southern Command and SAC NATO to comment on why Clark should or should not be considered presidential material.

But then, Georgie is an Officer and a Gentleman, unlike the fruitcake from Arkansas.

Great post, thanks

The Clinton administration included a baker's dozen outright psychopaths, none worse than Wesley Clark.

Thank you. I'd appreciate a ping to someone you think may also be interested.

[PhiKapMom]

You all need to read this one about Clark!

[XHogPilot]

One ping, and one ping only

[Dog Gone]

Clark has a freaky creepy look in his eyes. I can't be the only one to notice that. He'll never be President.

[clintonh8r]

Yeah, I can see this guy as a frag magnet....

(Semper fi to you)

[Jorge]

Powerful stuff. This guy is way out there.
He'll never get the Dem nomination, but let's hope whoever does will be dumb enough to pick him as their VP running mate.
Thanks for the ping!

AAAAAAAANT. Wrong answer, but thank you for playing. We won the 1999 war against Serbia and we achieved its aim--sending its genocidal nazi President to prison in the Hague and freeing the people of Kosova from the threat of the kind of GENOCIDE they committed against the Muslims of Bosnia at Srebrenica.

The Euros hate us not for anything Clark (who is human compost but not because of what he did in the Balkans) did, but because we have guns, and cojones, and they don't.

[PhiKapMom]

Clark doesn't stand a chance -- his eyes give me the creeps as well. I was looking for his campaign contributors and on the website, his picture is of himself in uniform like he is still active duty. Not supposed to use your uniform in partisan politics, but I guess he gets a pass because he is retired?

[PhiKapMom]

Like the idea of him as the VP because we can use all of this info we are getting.

It was Clark who wanted a more aggressive bombing campaign against the Serbs with his famous quote, "Let's go downtown."
