General Wesley Clark released the following statement today in response to President Bush's remarks today about the missing explosives in Iraq:
“Today George W. Bush made a very compelling and thoughtful argument for why he should not be reelected. In his own words, he told the American people that “…a political candidate who jumps to conclusions without knowing the facts is not a person you want as your Commander in Chief.”
“President Bush couldn’t be more right. He jumped to conclusions about any connection between Saddam Hussein and 911. He jumped to conclusions about weapons of mass destruction. He jumped to conclusions about the mission being accomplished. He jumped to conclusions about how we had enough troops on the ground to win the peace. And because he jumped to conclusions, terrorists and insurgents in Iraq may very well have their hands on powerful explosives to attack our troops, we are stuck in Iraq without a plan to win the peace, and Americans are less safe both at home and abroad.”
“By doing all these things, he broke faith with our men and women in uniform. He has let them down. George W. Bush is unfit to be our Commander in Chief.”
Clark was asked to leave the military for unethical behavior
"LOL, Its the Chewbacca Defense. "
LMAO!!!
I adore Bill Gertz
"Treachery" is my fav. political book EVER!
Treachery : How America's Friends and Foes Are Secretly Arming Our Enemies
(I guess he pegged this story)
I think Wesley should keep that blue dress of his...cause you never know.
I still want to know what Clinton was doing in the Soviet Union way back then. You have your Manchurian Candidate and then you have your Rodina Candidate...Clinton was a hellish package of both all rolled up into one.
I used to think no one could be worse. I was wrong. Keryy would be.
I need to find a picture of wesley on the off chance that someday I will run into him in person. I need the pic because I don't want to slap the wrong person.
Well then, he is certainly endorsing the right party (and candidate) for that matter
Yeah, I was on the edge of my seat wondering where he'd fall on this. /sarcasm
Clark is lying, too! W never offered any connection between 9/11 and Saddam, the MSM and decraps did it and blamed Bush. In fact, I recall hearing this President say that there was no connection that he knew of, and that way back before the debates! Clark is a typical sleazy democrap, lying through his hate-filled teeth.
Who the puck is Wesley Clark?
Served under him in 1st Cav, Weasely Clark was Billary's Beeyotch, 100%. He's an effeminate, perfumed prince with a lack of common sense. There's alot more I used to hear too. Political aspirations was the keyword for ol weasely.
Hope he dies a very painful death after a very long and painful illness.
I really do hate to say this about a man who served his country, but Wesley has turned into a real POS.
There is no comparable justification between Kerry's jumping the gun and ASSUMING Bush himself is responsible for something he (Kerry) could not prove vs. Bush not willing to take the word of a madman. The standards are different. For Weasly to equate them demonstrates the shallow desperate nature of himself, as well.
Ever since I heard Bush's statement Today, I was waiting for this sort of line to come back.
If anything, Bush didn't "rush" to action on Iraq. He waited through all the red tape, he tried quite hard to pass the "global test" first.
We actually went to Iraq too *late*, as the original story shows, as we were held up by people like Chirac, Blix and Kerry.
I second that. Clark is a major POS. A hundred years ago, good men would have already strung that traitor to a branch and left him for the vultures. Clark is traitor to this Republic. He is mentally ill. I will celebrate when he leaves this world -- it will be a joyous day. One less evil human. The site of him makes me ill.
FYI
101st HQ'd in Al-Qaqaa for Two Weeks! (Vanity - Just spoke with someone who was there)

As soon as this Al-Qaqaa story "broke" I thought of calling my friend (an officer and unit commander attached to the 101st during Operation Iraqi Freedom) to find out what really happened. Well, I just got off the phone with him and after joking that he was directing traffic for all the Iraqi trucks that looted explosives out of Al-Qaqaa, I asked him what this story is really all about.
Turns out several of his unit's men were with the 2nd Brigade that first arrived at Al-Qaqaa, secured it, spent the night, then moved out. The day they left, the 101st Division Command Staff (which my friend was attached to) then moved into Al-Qaqaa and set up temporary HQ for TWO WEEKS! While there he walked around and inside bunkers and saw all sorts of stuff stacked up and lying around: AK-47s, RPGs, rockets, bombs, ammo, and black powder used in making weapons as that's what the Al-Qaqaa facility was - manufacture and storage.
Did he see any IAEA sealed bunkers? No. Did he see anything other than field weapons/munitions? No. Did they allow Iraqis to drive trucks into HQ and help themselves to weapons? Gimme a break! Would the 101st Division Command Staff HQ next to 380 tons of HMX, RDX and PETN during combat? I would think not.
My friend's parting thoughts were that this was likely Kerry's "October Suprise" to be leaked right before the election, leaving the Bush team no time to rebutt or explain, but it got leaked too early. Turns out this highly explosive story is one big DNC dud.
Lest we forget Weasley's unlawful contribution to the Clinton/Reno massacre at Waco...which led to his rise in the toon's command-structure, eventually to murder thousands of Serbian Christian civilians...
You forget about the U.N. admission that is also coming out that states the 370 is really more like 180tons and they made a mistake.
