General Clark urges us to "immediately open an unconditional dialogue" with "Iran and Syria" and resume "economic relationships, and a regional security structure—that may be necessary for Iran to see the overwhelming advantages of giving up its nuclear weapons programs." How in the world (besides Clinton being the president at the time) did this man gain four stars in the Army of the United States?

Try to imagine Wesley Clark as our next Secretary of Defense.

Perhaps he got 4th star when he was in charge at Waco under Gen. Reno

We've been waiting for Ashley Wilkes to weigh in on Iran.

It was exactly because of Clinton.

He was appointed Commander of NATO.

He then was relieved of command and forced to retire because he disobeyed orders. Others who disobeyed orders were courtmartialed, he wasn't because of Clinton.

Weasel Clark is an idiot. He wanted to attack Russian peacekeepers.

In Waging Modern War, General Clark wrote about his fury upon learning that Russian peacekeepers had entered the airport at Pristina, Kosovo, before British or American forces. In the article "The guy who almost started World War III," (Aug. 3, 1999), The Guardian (U.K.) wrote, "No sooner are we told by Britain's top generals that the Russians played a crucial role in ending the West's war against Yugoslavia than we learn that if NATO's supreme commander, the American General Wesley Clark, had had his way, British paratroopers would have stormed Pristina airport, threatening to unleash the most frightening crisis with Moscow since the end of the Cold War."

"I'm not going to start the third world war for you," General Sir Mike Jackson, commander of the international KFOR peacekeeping force, is reported to have told Gen. Clark...

Wesley Clark is a two faced liar.

No point in reading a word he says.

[Major_Risktaker]

What a man...

[stevie_d_64]

Well hang on a second...

It's not all about little Wesley there...

If we want to avert "another" Gulf War...

We could do so in about 30 minutes or less...It could be said that that action would be extremely "immediate, open and unconditional"...

And Syria, well, thats a pimple that could be popped with less effort than...uhhh...A bag of microwave popcorn...yeah, thats the ticket...

The problem with all of this is we have no political will to do what needs to be done...

Somebody once said:

"Damn the torpedos, full speed ahead!"

That was not a reckless statement or action at that time...That was sheer determination...And it would be refreshing to see an "Nth" of that somehow, somewhere in someone...
