Wesley Clark: Hamas Has ‘Momentum’ and No Reason to Stop Because of Global Pressure on Israel, That Was Their ‘Plan’
Breitbart ^ | 04/11/2024 | IAN HANCHETT

Posted on 04/11/2024 6:14:48 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

On Wednesday’s broadcast of “CNN’s “AC360,” CNN Military Analyst and former NATO Supreme Allied Commander Gen. Wesley Clark (Ret.) stated that “right now, the momentum is with Hamas.” Because “They know the weight of global opinion, including in the United States, is weighing in against the Israelis, against a continuation of the operation into Rafah. And they know that if they simply hang tough, continue to report casualties, get the sympathy of the world on their side, there will be increasing pressure against Israel. And this has been really the aim of their war plan since October 7.” Clark also stated that Hamas is “still interfering with the delivery of humanitarian supplies, medical supplies.”

Host Anderson Cooper asked, “Gen. Clark, if it’s true that Hamas doesn’t have 40 hostages that fit the criteria, do you think they’d ever turn over other hostages, even if they’re younger, military-aged males?”

Clark is right for once. Biden trying to appease the MI and MN Jew hater vote does not help.

Right. Why not admit, for once, that Liberals have been throwing gasoline on that situation from day one?

When did he get so smart with the strategy? Maybe we should have let him start WWIII in Kosovo.

Ashley Wilkes Clark (typed in my best Rush voice) is reminding me of another argument about the war: the dead Gazans and the debate on how many that is.

Here's my verifiable evidence on the number of killed Gazans/Hamas/"Palestinians" or whatever they call themselves. The fact that they haven't surrendered to Israel and promised not to attack again means that Israel hasn't killed enough of them. I don't know how much simpler that can be.

ham ass war plan is to get as many of their civilians killed by Israelis as unfortunate collateral damage.

Got it.

There’s supposedly secret negotiations going on between the US and Iran whereas Iran wouldn’t retaliate for the Israeli missile that blew up Iran’s military leaders at the Syrian embassy in exchange for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza. Whether this comes to be is uncertain.

Hamas has Biden and the media on their team, and that gives the progressive protestors confidence.

Beat me to it! First non-idiotic statement from Clark in 30 years.

As a colonel he musta been an asshole like all the others. General’s are politicians. He converted. Didn’t work. Outside looking in. History-just an unnoteworthy bit.

With only 4 battalions remaining and all of those are in Rafah, they don’t seem to have any momentum at all - except to die.

Have to admit, he is dead right, and predicted this 5 months ago. A brilliant strategic thinker, but his career was corrupted by ambition.

“A brilliant strategic thinker”

You were doing fine up until that.
