I have two questions for Wes that I doubt he can answer satisfactorily:
  1. How many T-72s and BMPs can you buy for the cost of 1 F-117?
  2. How many T-72s and BMPs did you destroy in Serbia in 1999?

It's a legacy of his experience seeing the CNN beg and grovel in front of the Clinton Administration... guess he figures they would do the same for a non-Dem President.

I just saw him on pmsnbc...I doubt he could answer either question at all.

Weasel Clark...he oozes that xlintonian vibe...a self-loving ego.

I think he's setting himself up for the Veep spot.

"Apparently they called CNN. I don't have all the proof on this because they didn't call me. I've only heard rumors about it."

What an idiot. Perhps Ross Perot will hire him to protect his property from all those intruders he has (running around in his head).

Clark is a lunatic if he thinks Bush has any pull with CNN really. Although if Bill O'Reilly is looking for a ridiculous item for today, this is surely it.

Clark is obviously too stupid to realize how the "left" used him to attack the war in Iraq....IMHO.

Clark is both imperious AND delusional. What a winning combination! Snicker, snicker!

I find it interesting how the 1st two paragraphs address the title of this article...and the following paragraphs continue on as a campaign ad.

That's all this piece of garbage is.

Attention getting headline...fluff through the 1st two paragraphs and then pump him up.

Hip-wader alert!

"The White House actually back in February apparently tried to get me knocked off CNN and they wanted to do this because they were afraid that I would raise issues with their conduct of the war," Clark told Newsradio 620 KTAR. "Apparently they called CNN. I don't have all the proof on this because they didn't call me. I've only heard rumors about it."

In the immortal words of Boris Badinof, "Hoo-boy!"

I would like to appraise the retired General, sir, if you don't mind, General sir, that the words "apparently" and "actually" do not mix harmoniously in a single declarative statement. The former means "it seems" and the latter means "it IS". They are not synonamous, sir. That being the case, General, may I be so bold as to point out that "and they wanted to do this because they were afraid" is thus rendered a piece of meaningless and idle speculation, of approximately zero denotative value. Finally, sir, it is my duty to respectfully inform you that your statement of "I don't have all the proof" is a blatant lie, as your immediately following statement "I've only heard rumors about it" clearly means that you have NO PROOF WHATSOEVER. In sum, General, it would be for the best if you would forego speaking for the next thiry years or so. You would appear so much more wise if you were to do so.

Perhaps instead of the White House it was just a Canadian think-tank that pushed CNN to fire him. Sadly, Clark is easily confused about these sort of matters.
