I don't understand a General in the military having such an anti-war attitude. It isn't terribly difficult to understand the problems which democrats and liberals are having with the recent operation in Iraq. A minimal listing of aspects of the conflict guaranteed to cause angst and dismay amongst them would have to include:
- It was successfully conducted by a popular Republican president.
- It freed over 20 million people from a brutal oppression.
- It eliminated a major terrorist threat against us and our allies.
- It put the fear of God into other outlaw regimes, preventing future wars.
- It eliminated the need for our keeping troops in Saudi Arabia.
- It paved the way for a first Arab democracy in the region, thus taking a first major step towards resolving the most major problem in the entire middle east.
- The DNC did not benefit from the operation.
- No narco-terrorists or other criminals benefited from the operation.
- No innocent christians were killed.
Like I say, you can see why the dems are crying.

Wesley Clark is a war criminal and a certified baby-killer. He is responsible for both the Waco incident in Texas and the near debacle in Yugoslavia in 1999, and was shitcanned by the pentagon for trying to start WW-III in the aftermath of Kosovo (the famous incident of the British general refusing an order saying 'I'm not going to start WW-III for you.').
Knowing that Kosovo was another episode of dog-wagging for which he could not plausibly ask NATO airmen or soldiers to risk death or injury, Clark tried bombing Serbian military targets from 30,000' for about a month and, seeing that not working, embarked upon a wholesale campaign of war crimes directed against Serbian civilians and their infrastructure hundreds of kilometers from any legitimate military target. Thousands of little slavic orthodox kids, amongst other civilians, were killed in these mad bombing raids, which included targets such as the bridge at the little market town of Varvarin, the Chinese embassy in Belgrad, and a television station. The idea was to make the lives of ordinary Serbs so miserable that they would somehow or other force Milosevic to hand the ancient heartland of Serbia (Kosovo) over to the KLA/AlQuaeda narco-terrorists. The overall objective, of course, was to take the Juanita Broaddrick story off the front pages of our newspapers.
The laws of war have substantially changed since Hiroshima and Dresden. All of those kinds of things are illegal and have been since 1947, under Geneva conventions and every other law of war.
Somehow or other, I look at those pictures of Milica Rakic and Sanja Milenkovic, and it just seems too high a price for saving Bubba Clinton's ugly face.
All of this is Wesley Clark's handiwork. In fact, it appears to be what the guy specializes in.
In fact, the world outside the United States genreally refers to Kosovo as THE COWARDS' WAR, for reasons which were fairly obvious at the time, and this "cowards' war" was Wesley Clark's supreme accomplishment in life.
I can't believe it would be that terribly difficult to defeat the guy in an election, but Republicans have to take the gloves off, and go after the guy. In particular, somebody in a leadership position has to stand up and say to the world that the war against Serbia was wrong, and the precedent set at Kosovo must be repudiated.
There might still be time to hand Kosovo back to its rightful owners before the UN demands that we hand Texas and California over to Mexico on the same basis.

The strangest thing happened to me one day when this war was at the beginning stages a man walked up to me in the grocery store with a broken accent he asked me if I was a Christian. I answer him yes...he said do you have the Holy Spirit and again I said yes. With the most urgent look on his face he asked me to pray for Serbia, I said I would and then he just turned around and walked right out the door. To this day I have never forgotten that mans face, and to this day I believe with all my heart that Clinton and his minions would not be at all phased by your pictures.

I'm in Upstate New York and she will never let you hear what she has to say. Upstate New York is nearly all Republican and this is how she campaigned here: She simply arranged that all dissenters against her be shut out, shut off or whatever. For example, she appeared at a hospital in Cooperstown. Just her supporters were allowed to appear. All hospital staff were told to stay away from her beyond closed doors. I have often wondered why these folks didn't say "No, I want to hear what she says and perhaps challenge her". I think the were afraid for their jobs. If she runs for President, she will conduct her campaign in the same manner. However, I have great faith in the American people - and I pray they will come through.

Clark's real role as Hitlery's wind up doll is to talk when she pulls the string.
I think the string broke.

Wussley always looks like he is wearing red lipstick. I find that very unnerving .

You couldn't make up this kind of stuff if you tried. And a thousand years from now if Steyn is all that survives, they will think he did.

Wow. Thanks for posting this!
It is hard to argue that Iraq was a disaster when, in the crappy little war you, General Clark, presided over, the most powerful military on the planet took 78 days of aerial bombardment to destroy just over a dozen tanks; hard to argue that our boys shouldn't be getting picked off on the ground in Iraq when in your war they stayed up at 15,000 feet, nights only, bombing hospitals, commuter trains, refugee convoys, the Chinese embassy, etc; hard to argue that Iraq wasn't worth it when, by most accounts, there's more ethnic cleansing (Muslims against Christians) going on in "liberated" Kosovo than there was in Slobo's day.
Doesn't that just hit Clark upside the head? Heheheheheh.
