SOME FACTS ABOUT GENERAL CLARK

Republican and Proud ^

[Andy from Beaverton]

I think this was written by Barbara Stock, but I'm not sure. One of the few authors to report of the ethnic cleansing of Serbs that we helped in Bosnia and Croatia.

Hi mom!

[Libloather]

There were no apologies and no compensation to the many innocents who died because of this sloppy bombing campaign.

Was there ever a final count on the number of civilian casualties?

[Taxman]

Good find, excellent article.

Sounds like a MacArthur wannabe.

The difference is that MacArthur was a pretty good General Officer and Clark is a disaster -- a man who advanced to high rank over the bodies of better men and women than he.

The world is full of people like that, and it is up to us to "out" them for the vermin they are.

Glad you posted this article.

If Clark were my dream candidate, perfect in every way,
that incident at the airport would completely rule him out.

I would not want him near the "football".

NEXT!

More on Clark

[Hoplite]

Not one published by Belgrade - HRW came out with 504, which was subsequently used by Milosevic's State Prosecutor in Belgrade's indictment of NATO's leaders, but it includes both Kosovar Albanian and Serb victims of our bombing, and since then Belgrade has been reluctant to quantify their civilian losses during Allied Force for some reason.

Saving for later!! Good article!!

Wes Clark is so bad he tarnishes the reputation of many institutions. Since he was a Rhodes Scholar, we must now take the Rhodes Scholars program down yet another step in our estimation. I knew it was usually a matter of finding people who would eventually make the right kind of waves politically, but really, now. A General should be more than merely a sweet-talking politiciam who tells whatever group he is speaking to exactly what they most want to hear.

He was first in his class at West Point. We now must wonder what that distinction means, if someone like him could do so well in that curriculum.

He gained four stars. This makes our military look bad.

I know there are countless good people in the military, but do the worst people have to rise to the top? Why should it be any different from the corporate world, I guess?

Even wonder why there were NO American casualties in the Bosnia/Kosovo conflict? Because Clark, knowing that his beloved President didn't want to have to deal with family members of those killed and the possible negative poll numbers, ordered very high, blind, bombings.

Number one, Kosovo was a flagrant episode of dog-wagging, the main item on American headlines the previous week having been the Juanita Broaddrick story, and there was basically no way Clark or anybody else could ask American fighting men to risk life and limb for so base a reason.

Two, the idea of no American casualties in Kosovo will not stand up to the light of day. Figure about 50 - 100 allied aircraft lost realistically.

Three, the precedent of Kosovo cannot be allowed to stand. The UN could and shortly will step in and demand that we hand Texas and California over to Mexico on the same stupid basis of ethnicity now being everything, and ownership nothing.

Good synopsis of a very real 'disater-waiting-to-happen'.

Lots of grammar errors.....needs an editor desperately.

Bump.

NEVER FORGET


...Gen. WESLEY CLARK is but a Stand-In for HILLARY's 2004 Run for the Presidency and will step aside when she announces. HILLARY's Campaign Staff is already in place working for Gen. CLARK.

...Only a future Gov. ARNOLD's California Governorship stands in HILLARY's way and thus the last minute personal Democrat Attacks on him in the Media by HILLARY's Dirty Trickster BOB MULHOLLAND.

...Vote on October 7th in California like your very FREEDOM depends on it...

..'cause it does.

Really?

Please provide either proof to back up your, um, assumption, or an explanation of why you consistently choose the side of mass murdering morons (Milosevic's minions).

Don't you just love alliteration?

[oldsalt]

I keep hearing this little bell in the back of my mind......something about a connection between Clark and Richard Holbrook and making a lot of money in the Balkans.

Does this resonate with anybody else, or am confusing Clark with someone else?

Clark is the incarnation of SNAFU.

NATO Losses during Dog-Wag III (Kosovo)

About four weeks into Dog-Wag III, a Houston television station did an interview with Milosevic and, in the course of the interview, one of the Houston guys asked Milosevic a question which amounted to a straight line which a guy like Clinton would have tried to hit out of the ballpark; Milosevic gave a perfectly straight-up honest answer.

The question was roughly (best possible from memory):

Mr. Milosevic, NATO is claiming to have lost only the one aircraft, an F117, during the Kosovo operation, and yet we read these eye-witness reports from all the surrounding countries of NATO aircraft crashing all over the place; some people are claiming that as many as 70 or 80 NATO planes may have been lost. Do you have any comments on this?

Again, a liar like Clinton would have tried to hit that one over the fence. Milosevic's response, again from memory:

You know, these planes are flying at 30,000' and when a missile scores a solid hit on a plane at that height it disintegrates, and when a less than solid hit is scored, the plane either makes it back to base in non-repairable condition or it crashes in some wooded area 25 miles away from here. Meanwhile, we're getting bombed around the clock and we just don't have the manpower to go combing the forests for downed aircraft. My GUESS would be that you could take these estimates you're hearing and divide by two or three, and you'd be somewhere ballpark.

That pretty much jibes with the estimate of 38 fixed-wing NATO aircraft lost from Strategic Studies of Alexandria, Va.

Some accounts maintain that several heavy bombers were lost.

From what I have been able to read, the only thing Milosevic is guilty of is trying to protect his country from barbarians.

The genesis of the recent problems in Kosovo was Milosevic's rescinding the autonomy of the province in 89

Basically, he had to; every other ethnic group in the province were being brutalized by the Albanians. Read it:

Typical highlights:

Ethnic Albanians in the Government have manipulated public funds and regulations to take over land belonging to Serbs. And politicians have exchanged vicious insults.

Slavic Orthodox churches have been attacked, and flags have been torn down. Wells have been poisoned and crops burned.

Slavic boys have been knifed, and some young ethnic Albanians have been told by their elders to rape Serbian girls.

I mean, that's from a NY Times article in 1987 before there was any axe to grind over Kosovo, at least in America.

I mean, calling the AKs barbarians is almost an unjustifiable insult to the memory of guys like Attilla the Hun, Genseric the Vandal, Ragnar Lothbrook...
