Clark and Vietnam II (Even David Hackworth hates Wesley Clark!)

Even David Hackworth thinks Wesley Clark's a big fraud!

[Radix]

It is difficult to dismiss Clark's military resume` just because he is a Clinton lackey. Clark has accomplished a few things, but he was also brought along until finally Clinton gave him the big enchilada (command of NATO.)

Clark's campaign is a feint. The real objective is that he is going to run as the Hillary Beast's VP candidate. Hmm, Clark is from Arkansas, and the beast is from New York. There is no problem there with their being from different states.

'Perfumed Prince'... I love it.

[Cap'n Crunch]

I think your right.

Wonder if the PP is upset cause he was picked as the next COS or Chairman JCS.

Normally when you are saceur you go to one of those two positions, he was forced to retire by the Klintoons and was replaced by a marine.

What an insult in hsi mind and he decided he was a rat cause a rino Cohen fired him.

Of course, shinbone will be the next senator from HI and wes is jealous, so he has to trump him.

I figure clark will get as about as far in his campaign as haig did in his

[thucydides]

I think what is going on here is that the Clintons see the democrat party going down the tubes in 2004 with Dean. They want to insulate themselves by being seen to support a military man. This also helps them with their record of "loathing the military," asking senior uniformed service officers at the White House to pass hors d'oeuvres trays, etc. Clark is perfect, because he is a zero candidate, and so can pose no threat to them in the future.

Wesley Clark is a poor imitation of a good military man. We have a military department now that is incapable of common sense without electing another general as Commander-in-chief.

[nothingnew]

A saying attributed to General George Patton was that it took 10 years with troops alone before an officer knew how to empty a bucket of spit.

Very much like generals Maxwell Taylor and William Westmoreland, the architect and carpenter of the Vietnam disaster, Clark was earmarked and then groomed early in his career for big things.

BIG OLD BUMP TO THIS!

Clark doesn't appear to me as a strong looking presidential candidate, more like a wha who me? deer in the headlights gink.

[joesnuffy]

Hack is the one who first came up with the expression "Perfumed Prince" as it refers to
Gen "Weasle'lee" Clark

[11B3]

Incapable of common sense would be the State Department, not the DoD.

[Brian Allen]

"Tiananmen" KKKlark's only career victory was against the Reverend Koresh and his wife and children, parishioners, students and friends, a hundred of so were gassed, shot and burned to death by KKKlark and his tanks and riflemen at Waco Texas.

In the Balkans a war with Russia was averted only because his British subordinate refused then EURO-peon-Neo-Axis/NATO gang-boss, KKKlark's, order to attack Russian troops.

He is an unprincipled perfumed princeling scum and not fit to be Hot-Springs' AK dogcatcher.

As usual, Hackworth is mostly wrong. Clark did his time with troop units and won a Silver Star. Give him his due.

From everything I've read Clinton decided there would be no troop option for Kosovo, not Clark.

Hackworth is right about one thing, Clark was a political general, not a soldier's general.

What scared me about Clark's tour at NATO was his tendency to make bad decisions, like ordering the Brits to attack the Russians, or wanting to send unsupported attack helicopters into the Yugo mountains. I'm also concerned about the tendency to megalomania he displayed.

The Presidency is no place to give Waco Wesley a trial run at elective office.

[soothsayer99]

Clark says he had orders from the Pentagon and NATO, and that British General Michael Jack disobeyed a direct order. Clark says he was not retired early for this, it was because he kept stepping on toes (real hard) at the Pentagon.

If the truth is otherwise, I'm sure it will come out.

Disclosure: I'm a liberal who was wondering what you folks thought about Clark. It's strange to see the world on it's head like this. Conservatives agreeing with communist essays, Democrats interested in a general ... we live in interesting times, folks.

[Radix]

Please pardon my ignorance.

What did you mean by "Waco Wesley?"

Clark was involved with that slaughter designed to help the children? Is that what you are implying? I have not enough knowledge on this.

[aristeides]

How do a series of miserable Clark showings in the primaries help Hillary?

[Radix]

Hillary will have a military "expert" as her running mate. You must be able to see the value (their perspective) of that to those Marxist bloodsuckers.

It's interesting how many of these people have an "Oxford" history.

"What scared me about Clark's tour at NATO was his tendency to make bad decisions, like ordering the Brits to attack the Russians, or wanting to send unsupported attack helicopters into the Yugo mountains. I'm also concerned about the tendency to megalomania he displayed."

People need to start emailing Fox news about this. I'm sick to death of hearing about his "impeccable record". The last 2 days in a row. I'm tired of the sham that passes for news these days being allowed to continually mislead us into accepting the unacceptable.

Arkansas is AR!

Alaska is AK!

But don't feel bad - the offical GOP website never learned geography.
