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.

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.

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!

"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.

With Hillary as his VP, will Clark be dying for her to be President?

I'm not sure it's fair for Hack to attack Clark's war record. The reason Clark didn't do another tour in Vietnam was because he spent a year in the hospital recovering from four bullet wounds. Clark might be liberal, ambitious, and dishonest, but let's not attack the man's war record without more evidence.

Actually, i think a recent Hackworth article was posted where he was actually kissing Clark's rear-end.
