That's just about got it. Except it doesn't really say a whole lot about baby-killing, which seems to be Wesley Clark's main talent in life. Do a google search on 'milica rakic' or 'sanja milenkovic' and check out some of what turns up. I mean, basically, Clark tried bombing military targets from 30,000' for two or three weeks and then, when he learned he couldn't really hurt the Serbian military from that height, he embarked upon a wholesale campaign of war crimes targeted against Serbian civilians and their infrastructure hundreds of kilometers from any legitimate military target, all of which is illegal under Geneva conventions and every other kind of law of war in existence.

I can't even believe the democrap party is messed up enough to run a guy like that for president.

Accuses Bush of inaction before 911...That`s as far as I got. And Clinton was the epitome of action, right? How do you like this Schwarzenneger on Oprah? The guy is hanging on by the skin of his teeth simply because of the Kennedy connection, otherwise he would have been absolutely obliterated in the press. Oafrah, right away with the "sex thing"... Just curious if Ms. Goldfish eyes ever brought up that "sex thing" with the Clintons. Not that I can remember. Hey, after all, when a woman appears on national television and accuses you of rape, it`s best to completely ignore it and tell jokes. After all, it`s only rape. Just like sexual assault is "only sex". How dare Paula Jones take offense when he told her to "kiss it". Hey babe, it`s only sex. If the media in this country got any more one sided against republicans they`d be the taliban, but on the other hand that`s what they are when you come right down to it. I didn`t hear any conservative on that PBS documentary last week calling 911 "poetic justice". ITS TIME FOR THEM TO GO! 2004 VOTE NO NO NO!!! Vote liberals out of existence. Nuke `em from orbit. It`s the only way to be sure.

Sorry, couldn't bring myself to read past the headline. Let's see - Bush's 8 months v. Clinton's 8 YEARS of inaction before 9/11.

[tet68]

"What happened on 9-11, Mr. President? Why is it that eight months into your administration, why is it that there was no plan to deal with the number one threat that Bill Clinton's national security team warned you about when you took office?"

"What happened on 9-11, Mr. Clark Why is it that eight years into Clinton's administration, there was no plan to deal with the number one threat that Bill Clinton's national security team warned HIM about."

My loyalty to the Republican Party is not so strong that I would call a man who dedicated his life to military service a coward or whatever this nonsense about perfume is.

Because of his anti-gun stance, he has violated his oath to 'protect and defend the Constitution'.

As such, he is deserving of ZERO respect from any American, uniformed or not.

Furthermore, if the SOB wasn't serious about his oath in the first place, a strong case can be made for him "impersonating a military officer" and "defrauding the taxpayer".

[Mulder]

Which is a ridiculous assertion, that's frankly a bit worrisome when one realizes that an office-seeking general is comparing himself to revolutionaries.

He wanted to attack Russia while he was in Kosovo. The British general under his command wisely refused to do so.

The man is nuts, which makes him the ideal candidate in our one-party system.

[tkathy]

Maybe he could explain why Clinton spent the latter part of his presidency taking down Microsoft (thus the first hits on the stock market) instead of dealing with Osama and terrorism.

[votelife]

I really hope that Republicans blame Clinton for 9/11; and not just Clinton, the ideology of liberalism, appeasement and poltical correctness.

Compare Wesley Clark's Mass-Murderin' in Kosovo to Rumsfeld's humane treatment of the Iraqi noncombatants...
There is NO COMPARISON!!

"Kosovo Slaughter"
(To be sung to Deep Purple's "Smoke on the Water")

Yugoslavs thought they were sovereign...
Forgot 'bout that New World Order...
'Cuz NATO wanted a li'l more Power...
And Clinton's motives were VILE!!
Yeah, Slick Willie had a problem...
His Impeachment was bringin' him down...
Said, "Networks need 'em a story...
I'll bomb them Serbs outta town!!!"

Kosovo Slaughter...Death rainin' from the sky!!
Innocents slaughtered!!

Slick burned down that Waco House...
Kids FRIED!! What an Evil Sound...
In Viet Nam, Slick LIED and chickened out...
Now, Bill LOVES puttin' kids underground!!
When it all was over...
Them Sheeple they knew their place!!
But Slick's time is runnin' out...
SEEK JUSTICE...Slick must be DISGRACED!!!

Vile Waco Slaughter...small children, they did fry!!
Innocence slaughtered...

(Excellent guitar jammin')

We FReeped Slick up on Capitol Hill...
Slick's heart's empty, cold, and hard!!
Yes, we'll keep FReepin'...we must not stop!!
Left's just not Right!! The Righteous the Left doth fear!!
It's a worthwhile fight...gotta use our heads (UNNNHHH!!)
Truth's gonna save the day...
No matter what...Bill will feel Justice!!
We know...Slick knows...FReepers never forget!!

FReegards...MUD

You know, if you go to Drudge right about now (Tuesday evening) you'll see a photo of General Clark.

I find it curious that a four-star general does not know how to salute. His thumb should be pointing parallel to his fingers (not hooked into his palm) and his hand should be tilted forward so that one cannot see his palm. It's a tradition that what's in America's hand is nobody's business.

What's up General Clark? You too good for the rules guys like me used to take pride in following?

[ALOHA RONNIE]

1) T'was NATO Commander CLARK that almost single handedly started World War III during a confrontation with the Soviets at the start of the war in Kosovo.

2) Why did the CLARK's Kindergarden Friend BILL CLINTON refuse 3 Offers from the Sudan during the 1990's to bring our No. 1 Terrorist Enemy OSAMA bin LADEN to the Custody of an American Jail and Trial that would have prevented the Attacks on us all on September 11, 2001..?

3) WHY did HILLARY RODHAM and BILL CLINTON both work hard for our Terrorist Enemy HO CHI MINH's Communist Victory over US and FREEDOM during the Vietnam War..?

WHY give us all more grief and harm from these Enemies of the State in a new Time of War with our own FREEDOM now at stake..?

This from an article by Joe Galloway on Military.com

"One recently retired general, speaking privately, said: "I'm sure he'll serve himself well. He always has."

Retired Lt. Gen. Marc Cisneros, who was the Army brass's nominee for the SouthCom job but lost it to Clark, said: "He was a training-focused leader but did not appear to care about people, only himself. I value honesty and integrity in a person … and I felt that Wes was lacking in this. He is extremely competent, but self-serving to a fault."

Privately, his military critics complained that he was a micromanager who sidestepped the chain of command to push his agenda."

There is also an article off BBC saying he almost started a war with Russia and had to be stopped.

Retired Army Gen. Wesley Clark, sensing growing support for a Democratic presidential bid, said Saturday he is days away from announcing a decision and launched into an attack on President Bush.

Another Arkansian sphincter blows.
