Gen. Wesley Clark says Libya doesn't meet the test for U.S. military action

My guess is that lickspittle is using what remains of the credibility of his brass to troll for a job with this administration.

[Gene Eric]

“Wesley Clark” — is that like a nutty chocolate bar?

It's a fruity smoothie.

That would assume we are competent to run an Empire. Bush proved that not the case, and the current occupant of the White Hut is only worse.

[Vigilanteman]

You've got an excellent point here. But Obozo is no Reagan. Hillary is no George Schultz. Not even close.

Given the nasty choice between (a)letting the whack job Qaddafi gradually reassert control of Libya and (b)getting sucked into a Libyan civil war, the former is clearly the lesser of two evils.

Gen. Wesley Clark was one of the most despised officers in the US Army by his own men. He was viewed as very liberal career ladder climber who would use the them below him to advance his own career.

[K-Stater]

We had a vital interest to stand with our NATO allies then but not now?

And if our NATO allies did something then maybe I'd consider joining. But right now they seem content to sit back and let us do it. Again.

Wes Clark, in my opinion, is a self-serving ass.

And, so I am told, he was fired because he could not be trusted.

Will Weasley be implicated in any organ harvesting investigations?

[Titus-Maximus]

We should have declared war.

[SunkenCiv]

I had a feeling I should check first.

Thanks Tailgunner Joe, yours was first.
