Gen. Wesley Clark Resigns From Stephens
ArkansasBusiness.com ^ | February 28, 2003

Posted on 03/01/2003 11:34:22 AM PST by HAL9000

Retired Gen. Wesley K. Clark, the Little Rock native and former NATO supreme allied commander in Europe, has resigned as managing director of merchant banking for the Stephens Group Inc. of Little Rock effective Friday, a company spokesman confirmed.

"He told several of us that his first assignment would be to Kuwait City for CNN," Stephens spokesman Frank Thomas said. "It was a very amicable parting, very comfortable."

Clark couldn't be reached for comment Friday morning.

He joined Stephens in July 2000, the same month he retired from the Army. He serves on the boards of directors of Acxiom Corp. of Little Rock; Entrust Inc. of Dallas; Sirva Inc. of Westmont, Ill.; and privately held Time Domain Inc. of Huntsville, Ala.

Reportedly, Clark has been weighing a run for president. In the last months, he has met with Democratic Party leaders throughout the country, including Democratic National Committee chairman Terry McAuliffe. Appearing on NBC's "Meet the Press" on Feb. 16, Clark said he had thought about running for president but has not accepted any political money or hired any political consultants.

All I can find is that Messer-Griesheim is a German company that makes industrial gases. They have a plant in Belgium, though.

You've done some terrific research here, Shermy. I'll look at it again tomorrow.

The stuff we and others are finding about Clark is creepier and creepier.

Any way, here's somethng about his son, involved in a strange movie business - to say the least. Posted here on FR and few other places on the web. Can't find anything about how the dispute ended up.

There is also the matter that Stephens is mostly affiliated with GOP candidates. They were never close to Bill Clinton as many people here believe, and Clark would probably not have the full support of Stephens in 2004.

Huh???

The Stephens Group has ties with the Rose Law firm/Clinton & Riaddy .. and now Clark

Kind of sheds new light on the interesting possibility that Wes, Sr. was paid off after the war for forgoing the bombing Messer Technogas facilities in Serbia.

I'm not saying that's what happened, but there sure is a curious coincidence.

Well.. you can't say that Clark was paid off because this involves his son

That is what the other side will say.

I didn't mean the film is connected, just implying that the film might represent another, separate, possibly dark enterprise connected to the Balkans.

"IMO, Clark is shedding the Stephens baggage before accepting the Dem vice-presidential nomination."

A home run Leni. Right on target.

I know what you mean and I'm sure it is

I'm just saying that it's best to be prepared with what the libs will say if this issue is brought up

They will start screaming the big bad VRWC is after them

They are doing that now and this would play right into their hands

We are in a battle .. and we need to prepare for the war
