That stuff in Post 67 is Fusion worthy! Balkans Bump!

I dismissed it at the time because Clinton had OK'd Clark's removal from NATO command. I figured wrongly that he would not run due to the baggage from that assignment and the rifts he caused in NATO.
I figure this guy has a grudge and wants to get even. He is not rowing with both oars.
"I hope he flames out like a bad firecracker. He is a dangerous man to have in power. If he get's close he will find the entire weight of his past crashing down on him. They have not even begun yet."
We'll see.
..."As the nine contenders for the 2004 Democratic presidential nomination gathered in Phoenix on Thursday for their fourth debate, three companies -- Acxiom Corp., Entrust Inc. and the privately held WaveCrest Laboratories -- announced that Clark had resigned from their boards.Clark was examining all his corporate ties, campaign spokeswoman Kym Spell said.
LOL! Just examining them now? Are his staff amateurs or what? Try this thread for starters!
I don't know if any of the speculation, guesses, and coincidence-connecting about Messer, Acxiom, etc., amounts to anything. But his son's Bosnian film adventure as documented in the Guardian - that should sell some papers! Everybody likes to hear stories about Hollywood...
I don't know what his supporters are thinking. Every week dumb things come out. Time-travel? Did you see the "speaking fee" problem? I don't blame Clark for that one, he should have advisers handling that stuff, experts on the laws. I feel sorry for him there.
But this Sacirbey character connected to Wes Clark Jr...he has a strange Soros connection too. Via a woman much in the press lately who is marrying a Dutch prince.
Sacirbey was the Bosnian foreign minister, later UN representative, involved in the allegedly shady movie deal, that Wes Clark, Jr. was connected too.
Sacirbey has been (for all I can tell) sitting in a New York jail since March 2003. Very little has been written about this.
His name popped up in a recent article involving Mabel Wisse Smit, a commoner marrying a Prince of the Netherlands. Her history was researched, and it was found that she had a romance 10 years ago with a well-known Dutch drug trade gangster. Turns out one of her other alleged affairs was Sacirbey.
For example:
Dutch prince renounces rights to throne over fiancee's tie to gangster
" Even Wisse Smit's relationship in the 1990s with the former Bosnian ambassador at the United Nations Muhamed Sacirbey -- then married and now accused of embezzling 2.5 million dollars from Bosnia's UN mission -- could not tarnish her perfect image in the eyes of the Dutch government.
There’s many articles on the web about her and Sacirbey, but they’re mostly in Dutch.
Here’s an article about her mentioning her connection to the “Open Society Institute” - the Soros operation of which Wesley Clark is a member. She is “Director” of the branch in Brussels.
"Personal Information - Mabel Wisse Smit is born 11 august 1968, Pijnacker, The Netherlands. She is more than one month older than prince Johan Friso. She studied Political Science at the University of Amsterdam. Afterward she started working for the United Nations in New York. In her work, she soon became a specialist on Balkan issues. She had a close relationship with Muhamed Sacirbey, former ambassador for Bosnia at the United Nations, and former minister of foreign affairs in Bosnia. It is not known how far this relationship went. At the end of the nineties, she left New York for Brussels, and started to work for Open Society Institute, which is owned by the Hungarian millionaire George Soros. In Brussels, she befriended Laurentien Brinkhorst, and so she met prince Johan Friso.
“...Wisse Smit, 35, an economics and political science graduate, has worked for the United Nations, the Open Society Institute -- part of Soros' network -- and a non-governmental organization promoting democracy and stability in the Balkans. ...”
Wisse Smit, Balkans, Sacirbey, Soros, Wes and Wes Jr.
More strange connections.
But all the connections with Soros make him a scary little sock puppet...
I'm betting Clark is the amateur. He's evidently made no attempt to understand the laws governing campaigns. Nor even how to conduct himself. Even more strangely, he doesn't seem to be working at improving his act. I'll betcha he blames his staff people for every mistake he's been caught at.
But, at the same time, he won't listen to them.
This guy is a GENERAL(!)...and he's got a real superiority complex. I can't imagine what it must've been like to serve under him.
Here's a site:
De vrienden van Mabel Wisse Smit
I assume that means her "friends."
Here's a translation of part of the page.
"...Gareth Evans and William Shawcross: both governing board members of the International Crisis Group, with Emma Bonino. Evans are oud-minister of foreign affairs of Australia. THE ICG are a powerful lobby for Western intervention: Ed van Thijn and Wim Kok sit on the governing board, with more important characters such as ex-NATO chef Wesley Clark, probably the provoker of Bush at the following elections. ICG are paid by the United States (USIP, grant subsidy to foreign political organisations on behalf of the American parliament). Western countries also other (including the Netherlands) join in paying, also Bill Gates, and it is not possible differently, also the OSI of George Soros. Mabel sure Smit have performed work in 1998, for the ICG, to see here http://www.crisis web.org/annual/1998/staff.htmWesley Clark is a board member of the International Crisis Group, the Soros backed foundation. This poster says Bill Gates and others fund it too! He claims that Wisse Smit worked for ICG, but the link he gives is dead.
