Whatever happened to the colonel? that use to be on Hannity and Colmes all the time. He wears black clothing most of the time and gave Hannity one of his medals. I can't think of his name. He has not been on any of the news shows lately.

Col. David Hackworth. I respect him, but he seems to have gone over to the dark side.!

The only qualifications for president are age and citizenship

What kind of a weak argument is that? Those are legal qualifications, not moral or ethical ones. The founders of our constitution expected the people of the Republic to be able to govern the latter. You sir are a pitiful reminder of how far our Republic has truly gone down the path of moral relativism.

Oh! now this explains why it was comming through choppy the first time, you posted it here. ;-)

I went to Fox to see if they had a transcript or article about this and there was the video. I was going to add it to the thread myself, but figured I better check the whole thing before I duped it up.

Then they assumed wrong, didn't they? We've had plenty of them - great country that we are.

Oh, so by your logic, it couldn't hurt the Republic to elect one more unqualified president... so VOTE for Clark.

You're only embarrassing yourself with the posts.

Col. Hackworth? I don't know, haven't seen him anywhere for awhile. He'd gone off the deep end, seems to me. He may have a website. I believe he used to.

As a Perfumed Prince, Clark is used to speaking while others listen. I don't think he can handle it if somebody talks back or interrupts his Golden Thoughts.

I was told by my ROTC Master Seargent Instructor that Generals are the easiest officers to talk to in the Army (more willing to listen, etc.). Clark must have been one really INSECURE general to invoke so much disrepect and outright hostility from his many subordinates and colleagues.

Yeah thats him. Have they institutionalized him yet. I have not seen him since maybe right before the beginning of the war? Did he do a book, or some type of publication?

>>I bet Clark drops out of the race by Thanksgiving.

He can't...He's holding Hitlery's place in line so she can step in and be drafted at the convention, at which time "Yes Man" Clark becomes her running mate.

His analysis during the war was wrong so now he is spending all his time trying to prove himself right. His writings of late are extremely critical.

Most military men are not going to be "fast on the trigger" because they have been there and know of what they speak.

Clark sure knew how to turn this world upside-down when he ordered an attack on the Russians. Luckily the Brits told Clark to go get bent. It's no coincidence that the Generals Shelton and Franks have spoken out against him and his inability to be an effective commander in chief.

Yeah, I did a few times. I just kept grabbing the progress button and dragging it to near the end; after 2-3 times, it played.

I just did a google news search on Hackworth and yes he is all over the place. One is here:

From hero, to whistle-blower, to celebrity

Other vets are claiming military "feminists" cooked up the entire story. "Trust me, the troops — past and present — are unhappy," the outspoken war critic Col. David Hackworth wrote last week. "Jessica was used right from the first to sell the war to the American people and to encourage their daughters to join up and be heroes."

And to you Sir - I have probably read more and know more than you can even think of so go ahead and be insulting if you like. So keep singing the praises of the military while they fight our battles for us and do what after they come home? I for one am thankful for each and every one of them.

Rhodes Scholars are selected by state, right? Which would mean that being one from Arkansas isn't nearly as prestigious as being one from New York or California, because you were competing against far fewer people for the "honor".

I don't believe that Rhodes Scholars are selected by state. They are selected by "districts", each of which includes several states. I believe that there are eight districts. For 2002, there were 32 winners.

From the Rhodes Scholarship web site, the requirements include:

Intellectual distinction is a necessary but not a sufficient condition for election to a Rhodes Scholarship. Selection committees are charged to seek excellence in qualities of mind and in qualities of person which, in combination, offer the promise of effective service to the world in the decades ahead. The Rhodes Scholarships, in short, are investments in individuals rather than in project proposals. Accordingly, applications are sought from talented students without restriction as to their field of academic specialization or career plans although the proposed course of study must be available at Oxford, and the applicant's undergraduate program must provide a sufficient basis for further study in the proposed field. Through the years, Rhodes Scholars have pursued studies in all of the varied fields available at the University of Oxford.

Basically, in my opinion, recipients are those who we had in our high school class who were known as brown-nosers.

Past winners include Clinton, Robert Reich, Wes Clark, Paul Sarbanes, Russ Feingold, Walter Isaacson (former chairman and CEO of CNN News Group), Strobe Talbott, Bill Bradley and at least 25 "American Rhodes Scholars Against the War". Are you seeing a trend here?

From the autobiographical military history, In the Company of Heroes, by Michael J. Durant (CWO4, Ret.), Night Stalker pilot and POW in Mogadishu, p. 351:

I was stunned and infuriated when self-described military hero Colonel David Hackworth attacked me in the press. He accused me not only of "ersatz" heroism but of having spilled my guts to the enemy while in captivity--without any substantiating information to back up his claim. I didn't mind people speaking their piece, but Hackworth had sent letters to the editors of my hometown newspapers in both Clarkville, Tennessee, and Berlin, New Hampshire.

I had no idea what had spurred this very personal attack, but I was infuriated. At the time, had I run into him, I would have choked him. I responded to his rantings with my own letter to the editor, wondering why a man who considered himself a fine example of military leadership would chastise a fellow soldier in public, and challenged him to debate the issue. Shortly afterward, I received a postcard from Hackworth, claiming that he "didn't have the time" to discuss it with me. I was furious. He clearly had the time to rip me apart in public, but not to face me man-to-man.

Yet when things like this happened, I could only assume that some men could only bolster their self-worth by diminishing the deeds of others. I did not consider myself a hero, just a soldier who had done his best under difficult circumstances. Most of the true heroes I had ever known were dead. The rest of us were just survivors with medals.

IMO, Hackworth is a disgrace.

Why don't you go read the article and then we can discuss how much you know.

Plus, cut the condescending BS.

Yet you defend Clark.

Hmmm...most people would be labeled a liar at this point. But I think in some cases, it's just ignorance. What do you think?
