Wes Clark talks about General Sir Micheal Jackson WW3 comment.

My meeting with Wes Clark today | December 20,2003 | Katherine Prudhomme-O'Brien

[KPfromDerryNH]

I just met Wes clark, about 15 minutes ago at the Gerrish Community Center hear in Derry, NH. He didn't call on me during the town hall meeting so I approched him afterwards. I asked about General Sir Micheal Jacksons comment about not wanting to start WW3 for Clark when Clark ordered troops to prevent Russians from taking Kosovos Pristina Airport near the end of the war.

Clark told me that Jackson was exhausted and hystserical when he said that." implying that he didn't really mean that. "Would you do the same thing again ?" I asked. He said "yes". "Try to block Russian troops from taking the airport? "Yes" Clark said. Thats when Clark took off his microphone and nervously fumbled with the off switch." "Make sure this thing is off.." he mumbled to himself. "Why are you taking off your microphone?" I demanded? He said he didn't like talking about another officer like that and he didn't know who I was, why I was there and "Look,these comments are off the record, okay?" "What!" I said...."I'm a homemaker, here in Derry. I'm not a reporter or anything. Your going to have to answer these questions in public, you know, your going to have to tell me and the public, these comments shouldn't be off the record.I would have liked to ask you in front of everybody but you didn't call on me." He said he would the next time he is in town. I hope he meant that. His wife asked me if I have read his(Wes Clarks)book, I have not. She said I would understand if I read the book. I'll go to the Derry Library on Monday morning for it. Then a guy from Clarks campaign wanted my name and phone # so he could follow up with me. I'll keep you posted. I wonder what General Sir Micheal Jackson would say about this exchange.

Have you noticed how the CIA is often made to carry the blame for other people's decisions?

[aristeides]

If someone in the US should 'hurt' his feelings, what would Clark do?

Waco gives an answer, doesn't it?

[Darksheare]

Hmmmm..
Janeane Garafolo said that no-one protested Clinton's illegal war since it wasn't fashionable to do so.
Basically the Left admits to administration by fashion fiat.

And there's no way Clark will answer any questions about bypassing the UN.
Too many tough questions for him.

[MinuteGal]

If he DOES let you anywhere near him next time (hah!), stay "undercover". Just play the innocent soccer-mom type and don't comment too much. Ask leading questions while staring at him with adoring eyes.

Then report his answers back to us. You will then be honored as a member of FR's "Deep Throat" unit and will be awarded the Freeper Eagle for Deaninguished Service.

It just shows you what asses, the democrats are. If the UN and the so-called "international community" are so important, why is it that when GH Bush put together one of the largest coalitions in the world (1991 GW)...with full UN support, only 10 Senate democats supported the president in that war? These people talk out of both sides of their ass, just so they can oppose a Republican.

[Sonny M]

Clark was connected to Shinseki, Hackworth, McCaffrey and a few other Bush haters during the war. He spewed their garbage for them.

Clark also helped raise money for the GOP in 2001, was at republican fundraiser where he praised Rumsfeld, Bush, Cheney and Rice and implied that he had voted for Bush himself not to mention also taking a subtle shot at gore.

He has obviousley since retracted, but the videotape is hillarious.

[Darksheare]

I'm pretty sure that'd be what he'd do.
Making a small side trip and connecting some dots, Shinseki spouted nothing but love and admiration for Clark at one point.
Shinseki brainstorms the Stryker which is useless in a combat environment without paved roads.
He also makes a civilian police version of the Stryker as a selling point. (Called something like the Stryker CCV or some stupid focus group junk)
The Stryker is vulnerable to .50 cal weaponry.
There's just been struck down a ban on same calibur weaponry.
The U.S. has lots of paved roads for the Stryker to travel on.

Hopefully, none of this will ever be tested out.
And hopefully the dots won't be connected in a way that makes it useable against the populace.

Great post. I love the transcript..and the way they tried to limit Slobo's cross-exam. And Democrats want these people "trying" our soldiers and politicians...give me a break.

[Darksheare]

God I sure hope someone starts asking him tough questions.

[Destro]

Your tax dollars at work. You are paying for this travesty of justice.

[Sonny M]

The Chinese embasssy was bombed intentionally, by the CIA, because they had info that the Chinese were arming and helping Milosovic. As I recall, some people were fired for this? But, in reality, the mission was carried out.

There have been rumors about the reasons for the chinese embassy bombing for a long time, one of the biggest ones is that Clark did it intentionally in an attempt to widen the war. i.e. he nuts and wants to start ww3.

[kayak]

Way to go, Katherine! You are one of FR's finest!

[Headfulofghosts]

That is true, look what Clinton and his cronies, did to the CIA. Look into the Torricilli PRinciple ( Deutch Principle)and you can see some of our problems there. Clinton and friends made our best agents either retire or be forced out, and these men and women spoke Arabic, he also made the CIA inept for an entire year, following sensitivity training. In reality, former CIA dir,. Deutch should be tried, with treason for his illegally storing info and other serious blowbacks, yet he gets off with a presidental pardon. Interesting, when you consider the fact that Wen Ho Lee, was being tried around the same time, he was humiliated and Deutch get's off with a pardon. Once again the powerful protecting the powerful! After 9-11, the CIA was told to get tough, the did in Iraq with the WMD.

Hot damn, a fifty-year-old confirmed bachelor done fell in love. Okay, okay, being fat and ugly and divorced also has something to do with it . . . but for the most part I just haven't found the woman of my dreams. Then I read your thread and, like an acne-scarred teenager window-peeping on the head cheerleader, I hurry off to your homepage and, alas, I think I discovered you're already taken. Darn it.

LOL.

You got MOJO, girlfrand. Keep it up! I can see the stupefied look on Bubba-Jean Clark's face now.

[Darksheare]

Guts.
Lotsa guts.
Hats off from this former soldier.

[aristeides]

The recent article on Weasely in the New Yorker made it clear that McCaffrey advanced Clark's career at key points in the 1990's. The article does not mention the presidential influence that I understand was involved in his last 3 promotions (J-5 and three stars, SOUTHCOM and four stars, SACEUR).

[EGPWS]

Clark’s presidential decision suggests that he believes the media will not ask him about supporting the same extremist Muslim forces in Kosovo that militarily attacked us on 9/11. He’s right:

No he's not right. The scope of media coverage has changed and that change has been proven to be appealing to the public.

They are all worse than hypocrites.

As has been proven thus the change in media coverage to the "fair and balanced" approach as demanded by the public.

The likes of "Smiling Katie" are squirming also.

[Darksheare]

Hmm.
Also makes Clark sound like a brown nosing over-inflated ego weasel.
Definately not good at all.

[Syncro]

" For example, there is the 1993 siege of David Koresh's Mount Carmel commune in Waco, Texas, where four law-enforcement officers were killed and nearly 90 civilians - men, women and children - massacred by being shot and/or burned alive.

Those seeking an investigation of his part in the Waco outrage say that Clark not only played a hidden role in the military-style assault on the Branch Davidians, but easily could have refused to participate in what was a clear violation of the Posse Comitatus Act (but he didn't) that bars use of the U.S. military for civilian law-enforcement activities."

The above is a quote from This Article

[CharlesI]

Then a guy from Clarks campaign wanted my name and phone # so he could follow up with me.

I hope you didn't give him your name or phone #, his people are Clinton's people and they have a way of getting even with those who question them.
