"The Democrats' Idea of a General"

And, none of us should forget the media's initial complicity in describing little Wesley exactly according to the Democratic playbook, as a "war hero."

Shocked? Don't be. That's how he was described on day 1, but even the media realized what a howler that was, especially because he was dumped/fired by none other than WJC.

I remember wondering, just what war did this little weasel get his medals from? I should've known better. It was just Democratic lying.

cricket:

Throw in AlGore, or "Rev" Al Sharpton, and you have a trifecta from hell.

[astounded]

That reminds me of a line from the movie "Apocalypse Now", referring to Col. Kurtz: to paraphrase "he's quite clearly insane".

[FreedomPoster]

Bump! Ann nails it once again.

[MEG33]

When he chastised the Bush administration for failing to capture Osama,he was asked about his failure to capture two Generals designated as war criminals(Mladic was one of them).

Clark said the problems of dealing with so many different countries (NATO) made it difficult to act.What's his answer to tracking Osama, NATO.

[ctonious]

Bullseye, Ann. Talking to my liberal relatives, they actually think that the war in the Balkans was the textbook way to wage war. Not that they have looked at any of the tragicomic details of the conflict, or the fact that we're still enmeshed in that ongoing quagmire.

The fact that Kosovo was waged by Democrats is sufficient justification for the targeting of civilian targets and Serbian news media, the cavalier bombing of barely discernable targets at 15,000 feet (to save Clinton having to justify casualties for this fully questionable war), and the near start of WWIII - due to the bruised ego of one General Weasely "Queeg-Ripper" Clark.

It is long past time to roll up a Sunday edition of the NYT and whack the brutal facts about this loon into the dithering psyches of these Kool-Aid drinking Democrats.

[G L Tirebiter]

I don't deny that Weasely Clerk is a loon, but this is a bad quote to infer it from. This quote actually tells me that Clerk has/had a good intuitive feel for military/civilian intelligence reporting.

You're right that the quote has the ring of basic insight into the problems with intel analysis. The problem with Clark is his assertion that he, somehow, can cut through the opacity and get the "right" answer.

[IndyMac]

You missed the point of her arguement.

She is saying that Clark is inconsistent when, on one day, he says that intelligence is "gray goo" from which you can only draw inferences and then, on the next day, says he will guarantee that he can prevent future terrorist attacks through use of intelligence.

[Brian Allen]

Gee whiz.

"Waco" Clark sounds quite promising.

Wonder what's his position on granting amnesty and surrendering America's Borders, Language, Culture and National Sovereignty to thirty to fifty MILLION actual and potential criminal alien invaders?

[capydick]

And, I think he's a little light in his loafers. Don't Ask, Don't Tell.....

[expat_panama]

Crazy liberal relatives like yours and mine can also show us that they're perfectly willing to elect these insane candidtates. Like Gore wanting to outlaw the piston engine by 2008, creating the internet, inspiring Love Story, discovering Love Canal, singing Love Me Do (oh, that part was a joke). How about Gephardt talking to his imaginary rich people? This list goes on and on.

[Savage Beast]

"NATO is the logical choice for this job because of Iraq's extremely close proximity to the North Atlantic."

Well many Americans couldn't find the Pacific Ocean on a map...

"when forced to retract that, Clark pinned the blame on an innocent U.S. pilot."

I wonder where he got the idea for that tactic.

[Poohbah]

Under Clark's command, the U.S. bombed the Chinese Embassy by mistake, killing three Chinese journalists.

TWEET! Wrongful assignment of blame, ten yard penalty!

That was BillyJeff's CIA that put together the target package on that one--the first time that the folks at the Aviano CAOC (Combined Air Operations Center) heard about the strike was when CNN reported the attack.

That was probably the one f***-up in Allied Farce that you couldn't blame on Wesley Crusher--er, Clark.

[ought-six]

"All joking aside, Ann's onto something. Clark is an empty suit in a general's uniform. Frightening."

Actually, he's an empty HEAD in a general's uniform.

Yo, General! Just switch your hats back and cuff the guy! How hard can it be!

[GigaDittos]

What a babe!!!!! Mmmmmmwaahh!

No kidding. I love hearing the rats, after having explained Clark-boy's flaws, say "But he's a General, you have to respect him for that!" Duh. President Bush is the CINC, the boss of every General. They don't respect him for that. Ask them if they said the same supportive statements of General McNamara during Vietnam....

Coulters statements about blaming the pilot... well... The current administration has done that too, remember the reservist who accidentally bombed the Canadian troops? Or Col. West, for that matter?

[GigaDittos]

Israel is even closer. Release Israel and achieve victory.
