When retired General Wesley Clark announced his Presidential bid, former boss and Joint Chiefs Chairman Hugh Shelton was not enthused: "I've known Wes for a long time. I will tell you the reason he came out of Europe early had to do with integrity and character issues," he said. "Wes won't get my vote." The scrutiny of the Democratic primary contest is now revealing what General Shelton was getting at.

LMAO! Ain't that truth!

Reportedly, Weasley is known as the "prissy political, brown nosed general" by his peers.

This seems to confirm Weasley is not respected by his peers:

As David Hackworth would say ... just another "perfumed prince".
Also, isn't it ironic that Clark was pulled out of Europe (per General Shelton) over character issues? This during the Clinton administration!?

I've also read that he was known as "the perfumed prince". He lies a lot, doesn't he? I think of all of the dwarfs, even Dean, he's the scariest.

I think there's no question that, even though we may not have the evidence as Richard [Perle] says, that there have been such contacts [between Iraq and al Qaeda]. It's normal. It's natural.

Clark was a NeoCon for at least a day.
