So I'll beat the snot out of Prissy Wesley!

On 14 February 2006 at 10:15AM ET on FOX News Channel, disgraced retired US Army general and one-time presidential candidate Wesley Clark demonstrated why he was fired by then Secretary of Defense William Cohen from his last post for integrity violations and character issues.
It had and still has to do with judgment and knowing the difference between right and wrong.
The discredited ex-soldier stated very clearly, even after being asked for verification by the show anchor, Brigitte Quinn, that the United States must negotiate with the terrorist government of Iran before using military force to prevent the mad mullahs from building nuclear warheads.
Iran's maniacal terrorist government held dozens of Americans hostage from 1979-1981. They then helped form Hezbollah, which carried out the attacks on the US Embassy and Marine barracks in Beirut. The Iranian government still funds, trains and otherwise supports Hezbollah and other terrorist groups in the Middle East.
Hundreds of Americans have been killed by Iran's Hezbollah. Today, Iran's Revolutionary Guards are killing US military personnel in Iraq by smuggling more sophisticated detonation systems and "shape charges" (explosives with directed blasts) into Iraq for use against our armed forces.
And Wes Clark says they are so honorable an enemy that we should sit down at the negotiating table with them.
An American general joins the braying herd of terrorist coddlers.
Were Patton alive, he would be beating Clark senseless.
One can not rid oneself of ingrained character flaws. The same flaw that caused General Shelton to ask for and quickly receive Clark’s firing by Secretary Cohen, has now manifested itself again in the boomerang effect: you can pretend to be free of the device, but it’s really only a matter of time before the thing comes back at you. (Shelton said of Clark: "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, things that are very near and dear to my heart." This comment was remarked upon by Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf: "I think the greatest condemnation against him . . . came from the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff when he was a NATO commander. I mean, he was fired as a NATO commander.")
Just how short of the mark must one’s integrity and character be to be very publicly fired as the Supreme Allied Commander of NATO? How fouled up must one be to have the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff dismiss a fellow general, in the same service no less?
Well, now we know.
Clark is the first general in American military history I am aware of to recommend that negotiating with terrorists is a sound and ethical policy. Of course, dishonored retired Marine Reserve Colonel John Murtha continues to demand that we first retreat, then surrender to al Qaeda in Iraq and follow up with direct negotiations with the enemy, which may mean Clark has been taking notes from the pariah Marine officer. It appears these two studied at the same school of strategy founded by Marshal Philippe P étain in 1940 France. (Pétain was the traitorous leader of the Vichy government who was sentenced to death for treason but had his sentence commuted to life in prison by Charles de Gaulle.)
Clark is a classic in that he suffers from Napoleon Syndrome (he is quite lacking in physical stature) and a remarkable absence of command presence, which partially explain his humiliating run for president that went down so quickly in defeat. Americans picked up on Clark’s shortcomings and easily recognized that this is not the kind of man Americans need as commander in chief during time of war, or any other time, presumably.MacArthur said: " . . . old soldiers never die; they just fade away."
It is far past the time for Clark to fade away.
The more Clark opens his mouth, the further he gets from ever being POTUS
A couple or so years ago I saw Clark on Hardball and Chrissy ask him why he'd been relieved of command. it looked like Clark was going to have a stroke. He finally said he wasn't relieved, he was just asked to retire early. If he can't handle being a General, he sure can't handle being the President.
What I can't figure out is why he's used time and time again on Fox? He's always been out to lunch as far as I am concerned.
When FOX has available the honorable men like McInerny and Vallaly and Pace, I can't figure out for the life of me why they added Clark! He's stupid! He makes comments that are a plain old lie! I usually switch channels when he comes on because I can't stand to even look at him.
Were Patton alive, he would be beating Clark senseless.
if only Patton , or someone very much like him , were alive today.
Long before he was a blip on the radar screen, it was clear he had some complexes.
He always had a chip on his soldier that the Kosovo war didn't give him the fame and legacy that he craved, he wanted to be a combination of Eisenhower and MacAuther.
He became a Clinton general when he thought it would suit his needs.
If he is truely stupid enough to believe Clinton was "tricked" into firing him, then he is an idiot.
Bill Clinton like everyone else, saw him for what he was, an arrogant, hyper ambitious, powerhungry ego maniac who wanted to be the general of a great war.
It says something about Clark, that even Colin Powell hated him, along with just about every other general (Tommy Franks isn't to keen on him either).
What makes me laugh is that he is probably going to try an run for president again in 2008.
So I'll beat the snot out of Prissy Wesley!
Wesley Clark tried to start WW 3 in Kosovo by attempting to attact the Russians at an airport. The British general in charge to him to FOAD, and Weasly's plan was never carried out.
Rumor has it, he cheated in war games to become a general. His side was given a 50% advantage in men, versus his opponent.
He was at WACO.
He should never be anywhere near the football.
DK
He has character issues alright, he was the one who oversaw the Waco incineration of innocent women and children.
I do find it ironic, that before this "Bush hatred" so obsessed liberals, they, and also conservatives, saw Clark for what he was.....a very dangerious man.
Everyone at the Pentagon including the famed "Clinton generals" to Republican senators, to Willian Cohen saw him as a loose nut.
I find it ironic, that very few people who knew him, ever actually supported him.
What Michael Moore and the moonbats and other idiots were thinking when they started backing him, I have not a clue.
Its pretty hard to be disliked by everyone you know.
Maybe Fox, in the name of being "balanced" wanted a well-known, liberal, Democrat military contributor. Pickings are slim there. Finding one with brains and integrity would have been even tougher.
Great quote from FMJ: "Why aren't you stomping Private Pyle's guys out?"
I can't get a word in edgewise... 'Cause Prissy Wesley keeps chanting...
I am blog ignorant and do not know where to post what's below. Will someone help me please by placing it in the right area on FR?
Thanks,

GUNNY BOB BUSTS PORT STORY WIDE OPEN
Reveals CIA Director Testified Before 9-11 Commission That Half of U.A.E. Royal Family Was In Terror Camp With Bin Laden in Late 1990s Causing US to Call Off Planned Strike
Gunny Bob reported tonight that, according to George Tenet, then Director of Central Intelligence, in sworn testimony before the "9-11 Commission" on 24 March 2004, the United States had to call off an air strike on Osama bin Laden's camp in Afghanistan because the attack "might have wiped out half the royal family in the UAE in the process."
Yes, this is the same royal family whose country owns Dubai World Ports, which is set to take over 6 US ports in a matter of days.
If the government of the UAE are such close friends of the US, why were they in a terror-training camp with bin Laden according to the DCI? One or two reasons most likely: (1) they were bringing funds and information for al Qaeda, or (2) they were bringing funds for him as bribes not to attack anything in the UAE.
