Lo and behold: another sign that Hillary is in trouble with the military
.
Aren’t we beginning to see a PATTERN here with Hillary’s followers (staff, VP choice, political appointees, etc)
They have to be GLBT, have a criminal history or of making criminal decisions, and be short one can of a six-pack.
Until his “posse comitatus” for the Branch Dividians comes out.
The report of the Iraq Study Group is widely seen as a formal confirmation of US failure in Iraq.-------------------
What the surge would do, however, is put more American troops in harm’s way, further undercut US forces’ morale, and risk further alienation of elements of the Iraqi populace. American casualties would probably rise, at least temporarily, as more troops are on the streets; we saw this when the brigade from Alaska was extended and sent into Baghdad last summer. And even if the increased troop presence initially intimidates or frustrates the contending militias, it won’t be long before they find ways to work around the obstacles to movement and neighbourhood searches, if they are still intent on pursuing the conflict. All of this is not much of an endorsement for a troop surge that will impose real pain on the already overstretched US forces.
I saw Clark at at Town Hall with Paula Zahn and got to hear the conversations when the camera was not running. Refused to shake his hand afterward. He is an embarrassment to all military people. Within the military there is a rumor that his last couple of commands were very happy to see him leave. They could not stand him because he had already converted from being a general to being a politician. I think that some of his former staffers who have retired should really let the world know what the jerk is like.

Just when I think it can't get any worse if Hitlery were to become President, this proves me wrong. It would absolutely be worse if this U.N.-driven globalist pinko liberal ex military goof was put in the co-pilot's seat.
You mean she’s not going to choose Obama, the Magic Negro (as he is described by Al Sharpton)?
One gets the impression that CNN, Fox, and Hillary want to drop this whole primary and election thing and go ahead and proclaim her President.
This guy Clark is an opportunist jerk.
Waco Wes? It would be fitting, in a way.
The stupid leading the blind.
She supports the left
But she’s leaning to the right
I asked his harassed-looking aid if he always treated Lieutenant Colonels and Civilians that way and the aid sincerely apologized and implied that Clark never felt adequate unless he could humiliate someone, anyone.
Clark is short, with a short man's complex. He might be very intelligent, but he is short on common sense and totally ego-centric.
General Wesley Clark — who provided Reno’s troops with the armor and weapons to assault and massacre the Branch Davidians.
Wesley Clark’s career in the U.S. military was solid but not stellar. It included a variety of backwater assignments as well as one high point, White House Fellow 1975-76.
But an unexpected bolt from the blue suddenly ignited Clark’s life, turning mediocrity into a skyrocket ride that could yet land him in the Oval Office. He was named Commander of the 1st Cavalry Division, III Corps, at sweltering Fort Hood southwest of Waco, Texas.
On a late winter day in 1993, Texas Governor Ann Richards suddenly called the base, later meeting with Clark’s Number Two to discuss an urgent matter. Crazies at a Waco compound had killed Federal agents. If newly-sworn-in President Bill Clinton signed a waiver setting aside the Posse Comitatus Act, which generally prohibits the military from using its arms against American citizens within our borders, could Fort Hood supply tanks and other equipment?
Clinton did. Wesley Clark’s command at Fort Hood “lent” 17 pieces of armor and 15 active service personnel under his command to the Waco Branch Davidian operation. It is absolute fact that the military equipment used by the government at Waco came from Fort Hood and Clark’s command.
The only issue debated by experts is whether Clark was at Waco in person to help direct the assault against the church compound in a scene remarkably similar to the incineration of villagers in a church by the British in Mel Gibson’s movie “The Patriot.”
What happened at Waco was the death, mostly by fire, of at least 82 men, women and children, including two babies who died after being “fire aborted” from the dying bodies of their pregnant mothers.
Planning for this final assault involved a meeting between Clinton Attorney General Janet Reno and two military officers who developed the tactical plan used but who have never been identified.
Some evidence and analysis suggests that Wesley Clark was one of these two who devised what happened at Waco.
As Leftist journalists Alexander Cockburn and Jeffrey St. Clair noted, the ruthless tactics and attitude on display at Waco are strikingly similar to those Clark has used on other battlefields in his career.
Odd, isn’t it, that the Leftist establishment press has told you nothing about the connection between General Wesley Clark and Waco – or what happened to him immediately after the service he rendered the Clintons at Waco?
Immediately after Waco, Wesley Clark’s flat career began an incredible meteoric rise.
In April 1994 he was promoted to Director of Strategic Plans and Policy for the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
In June 1996 Clark was named Commander in Chief of the U.S. Southern Command in Panama and put in charge of most U.S. forces in all of Latin America and the Caribbean.
In June 1997 President Clinton appointed him Commander in Chief of the United States European Command and SACEUR, Supreme Allied Commander, Europe, in command of the forces of NATO, a position Clark would hold until May 2000.
As SACEUR General Wesley Clark would collect a truckload of honors. He would also prosecute Clinton’s war siding with Muslim Kosovars against Serbian Christians in the Balkans.
This war was largely fought from high altitude aircraft to minimize American casualties, an approach that increased civilian casualties on the ground. Clark soon acquired a reputation as someone who lied about such casualties, lies reported even by Time Magazine.
Democrats who support Howard Dean or Dennis Kucinich for their anti-war stance should know that when Russians landed and took over one provincial airport in the region, General Clark commanded British forces to attack the Russians. British General Sir Mike Jackson reportedly refused, saying: “I’m not going to start the Third World War for you!”
Would peacenik Democrats really want General Wesley Clark, with a reputation for brutal and erratic behavior, one of those behind the events at Waco, to be only a heartbeat away from having his finger on the nuclear button? If he were Vice President, how safe would a liberal President be from attacks by fanatic former combat veterans? Can you take the risk of electing General Clark as your Vice President?
God- What a scary thought- Hitlery and Crazy Man combined in the White House with their fingers on the Nuclear buttons.
