Yes as I remember it Swartzkoff brought Wesley home early and bascally in disgrace. He has been a disgrace ever since. I can’t stand the sight of the guy.

[Leaning Right]

Right you are. It was next to impossible to form any sort of alliance with the old communist Soviet Union.

And it will be difficult to form any real alliance with the new semi-imperialistic Russia.

But it has to be done if the West is to push back the tide of muslim expansionism.

But it is not the policy of the USA to form such an alliance. Instead we preach to the Russians about civil rights in Russia. And we bring NATO right to their front door.

Crazy. Russia is not our long-term enemy.

Thanks. Good comments.

This story’s been known for years, though not Blunt’s role as on scene C.O. When the perfumed prince was running for POTUS the story of his order to move on those Russkie troopers being counter manded by a British general made the rounds.

“Entertainers. Is there anything they can’t do?”

No, they’re all saints and geniuses. If only Sean Penn, Michael Moore, Babs Streisand or Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon, etc, et al were running the country/world everything would just be hunky dory.

If I had my choice between Blunt and Wes Clark to lead me into battle, I would not hesitate to choose Blunt.

2. Statement #1 above aside, we were, in a strategic sense, backing the wrong side in Kosovo. We were, essentially, backing muslims against anti-muslims.

Yep. Clinton was assisting the Jihad against Orthodox Christianity. We have been there before unfortunately. One of the Christian Crusades sacked Orthodox Constantinople.

If I remember right, the Russians were holed up in a nuclear proof bunker in the airfield. It was game, set and match for the Clark Bar.

Wesley Clark (on right) with KLA Leader Hashim Thaci (on left)

The same Hashim Thaci who Carla Del Ponte (Chief Prosecutor at the ICTY) in her book "The Hunt: Me and War criminals" accused Thaci of being directly involved in human organ trafficking from civilian Serb prisoners.

These were our Allies?? Lies.

[yawningotter]

Actually, it was Michael Jackson that prevented WWIII.

[JSDude1]

Good for him, Wes Clark was an power-hungry idiot, and we had (have no business) in Kosovo.

"James Blunt said his refusal to obey orders from [American general Wesley Clark] helped avert an international incident ... [Blunt] countermanded an order from General Wesley Clark to attack Russian forces in control of Pristina Airfield in Kosovo in June 1999, during the Balkan conflict."

I still remember when Wesley Clark was an ostensible Presidential candidate during 2004; one of the liberal cable shows (I think CNN) referred to him, on a trial basis, as "American war hero Wesley Clark." But Clark's career in wartime was not distinguishing, especially as the officer in command in Bosnia, so the MSM stopped using that adjective anymore.

[JSDude1]

Agreed, in fact two of our biggest blunders after the Cold War, IM HO (and that were Clintonian blunders) were 1) We backed the wrong side in the Balkan Wars (thereby creating an enemy of Post Cold War (Democratic) Russia, and weakened probably their only (and best Reform leader): Yeltsen,

and 2) Clinton Sold computer (and who knows what else..) to Communist China in a tratorious and apparent blatant act for Chinese money for his 1996 reelection campaign.

J.S. (God is sovereign by this current world we live in was set up by Clinton and to a lesser degree: Bush).

Does this help clarify the facts

[MadelineZapeezda]

Here's an excellent column by a FReeper on the subject of the Perfumed Prince

[centurion316]

Thanks, that’s what I remembered but with a great deal more detail than my shaky memory, of course. Funny how General Jackson failed to mention Flashman, I mean Capt. Blunt, in his account. Must have been a deliberate attempt to deprive him of his proper place in history. /Sarc

[MadelineZapeezda]

I have no reason not to believe Blunt....why would he make things up if it couldn’t be verified?

[Oztrich Boy]

Clark was/is a weasel.

That's Outrageous! Weasels are tough and smart.

[a fool in paradise]

Blunt James Blunt.

The perfect song for Wesley Clark

You’re Pitiful - Weird Al Yankovic (Sung to the tune of ‘You’re Beautiful’)

My life is brilliant
What, was I too early?
Oh, sorry... Should I - do you wanna start over, or...
Keep going? Okay... now? Now?

My life is brilliant
Your life’s a joke
You’re just pathetic
You’re always broke
Your homemade Star Trek uniform
Really ain’t impressin’ me
You’re sufferin’ from delusions of
Adequacy

You’re pitiful
You’re pitiful
You’re pitiful, it’s true
Never had a date
That you couldn’t inflate
And you smell repulsive too
What a bummer bein’ you

Well, you just can’t dance
And forget romance
Everybody you know still calls you...
Farty-Pants
But you’ll always have a job - well, I mean...
As long as you still can work that Slurpee machine

You’re pitiful
You’re pitiful
You’re pitiful, it’s true
You’re half-undressed
Eatin’ chips off your chest
While you’re playin’ Halo 2
No one’s classier than you

La la la la, la la la la
La la la la loser

You’re pitiful
You’re pitiful
You’re pitiful, it’s true
Your dog would much rather play fetch by itself
You still live with your mom and you’re 42
Guess you’ll never grow a clue
Well, it just sucks to be you
