Wesley Clark Suggests Internment Camps For ‘Radicalized’ Citizens

I've always liked Wes Clark. I interviewed him in 2005, when the topic of torture was new and fresh in our minds and he told me how disappointed he was in Dick Cheney. Our cell phone connection was horrible, but he called me back from the airport.

I say this because when I watched this segment I was as totally shocked as Digby was. I hope he rethinks his position after he listens to what he actually said. He's talking about bringing back WWII Japanese style internment camps to America, which has always been a blight on US history.

Clark: We have got to identify the people who are most likely to be radicalized. We've got to cut this off at the beginning. There are always a certain number of young people who are alienated. They don't get a job, they lost a girlfriend, their family doesn't feel happy here and we can watch the signs of that. And there are members of the community who can reach out to those people and bring them back in and encourage them to look at their blessings here.

Sorry....I think Clark is a nut!

[high info voter]

How bout NOT closing Gitmo?!!!

[SaveFerris]

“most likely”?

Guess one wonders what the criteria will be (here come the answers....).

Paging Mr. Alex Jones. Mr. Jones, pick up the white courtesy phone.

We got a live one for ya here.

Yah ... so ?

Clarke is the psycho who tried to get NATO troops to open fire on Russians over the Pristina Airport. Fortunately they refused that direct order.

[McGruff]

Wes was NATO Commander and running things in Kosovo, when for one of the very first times we worked directly with Russian troops in a peace-keeping role. Gen. Clark inaugurated our inaugural operation with a new ally, by ordering a British General to militarily interdict the Russians as they attempted to occupy the airport they believed they were to safeguard and operate from. Wes had other ideas and absent Gen. Mike Jackson of the British Army, he would have picked a fight with a country we had just ended 40 years of Cold War with.

One month later Wes was relieved and put out to pasture, rightfully so. Some of this was relayed to me by a person who was there but most is public knowledge.

Deport them.

[knarf]

We are in desperate times now

We've all been here in FR long enough to have argued, debated and discussed a million things ... almost all political .... and for the most part .... we are mostly conservative .... and very little has been done (since I'VE been here anyway), to correct the political mess, stop Congress from further eroding our liberty, rein in an increasingly hostile USSC .... and someone suggests a drastic measure to do SOMETHING ?

OK ... what should we do ?

Should we even make the effort to identify them ?

THEN what ?

Clark, like Trump is saying gut level, one syllable words of suggestion .... take it or leave it, but don't ridicule it

obumbles is still in the white mosque and still doesn't give a shit WHAT you say, mr and mrs American

Keep preaching the Gospel. Prepare for tough times and keep praying for God’s guidance.

I would never have believe the country would change so rapidly. Yet some part of it is.

[COBOL2Java]

He might have been a good military man if he wasn't so obsessed about "precious bodily fluids"...

Yes I know that's not Clark

[SaveFerris]

A lot of the commenters there are blaming .... (wait for it) ... Republicans!!!!

Oh, and Fox News.

[knarf]

Amen brother ... but God DID give us minds and He also gave us magistrates ....

I don't think it was His plan that the magistrates be lost, heathen anti christs and we poor minions merely Christians

I think God's plan was for His people to be in the seat of the magistrate .... just like our founders believed

Politics and a personal relationship with Jesus is the norm, not the freak show.

[rarestia]

They don't get a job, they lost a girlfriend, their family doesn't feel happy here and we can watch the signs of that.

The end result here is a sort of utopian world view where everyone's medicated into happiness and we live as drones doing the bidding of the state. Orwell saw the future clear as day.

[Jewbacca]

He also let several NATO aircraft be destroyed on the ground due to failure of perimeter.

[Stentor]

Sorry....I think Clark is a nut!

James Blunt would agree with you.

[jmcenanly]

A warning about President Clark declaring martial law? That's not Alex Jones, that's Babylon 5. If I were a Democrat candidate, I would worry about taking him as a running mate.

[cripplecreek]

Crazy thing is that James Blunt was the Recon leader who told Clarke "No" and was backed up by the top British General Mike Jackson. Today Blunt is a falsetto voiced British pop singer.



Its not my kind of music but you get the idea.

He doesn't look like much but he's the real deal soldier who grew up in a strong military family.

[SaveFerris]

I’m sure Alex is gonna be all over it.

This time, I’d probably agree it’s a valid concern.
