I remember General Shalikashvili as the Commander of the 9th Infantry Division and I seriously doubt that he is what you think, while he was appointed during Clinton's, note that he DID NOT stay. I also remember Clark as one of my professors at West Point and I also believe that he not the Clinton lover that everyone here thinks he is ... if I remember correctly Clark did win his little war ... and he was and is fighting about Clinton's and the British micro management of the campaign.

What little war are you talking about?

Thank you for the comments. It had become so bad under Clinton that when he appointed someone I immediately put them on my list as qestionable. If you feel otherwise, I'm glad to hear it.

You've got to be kidding!

General Shalikashvili in 1998 - on Kosovo/Germany/Russia:
http://www.iyp.org/Archives/iyp-l/9905/msg00084.html

"The big winner was Russia, a country that got money, respect, and the position of honest broker. The most extraordinary outcome of Bill Clinton's Kosovo adventure was that it turned Boris Yeltsin into a statesman, with his representative, Chernomyrdin, taken more seriously in Bonn and Rome than Clinton's Strobe Talbott. That was no small feat for the Clinton foreign policy team. The Kosovo conflict is drawing to a close. Whether a settlement will take a day or a month, the key elements are now clear."

What do you think the General was smoking when he made these comments?

General Clark -- yes, he "won his war"....making Kosovo safe for the "Ethnic Alabanians"---which we later learned were radical militant Islamics assisted by Clinton's protected buddy -- Osama bin Laden! General Clark was long regarded as a political ass kissing perfumed prince --- and he was Hillary and Bubba's champion for bombing the Serbs into submission over to date still unproven claims of genocide involving 10s of thousands of poor "Ethnic Albanians" read as long toothed radical Islamic militants invading Europe again...

In my opinion - the best that can be said of either of these two clowns - is that they are retired. They should stay that way - and just "FADE AWAY"..

I remember Shali from the 9th as well - I thought he was a pickle kissing REMF from the start. Nothing here to change my mind. (But then again, I thought that about nearly every officer above the rank of 0-5, and I only met three above 0-4 in ten years that I actually respected.)

Are you sure you are not confusing him with some other Clark? Wesley Clark was a Arkansas NG officer before Bubba-1 brought him back on active duty and promoted him.

if I remember correctly Clark did win his little war ...

HorseHillary! If he "won" the war,why are US troops still there playing babysitter?

and he was and is fighting about Clinton's and the British micro management of the campaign.

That's one way of putting it. A more accurate way might be to say he was forced to retire because he is a certifiable nutcase who wanted to attack Russian troops and oil tankers, and who said if "Russia doesn't like it,give me 80,000 troops and I can be in Moscow in 30 days." That might not be a 100% accurate quote because it is from memory,but it IS damn close! This lunatic was wanting to attack Russia and start WW-3,and got mad when the British General Michael Jackson refused to follow his orders and did some whispering in Tony Blair's ear. Clark is criminally insane,and even Bubba-1 had to recoginize this and force him into retirement.
