[The Wizard]

I flipped out when I heard Brit Hume refer to the Clinton Mafia...

Clark could be a lot of things, including a straw man...i.e. a deliberate target whom the Democrats can knock down (ever notice that Dems don't sling many arrows at each other).

[tioga]

Huh?

[ladyinred]

I figure the Clinton's are putting Clark in as their "war" person to appease those who are concerned about national defense. They know many in this country are turned off by some democrats' anti war rhetoric. Who better to fool the public with? Next stop, Hillary as his VP. Only she would really be in charge of course.

It is no secret that the Clintons have long despised the military...yet they are backing of Gen. Clark.

What is wrong with this picture?

You are correct, Wizard. You have spelled this well.

smart enough to be president, heh, heh, heh

I doubt whether Clark is connected to the Dixie Mafia. Clinton certainly was, and grew up among them in Hot Springs, as you say. And used them for his various murders.

I don't know if Clark had any connection to Mena Airport, either. I've never heard it suggested. Clinton certainly did.

But Clark was promoted with suspicious rapidity. And he DID have a connection to Waco. He was Commander at Fort Hood, which supplied Janet Reno with the armor she used to incinerate the children there.

No question that Clark is a corrupt clintonoid. No doubt Hillary has his FBI file and he will do whatever she tells him. I assume they plan to use him to sweep away the other candidates and then agree to serve as Hillary's running mate.

Anyone interested - Roger Fredinburg (Conservative) & Lowell Ponte (Libertarian) will be going over the Clark resume this hour (11-12 EDT, 10-11 CDT, 9-10 MDT, 8-9 PDT).

I heard a snippet on Sean Hannity's show today- he was pointing out the Wesley Clark was fired by Clinton as the head of NATO. Apparentl Wesley kept going over his superior's head and complaining to Clinton and it got out of hand. What a goobered up bunch.

The question is, WHY did the Clinton mob tell Clark to jump into the race? I have a theory that the Clintons want to use a Clark campaign to launder (and hide) campaign money. But that's only part of it. Watch Clark go after Dean, big time.

I think Hillary began to sweat like a pig when she saw the Dean campaign take off. Kerry and Edwards were supposed to duke it out, and the plan was to get Graham into the race to dilute Edwards' Southern vote, and then get Dean into the race to dilute Kerry's vote. Then, chuck in Moseley-Braun, Gephart, and Sharpton (did I forget anybody?) just to take a few votes away from everybody.

See, there was never supposed to be anything resembling a "consensus candidate" at the Democrat Convention - - there was supposed to be bitter infighting and general chaos so that Hillary could ride to the rescue and pick up the banner to the cheers of the liberal throng. But Dean went and really messed everything up by picking up momentum and becoming the clear frontrunner. A clear frontrunner was not in the plan.

Still, I think throwing Clark into the mix is a pretty desperate measure. The timing was pure Clinton though - - they told him to announce on the same day Edwards was long scheduled to make his own formal announcement, complete with hometown barbeque, etc. LOL, yeah, pure Clinton.

Hmmm... Then again, maybe this move by the Clintons was designed to help Dean by burying Edwards once and for all? This would only work if Hillary wants the deck cleared for an '08 run, but I cannot believe she will wait another four years.

It's a mystery.....

Maybe it should be the story of an imaginary knight who did a favor for his imaginary king. The favor was to break one of the highest rules of the kingdom. The knight, now a favorite of the king, quickly rose through the ranks of knights to lead great armies. Alas, one day the king grew tired of his knight, and fired him. A couple of years went by. The knight feeling he had been dishonored, reminded the now deposed king of the favor he once did for him. If this favor were known it would be very hard for her highness, the ex-queen, to rise triumphantly to the throne someday. So the ex-king made a deal with his old minion and now the ex-kings court jesters are hard at work helping the knight rise to power because they had to.

Clark is Hillary's Cheney, the "gravitas" factor. Wait and see.
