"Gen. Clark "is able, though not nearly as able as he thinks, and has tended to put his career ahead of his men to the point of excess," said a defense consultant well acquainted with the Army's senior officers. "He is opportunistic and lacks integrity. He will be an absolute menace if he gets into a position where he can exert influence on the Army because he lacks true vision and is prone to be vindictive."

Is it any wonder the Clintonese recruited this pos?

Doesn't his military map also include command of the forces from Ft. Hood Texas that took part in the raid at Waco? Anyone have the details?

After a Serb surrender had been negotiated with the help of the Russians, Gen. Clark ordered British Lt. Gen. Michael Jackson to parachute troops onto the airport at the Kosovar capital of Pristina, so NATO would hold it before Russian peacekeepers arrived.

Gen. Jackson refused. "I'm not going to start the Third World War for you," he told Gen. Clark, according to accounts in British newspapers.

Kindly note that Russian military doctrine nowadays is a mirror-image of NATO doctrine in the 1970s--the Russians have stated that, due to the weakness of their armed forces, they will resort to nuclear weapons early (read: "first thing out of the gate") in the event of a war with NATO.

In other words, to salvage his wounded pride, Clark was willing to court a nuclear exchange.

Do we really want someone who is stupid AND crazy running the country?

The clinton calculus, that the clintons' utter failure, which unleashed global terror, would be neutralized (or at least mitigated) by any general -- and no less a general who, himself, exudes critical elements of clinton dysfunction -- is ludicrous on its face and yet another example of that unique brand of clinton rube arrogance rooted in stupidity.

All the reviews I've heard from former colleagues of Clark have ranged from very negative to
"damning with faint praise".

Run, Clark, Run!

He has improved the Democratic presidential field by entering it, just as he improved the Army by leaving it.

Zap!

It is clear to me now why Clinton rose him in the ranks.
