On August 27, 1994, Clark, then director of strategy, plans and policy for the Joint Chiefs of Staff, went to Banja Luka - and met with Ratko Mladic, the bloodstained military leader of the Bosnian Serbs. (My note: everybody apparently forgets that before Serbia's the aggression in Bosnia the same Ratko Mladic was military commander of the Serbian army ("Yugoslav Peoples Army") in Croatia and conducted large scale massacres of Croatian civillians there, especially in the ethnically "cleansed of Croatian population "Krajina", another Serb-proclaimed "republic"). The State Departement had advised against the meeting, on account of Mladic's well-documented war crimes in Gorazde, Srebrenica and Sarajevo. Still, Clark and Mladic had a jolly time. Mladic gave Clark some plum brandy and a pistol with a Cyrillic inscription, and the two merrily swapped military hats. What do you do with a man with that kind of moral cluelessness? Promote him.
Clinton urges reconciliation in Bosnia, arrest of war crimes suspects

SREBRENICA, Bosnia-Hercegovina (AFP) - Former US president Bill Clinton (news - web sites) urged reconciliation among Bosnia's three ethnic communities at the site of Europe's worst atrocity since World War II, calling for the arrest of those responsible for the Srebrenica massacre.
"For much of its history Bosniacs (Muslims), Croats and Serbs have lived together in peace," Clinton said at a ceremony marking the opening of a memorial cemetery for the more than 7,000 victims, attended by some 20,000 Bosnian Muslims.
He stressed that the US-brokered peace agreement ending Bosnia's 1992-1995 war, which pitted the three ethnic communities against each other, gave people "a chance but not the guarantee to live that way once again."
"I hope you can build on the bedrock of Srebrenica in Bosnia-Hercegovina a place where all children are safe and loved and able to live out their dreams," he stressed, speaking on a stage in front of which the remains of 107 Srebrenica victims, wrapped in green cloth, were placed on the ground before burial.
But the former president stressed that those allegedly responsible for the massacre, which he described as a "genocidal madness," were still on the run, more than eight years after Srebrenica.
"Those most responsible for the atrocities, the leaders have not been apprehended. The search for them must continue until they are," Clinton said, in a clear reference to Radovan Karadzic and Ratko Mladic.
Might have happened; it's not impossible. Do we have the mental armor to survive if we get this hypotheticizing tornado for President? It's already getting old.
Well, since Clinton was such good friends with the ChiComm, it is no wonder that nothing was done. But now, we must go after those who are attacking us, the terrorists, and China will have to wait for the moment.
General Ramsey-JimmyCarter-Clark.
What an absolute BOZO this guy is.
Instead, the Democratic frontrunner suggested that the Iraqi dictator deserved a pass by outlining what Fortune described as Clark's "Statute of Limitations for Genocidal Thugs."
In 1962 Israel found Adolph Eichmann hiding in Argentina. They kidnapped, tried, convicted, and executed him for his implementation of the Final Solution. Little did they know that they were perpetrating a GRAVE INJUSTICE since the Clarkian statute of limitations on genocide had run out?
How quickly he has attained this title!!
Discounting the INCORRECT assumption that the atocities by Saddam were NOT still ONGOING when the above statement was made, by Clark's logic any torture or murder committed that is NOT IMMEDIATELY dealt with, MUST therefore be excused. This man is an airhead. How did this PASSED OVER Brigadier General make 4 Stars?? Only X42 knows the answer!
Is this guy a complete nutwad?
That fact that Sadaam kept breaking the ceasefire agreement alone was enough to justify this war.
So if he became CIC (LoL's) would he allow the re-enstatement of Saddam as Iraqi President?
This guy is actually in the running? If he has a gnats a$$ of a chance for succeeding in his endeavor we are in much more trouble than I have ever dreamt possible in this country!
