Badda-bing!!

Bump!

The rest of the article--

Does Mr. Maley have no curiosity about Clark’s role in the Waco holocaust, one of the biggest mass killings of American dissenters by the American government in our history? (If he is the Dave Maley who is public information director for well-regarded Ithaca College, you’d think his inquiring mind would want to know.)

Has Maley not already been made uncomfortable by the many creepy things about Clark that were under the rocks I have already turned over? Or is this the very reason he wants to prevent me from exposing more of these icky hidden facts to the clear light of day?

Clark’s role in Waco is an issue and a battle that the Left politically cannot win. It apparently was the pivotal factor in Clark’s rise to military four-stardom and political super-stardom, and it could and should become the cause of General Wesley Clark’s downfall, his Waterloo.

[G.Mason]

Well layed out.

Wesley Clark may well become a household name.

Akin to Reno, perhaps?

No, there will be no one calling him Mr. President.

The biggest mistake the Republicans made when going into office in 2000 was that they didn't clean house. EVERY Clinton appointed croney should have been replaced years ago.

Waco is Clinton's Bay of Pigs - The Defense of Wesley Clark

Good find. bttt

Clark paid no attention to Posse Comitatas because Clinton said he suspended it, or he, Wes or Bill, was just following orders.

The tanks would roll from Ft. Hood and over the Branch Davidians.

The Clintons' Rules of Engagement for Americans demanded that these in their church home submit or die - sounds more like Islam.

Clark has a long career of following orders without having to explain himself.

For Hillary cum Bill Clark will make a good enforcer without the ubiquitous blackrobes.

Clark will just follow orders.

Then as now, the Clintons will make America understand that once elected, we must submit or die.

(Knowing this makes it chilling to contemplate why General Clark went out of his way to learn to speak fluent Russian. Is he now secretly learning to speak Chinese?)

I'd be surprised if Clark speaks Russian fluently.

One of my buddies, still in uniform, just attended a six-month (or so) language course in the DC area. His military record will reflect that training.

Bumpesd and bookmarked. Does anyone have links to the earlier Ponte articles for which he was attacked?

I often wonder if the "illegal gun parts" Clinton's ATF was trying to recover at Waco were, in fact, manufactured by *"Park O Meter" in Arkansas. (*Firm owned by Seth Ward, Web Hubbell's farher-in-law -- and part of Clinton's "industrialization" plan for Arkansas. Supposedly supplied auto-sears for converting AR-15s shipped to the Contras from Mena, AR into full-auto M-16s). Hubble, of course, was at Reno's right hand when Clark & Reno torched the Waco church...

[Hegemony Cricket]

Great article - this, boys and girls, is another good example of why the pen is mightier than the sword...

[aristeides]

As a well-connected Texan, Karl Rove presumably has a very good idea what really went on at Waco.

BEHIND THE HEADLINES Latest contender for president
comes from long line of rabbis by Ron Kampeas

WASHINGTON, Sept. 17 (JTA) — Raised a Southern Baptist who later converted to Roman Catholicism, Gen. Wesley Clark knew just what
to say when he strode into a Brooklyn yeshiva in 1999, ostensibly to discuss his leadership of NATO´s victory in Yugoslavia. "I feel a
tremendous amount in common with you," the uniformed four-star general told the stunned roomful of students. "I am the oldest son, of
the oldest son, of the oldest son — at least five generations, and they were all rabbis." The incident could be a signal of how Clark, who
became the 10th contender in the Democratic run for the presidency on Wednesday, relates to the Jews and the issues dear to them.


Apparently Clark, 58, revels in his Jewish roots. He told The Jewish Week in New York, which first reported the yeshiva comment in
1999, that his ancestors were not just Jews, but members of the priestly caste of Kohens. Clark´s Jewish father, Benjamin Kanne, died
when he was 4, but he has kept in touch with his father´s family since his
20s, when he rediscovered his Jewish roots. He is close to a first cousin, Barry Kanne, who heads a pager company in Georgia. Clark
shares more than sentimental memories with Jews. He couples liberal domestic views that appeal to much of the Jewish electorate with
a soldier´s sympathy for Israel´s struggle against terror. Appearing in June on "Meet the Press" on CBS, Clarke said he agreed with
President Bush´s assessment that Israel should show more restraint, a reference to the policy of targeting terrorist leaders for
assassination. "But the problem is," Clark continued, "when you have hard intelligence that you´re about to be struck, it´s the
responsibility of a government to take action against that intelligence and prevent the loss of lives. It´s what any society would expect
of its leadership. So there´s a limit to how much restraint can be shown."

Speaking to the New Democrat Network this year, Clark said
that dismantling Palestinian Authority President Yasser Arafat´s Ramallah headquarters was "a legitimate military objective from their
perspective. "For the Israelis, this is a struggle really for the existence of Israel," Clark said in remarks quoted on a support group´s
Web site.

Clark is also tough on neighboring Arab states, expecting more from them in nudging the Palestinians toward peace. He has
said he would like to see Jordan, Egypt and Saudi Arabia in a "contact group" similar to the alliance that Serb-friendly Russia joined to
force the Serbs to back down in Kosovo. He blames Saudi Arabia for allowing extremist strains of Islam to spread. The former NATO
leader also opposes any active international role in policing the West Bank until the political situation is settled, a view that Israelis —
nervous at relinquishing control to foreign troops on their borders — would appreciate. Domestically, Clark favors many of the liberal
views popular with many Jews.

He is pro-choice, and is strongly in favor of separating church from state. "In order to have freedom of
religion, you´ve got to protect the state from the church," he is quoted saying on his supporters´ Web site. One of the leaders of the
Draft Clark campaign said Clark´s strength on foreign policy would neutralize an advantage President Bush now has with Jews, and
would bring the debate back to domestic issues, where the Bush administration is weaker with Jews. "It makes him credible and allows
him to focus on domestic policy," Brent Blackaby said in a telephone interview from Clark´s campaign headquarters in Little Rock, Ark.

Two of Clark´s top advisers are Jews who had prominent roles in the Clinton and Gore campaigns. Eli Segal was a top adviser to
President Clinton in his first term; Ron Klain helped run Vice President Al Gore´s
2000 campaign.
