(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.

This New York Times article quotes Gen. Paul Funk on Weasely Clark:

"I find him to be a guy who's very clever at determining which way the wind's blowing," said Gen. Paul Funk, who was General Clark's boss in the early 1990's. "Who knows, maybe in the political world that's a good thing."

From 1993 to 1995, Lt. Gen. Paul Funk was CO of III Corps and of Fort Hood. I suspect his comment is a reference to Clark's role at Waco.

Stellar article. Thanks for posting and thanks for the heads up Fred. (makes me proud that "true" journalism is still around)

"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."

NEVER FORGET WACO!
