"Diplomacy backed by force."
LOL
Misunderstanding. It was 'Diplomacy marked by farce.'
I'm surprised he didn't get heckled and booed by the Jew-haters in the crowd!
Droopy is as interesting as ever.....
Was Clark at Waco?
On February 28, 1993 the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms launched its disastrous and lethal raid on the Branch Dividian compound outside Waco, Texas. Even before the raid, members of the US Armed Forces, many of them in civilian dress, were around the compound.
In the wake of the Feb 28 debacle Texas governor Anne Richards asked to consult with knowledgeable military personnel. Her request went to the US Army base at Fort Hood, where the commanding officer of the US Army's III corps referred her to the Cavalry Division of the III Corps, whose commander at the time was Wesley Clark. Subsequent congressional enquiry records that Richards met with Wesley Clark's number two, the assistant division commander, who advised her on military equipment that might be used in a subsequent raid. Clark's man, at Richard's request, also met with the head of the Texas National Guard.
Two senior Army officers subsequently travelled to a crucial April 14 meeting in Washington, D.C. with Attorney General Janet Reno and Justice Department and FBI officials in which the impending April 19 attack on the compound was reviewed. The 186-page "Investigation into the Activities of Federal Law Enforcement Agencies Towards the Branch Davidians", prepared by the Committee on Government Reform and Oversight and lodged in 1996 (CR 104 749) does not name these two officers and at deadline CounterPunch has so far been unable to unearth them. One of these officers had reconnoitered the Branch Davidian compound a day earlier, on April 13. During the Justice Dept. meeting one of the officers told Reno that if the military had been called in to end a barricade situation as part of a military operation in a foreign country, it would focus its efforts on "taking out" the leader of the operation.
Ultimately tanks from Fort Hood were used in the final catastrophic assault on the Branch Davidian compound on April 19. Certainly the Waco onslaught bears characteristics typical of Gen. Wesley Clark: the eagerness to take out the leader (viz., the Clark-ordered bombing of Milosevich's private residence); the utter disregard for the lives of innocent men, women and children; the arrogant miscalculations about the effects of force; disregard for law, whether of the Posse Comitatus Act governing military actions within the United States or, abroad, the purview of the Nuremberg laws on war crimes and attacks on civilians.
FEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR
Interesting speaker line up strategy...using a bunch of Presidential wannabe losers to introduce the next Presidential wannabe loser...I don't think it will work...
Still talking about that 2000 election.
Well, as ridiculously exhilirating as this 'rat con is, I'm out for 20-30 mins; my episode of Naruto is finished downloading.
Very brave of him, considering all the Jew-haters in the audience!
Lieberman supports the war, and only crickets can be heard. LOL
Every life (but only if it escapes the womb).......
So tonight, in the city where America's freedom began, only a few blocks from where the sons and daughters of liberty gave birth to our nation--here tonight, on behalf of a new birth of freedom--on behalf of the middle class who deserve a champion, and those struggling to join it who deserve a fair shot --for the brave mmen and women in uniform who risk their lives every day and the families who pray for their return--for all those who believe that our best days are ahead of us--for all of you--with great faith in the American people, I accept your nomination for President of the United States.He's toast.
He's right to a degree...but Kerry is an agent of France. Unlikely to occur under him.
Well, he did have a few Hummers in the Oral Office!
Did General Crock ever find those Spacecrafts at Area 51??
Pray for W and Our Troops
Well Joe if you need wise leaders,that leaves Kerry and Edwards out!
Lieberman may support the war, but he still tried to deny the warriors their right to vote.
How'd that get past the censors?
I just got here, is he President yet?
