Reply #21: How long someone has been at DU has no correlation whatsoever... [View All]

...with the verity of their research. I'm glad you admire IG, and many of us do, but she certainly has her biases. And your comment is an oblique but unmistakeable attempt to silence a low-post-count DUer. Shame on you for that. I've been at this site since January 2001, finally came out of lurk mode, and have a very low post count myself.

But I'm as familiar with our large community of DUers as you are.

Clark had his military career cut short for doing an end-run against the good old boy network Pentagon brass, because he wanted a battle approach in Kosovo that would spare more civilian lives than the plans the Pentagon wanted to use (and ended up using).

And I know IG knows this, and I'm pretty sure you know it, too. So to try to paint him as somehow being reckless in the execution of the Kosovo conflict is intellectually dishonest in the extreme.
