Clark had NO role at Waco, ex commander says

[MoonRiver]

From The Chicago Sun-Times, November 29, 2003:

Federal law restricts the role of the military in civilian law enforcement operations and ''we weren't involved in the planning or execution of the Waco operation in any way, shape, form or fashion,'' says retired Army Lt. Gen. Horace Grady ''Pete'' Taylor, Clark's former commander, who ran the Fort Hood military base 60 miles from the site of the Waco siege.

''Clark's totally innocent in this regardless of what anybody thinks about him,'' says Taylor.

Much of the military equipment for Waco came from the Texas National Guard, including 10 Bradley fighting vehicles. It is unclear from the public record precisely what military gear Clark's 1st Cavalry Division supplied to civilian law enforcement agents at Waco.

But one government list specifies that the M1A1 Abrams tanks from the 1st Cavalry Division were ''not used.'' AP

1. I don't take any of the anti-Clark, anti-Dean, anti-Gep, anti-Kerry, etc.

As anything more than overzealous supporters doing damage to our chances of defeating Bush in 2000. ALL OF THEM.

2. Agreed. But I don't like it when a good man is targeted with false

innuendo and spin. Granted Clark's my favorite Dem candidate so I'm more protective of him, but I get mad when it happens to any of them.
