Yikes, Clark is really scary!
Advertisements [?]
I remember a few months ago (I have not been here for a while due to moving to a new home) that I took some major abuse for posting pro-Lieberman threads. People were freaked because he supported the war in Iraq. Well, what the heck is going to be the reaction to Wesley Clark?

Remember the warmonger general who was "on the edge" in the movie Dr. Strangelove? Not the one played by George C. Scott but the one who was trapped in his office and firing on his own men while talking about floridation conspiracies and women stealing his "energy"? One can only wonder...

"General Clark's plea for Apache helicopters to be deployed was a source of friction with the Pentagon, and there was a celebrated dispute with the British commander General Sir Mike Jackson.

He ordered General Jackson to stop Russian troops from taking Pristina airport as combat came to a close.

"I'm not going to start the Third World War for you," the British commander is reported to have replied. "

If the NATO forces under Clark's orders HAD started killing Russian soldiers who had landed in Kosovo to take part in the "peacekeeping" in the region, Putin would have either lost credibility had he not fired back in some sort of way or he would have had to relaliate. Also, remember the Chinese hatred of America -- especially after the "mistake" of bombing the Chinese embassy in Serbia -- and one can just imagine what would have happened if Clark had got his way.
