wes clark, general idiot
- Posted by Martin on July 2nd, 2008 filed in 2008 election, John McCain, Martin
I have never liked this weaselly-looking runt - he’s the kid that tattled at camp, shuffling around in his ill-fitting suits, making arguments that border on the preposterous (Kerry’s military experience made him a perfect fit for President, whereas McCain’s means the opposite), all the while exuding the vomit-inducing self-satisfaction reminiscent of that other lefty-convert/retread, Arianna Huffington.
So it is with some glee that I can copy/paste for you the following:
And they hurt him in U.S. military circles, where he was considered a showboating egotist and a devious political operator. Defense Secretary William Cohen told Clark, through Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Hugh Shelton, “Get your fucking face off the TV.” Shelton didn’t trust him. Nor did Gen. Eric Shinseki, subsequently Army chief. And once the Kosovo operation was finished, Cohen–with no objection from President Clinton–ended Clark’s tour of duty early. In essence, sacked him. Last month, the European edition of the U.S. military magazine Stars and Stripes carried an article asking how Clark came to receive a Kosovo Campaign Medal since you had to have either 30 consecutive or 60 nonconsecutive days in the Balkans to get one–and Clark had spent the war at NATO headquarters in Belgium. The implication was that he’d connived for it.
Quelle Surprise!!

Funny that in 2004 he said: “John Kerry’s combination of physical courage and moral values is my definition of what we need as Americans in our commander in chief”. Change ‘Kerry’ to ‘McCain’ and that statement becomes even more apt (as McCain actually showed courage and moral values during his service), yet Clark thinks Military service is no longer relevant.
