General Clark on the Daily Show
I was listening to a talk radio show this morning on the way in to work and the host brought up the topic of General Clark's comments about our troops roughing up women and children in Iraq. I haven't found a transcript yet, but if someone finds them please post.
I can tell you that I just lost the last small measure of respect I had for Clark. He evidently wants to be a cabinet member in Clinton's administration so bad he is willing to turn his back on the very institution that made his popularity possible.
Disgusting, just disgusting. He must have no shame at all. These are certainly not the kinds of things he was saying when he was on active duty. I remember him giving a speech at CGSC around 1999/2000 and he criticized the Bill Clinton's handling of the Balkans so much that he had the student body in stitches.
I guess he's changed his mind.
The Serbs are or were undobtedly their
own worst enemy and there's enough egg in Kosovo for everyone's face -- which was my point. US 'idealism' and meddling made a bad situation worse and we got suckered. Kosovo was a lose-lose for everyone.
Clark has nothing to bragg about there...
