Kinda like the freepers did with Wesley Clark in 2003-4:

I hope more people realize the danger that this man represents to our freedoms.

His charisma makes him a very, very dangerous man.

Someone needs to email this article to the "Draft Clark" website and let them know that he will have to answer some serious questions

Sounds like Clark is Bubba's boy. I wonder if he is still taking his orders from Clinton.

Wesley Clark sounds like the first potential American Adolf Hitler.

I was at Ft Hood during the waco fiasco. There were rumors floating around about helo pilots refusing to fly any waco missions and getting orders for "elsewhere" immediately after. Rumors are just that, rumors, I never met any of the pilots in question, but the rumors were floating around both airfields. The whole thing smelled, and made its way down in the ranks. At least in the Avn companies where enlisted and warrants and officers mingled quite a bit more.

Clark is a PC weasel. Met him, wasn't impressed. Some of his antics as CO of 1st Cav were just unbelieveable.

In July, prior to going to Somalia in August, we were at the NTC in Ca. Movie stars getting rides on hawks and hueys. Lotsa Vegas trips for division level officers. Probably the worst rotation I was ever on. Stupidity reigned that trip. Our company commander and first sergeant did thier best to relieve alot of it tho. I remember alot of dog and pony shows at our airfield during his reign. Parade grounds in front of division were never busier than when he was in charge.

As a comparison at the opposite end of things, when Franks was DivCom, I think we only did the change of command for him, then we trained a helluva lot, and it was a good time to be in 1st Cav.

Clark being in any position in our executive branch during these trying days is a thought that truly scares me. More so than Hillary in a similar position. This is hot stuff whenever Clark's name is mentioned in the same breath as a political career this should be brought up.

Weasely Clark is a stalking horse for the Hillary! Campaign. She will end up with the brass ring. He will end up with second place as her sopish attempt to balance the ticket with a "military" man and therefore not scare the H#ll out of the American People.

The Nine Midgets will get nothing!

More confirmation. Wesley Clark is a dangerous man.

And the people behind him are even more dangerous than he...

I would like to see some proof that Clark was involved in the decision to attack the compound at WACO.

I SUPPOSE if you want to call the 'insertion of tear gas' into buildings over the course of five hours "an attack" that's your option; no matter how how obtuse, hyperbolic or 'stretching' the facts that may be ...

The guy's basically a war criminal and a certified, bonafide baby-killer. He tried to bomb the Serbian military from 30,000' for two or three weeks and when he figured out that wasn't working, he embarked upon a wholesale campaign of war crimes, basically trying to make the lives of ordinary Serbs so miserable and horrific that they'd somehow or other force Milosevic to hand the ancient heartland of Serbia over to the KLA/AlQuaeda narco-terrorists.

1. Don't you just love the stench of hypocrisy?
Wesley Clark was crucified by the GOP - what you've posted is evidence. Dumbasses. :eyes:

3. If you are talking about Petreaus and the 'Star, you are sorely mistaken.
This is absolutely outrageous to any of us who actually earned our "junk".

A Bronze with Valor is pretty serious business.

I hope I mis-read your intention.

5. Well, the odd part was that the Freepers were spouting the same bullshit
about Clark that you could also find here at DU!

Bottomline is that, at least, they protect who they consider to be theirs....

We on the other hand, buy what the RW sells us about ours constantly.
