Former NATO commander to kick off campaign today
Clark, 58, becomes the 10th Democrat seeking to unseat President Bush in 2004. He is a West Point graduate, Rhodes scholar and former CNN military analyst who led U.S. and allied forces in NATO's 1999 air war in Kosovo. This story is from CNN.com
Matt's Chat: #10 in the Dem race. This guy nearly caused a war with Russia when he was NATO boy in Kosovo. Dems will love him...
Mark's Remarks: Gen. Clark, the man who encouraged more US involvement in a small conflict in Kosovo, who encouraged a possible war with Russia, and who has been wrong about every military development he has spoken on since Afghanistan....great, I cannot wait to see this guy eaten alive. I have friends who served in Kosovo, and they said Clark engendered as much respect from the military as Bill Clinton himself. That speaks volumes. This guy is merely a Bubba with a small shred of patriotism. Too bad he encourages quagmire, but does not see victory when it appears.
US Issues License to Murder Arafat (?)
Since very beginning there has been no doubt that the Bush Administration won't object to deportation of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat. In their verbal statements the While House and the Department of State certainly condemned the decision of the Israeli government. This is quite understandable that Americans are particularly anxious about the fact that deportation of the aged Palestinian leader automatically puts an end to his isolation and will give him a wider space for activity, even though this activity will be carried out abroad. This is not the most optimal way out of the situation. This story is from Pravda (!)
Matt's Chat: Glad to see that Russia's sense of exaggeration is still healthy. Expulsion doesn't mean execution. I support throwing Arafat out of his seat of power. Killing him would serve no useful purpose. Of course, if he slipped, fell, and broke his neck while in the shower...
Mark's Remarks: Wow, who said only the National Enquirere is sensationalist? I agree with my colleague on this one, and think Arafat needs eliminated in a manner that leaves him alive. Perhaps a sting operation to catch him doing something illegal or against Palestinian tradition? Now that could be something.....or if he fell in the shower or cut himself shaving that bulbous face of his.
Blix Says Iraq Probably Destroyed WMDs
Matt's Chat: Thanks Hans...your timing still sucks. If you thought that was the case, why didn't you SAY SO when you WERE SOMEBODY?
Mark's Remarks: Of course, Hans is going to say they were destroyed after he spent 12 years saying they were there. He doesn't want to appear wrong, or to have culpability in supposedly faulty intelligence. Someone tell this guy his 15 minutes were up a long time ago, and tell him to go home and eat some strudel.
