U.S. must catch Saddam — and soon, Weasley Clark says
2003-11-17
EFL & Sh*ts and Giggles!
Retired general Wesley Clark warned Sunday that the failure to capture Saddam Hussein was likely to undermine any new Iraqi government. And he said it was important to capture Saddam alive so he could be tried for war crimes.
This guy is brilliant! General Obvious Clark was later overheard declaring that the: ‘Internet would soon revolutionize the information age’. He continued, "I hear this email thing is really cool!"
Clark said he hadn’t seen the evidence of Saddam’s war crimes, a comment that prompted adviser Chris Lehane to slip him a folded note. "You should make clear that Saddam is a bad guy," the note read. Clark glanced at the note but didn’t return to the topic.
Lahane was heard whispering: "Psst...Weasley, Stop! You are making a fool of yourself!" To which the little General responded: "No really, email is cool."

#10  I watched his interview with Chris Mathews this weekend. He changed his story so many times I had trouble figuring out what side he was on. Near as I can tell he is against the war unless we have every from the Pope to Kim Jong Il sign off on it. And then only after we are sure that the other side will give up without a fight.

#9  Weasley's right, and I think it's high time he acted like the decisive leader he claims to be. He should take his campaign staff to Iraq and personally hunt down Saddam Hussein.

#8  They are trying to turn the WoT into the WoOBL.

Yep; they've been trying to make the scope of the war as small as possible since the first US bomb fell in Afghanistan. The smaller it is, the less the threat; the less the threat, the less need for it to be a national priority.

Unfortunately, the more we act like it's a small problem, the less likely we are to succeed.

#7  Ensign Wesley Crusher is smarter, a better leader, more visionary and has better experience than General Wesley Clark.

The only ticket that could beat Bush / Cheney is Picard / Riker.

#6  They are trying to do the same thing with Iraq that they are with the War on Terror. Ever notice the longer we go without a terrorist attack in the US the more they LLL's scream about not catching OBL? They are trying to turn the WoT into the WoOBL. As Iraq becomes more stable the screams for Saddam will become shriller as they attempt to turn the War on Iraq into the Hunt for Saddam. Predictable.

#4  Clark said he hadn’t seen the evidence of Saddam’s war crimes

..and what pray tell did he see of "evidence" of Milosevic's ethnic cleansing before Nato went into Kosovo? Was it much more conclusive, clearer and objective than what we have been seeing, hearing, finding since 1991 in Iraq and Kuwait?

#2  I've said it before but I like it so much I'll say it again.

Ensign Wesley Crusher is smarter, a better leader, more visionary and has better experience than General Wesley Clark.

#1  Clark said he hadn’t seen the evidence of Saddam’s war crimes

300,000 in mass graves?

Use of gas against Kurds and Iran?

Perfidy in the Gulf War and in this war?

All the weapons stored in hospitals?

Clark wants to be president, and he's THAT poorly informed? Or doesn't he consider any of that "war crimes"? Either way...
