#1 We covered this a bit in the comments under the "France Seeking to Prosecute Cheney" thread.

#2 Democratic presidential hopeful Gen. Wesley Clark said Sunday that his old boss Bill Clinton - not President Bush - deserved credit for forcing Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi to abandon his weapons of mass destruction programs, even though Gadhafiâs turnaround came nearly three years after Clinton left office.

Somebody buy Gen. Clark a watch with a built-in calendar. He seems to need one. Oh, and don't forget to SET IT for him first.

#3 General Weasel is gonna burn out some bearings spinning this hard.

I'm really disappointed, he was my brigade commander at Carson. We worked hard for him, thought it was worthwhile. Turns out he's just another spinmeister. Sad.

#4 Any word yet about how this event is clearly a slap in the face for the Bush administration?

#6 Yeah, that Clinton was like the Tooth Fairy and Santa Claus and Kim Jong Il all wrapped up into one. There's nothing Bill can't do! Damn, do I miss him!

#7 Not the least bit surprised he credits the Clintons after all they're behind his running anyway. He's become part of the rebuilding of the Clinton legacy. More of the rewriting of history campaign of Bill and Shrillery.

#8 AF Lady, There aint enough brick and mortar to rebuild the Clinton 'legacy'. Clark lives in a fantasy world, much like the rest of the Dems running for office. At least they give us something to talk about until November.

#9 We're definitely getting a good look at why Shelton, Cohen, et al., decided to yank him out of the Nato job...

#10 Clark, being a navel expert not a naval expert, forgot another pertinent question for a captain that runs aground: is you ship an LST?

#11 I just saw this great post from The Corner:

"RE: UNBELIEVABLE [Jonah Goldberg]

From a reader:

So let me get this straight...according to Clark, Clinton is responsible for an event (Libya) that happens 3 years into the Bush presidency, since he laid the groundwork for it throughout *his* 8 year presidency...BUT he is *not* responsible for an event (9/11) that happens 8 months into the Bush presidency, although he laid the groundwork for it throughout his 8 year presidency.
How did this bozo become a Rhodes Scholar?"

#12 SH #10: As in, Landing Ship, Tank, or Large Slow Target? What kind of navels are you expert in? Flora or fauna?
