Reply #110: False again [View All]

[Tom Rinaldo]

You are backing off one step with this post because I called you on your blanket smear against "General Officers" who are all polish and spin but lacking in real substance. You can't call Hackworth all spin and polish and you know it, so now you admit Clark was a "Good General".

And you know what? people will easily see through the shallowness of your attack on Clark because they have eyes and ears of their own. They've listened to Clinton and they've listened to Clark. You make a totally empty claim here. Clark tells people what he believes. He is the only leading Democrat who has consistently warned about the danger of a Bush war with Iran for over two years. Most Democrats are afraid to say anything that might upset supporters of Israel, and arguing for talks with Iran fits that bill, but Clark does not shy away. Clark was also the only Senior Military officer at the time who argued for sending in troops to stop the slaughter in Rwanda, whcih made him serious enemies in the Pentagon, and he has been calling for an international effort to stop the genocide in Darfur for two years. In case you haven't noticed, standing up for Black Africans has never been a real vote winner in the United States.
