One tiny little tidbit, then I'm headin' for the hills! Machine guns are legal in over 15 states (not Washington unfortunatley but in Oregon they are) And they have accounted for no crime or violence. What do you suppose all of the families that have lost members to gang violence would say when you tell them that it really wasn't a modified AK, or an Ouzi used in that particular drive-by?

Clark and his wife are good friends with the Clintons, but that didn't save him from being fired from the SACEUR -- Supreme Allied Commander, Europe job. Clark was fired not by the Clintons, but by then Defense Secretary Bill Cohen. Clark got cross-wise with Cohen for routinely going to Clinton around both Cohen and then-Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Hugh Shelton. He did this all the time both indirectly -- through his pal Madeleine the Short -- and directly on the phone and in person with Clinton. Clark was such a publicity hound, that Cohen once ordered a subordinate, "Tell Clark to get his f#$%^&g face off television." Cohen, no small ego himself, thought Clark was hogging the camera.
Clark was fired because of his overweening ego and because he -- like so many others -- misjudged Clinton. He might have thought he could get away with what he was doing going around Cohen and Shelton, that Lil' Billy would protect him. So Clark was fired and to no one's surprise (except perhaps Clark's) Clinton didn't protect him. Now, the Clintons are using Clark again.

Here's an opinion on Clark from a war correspondent that was in Serbia during the war. He doesn't speak too kindly of the general. Frisk interview As a caveat, the reason Clark was fired by Cohen was because he didn't approve of the Pentagon's insistance of an aerial campaign. He felt the Serbs were too entrenched to simply win by bombing. So he bypassed Shelton and Cohen and got authorization to use more ground forces. It proved to be the right tactical manuever, but ultimately cost him his job.

I'm sorry, I must have missed the memo. Could someone please post the list of approved correspondents, pundits, and news sources.
I've already read Drudge and have a hard time getting by all the name calling, sarcasm, and innuendos to find any new facts.

Hey, grandpa, I gotta thank you. I'd never read any of Carville's stuff, but since you posted that I went and did some research. I found this that he wrote: In '44, Franklin Delano Roosevelt had a 700-page plan for the occupation of Japan. That's what happens when you think ahead. What was the plan this time? Who read the important documents? Let's have an investigation. If we can spend $70 million to investigate the act of consensual sex (Clinton's), we can spend a few million to find out why we are involved in a war in Iraq. Pretty damn good point he made. Especially since Coulter herself made such a big deal about the US handling the Japanese occupation, alone without any support, unlike the European occupation. So following Coulter's lead we really should investigate the president for a lack of plan.

Let me just point out again that the whole point of this thread was to see how the usual suspects try to tear him down...
"I am going to love what the haters have to say about this limp wristed, birkenstock wearing, pot smoking communist...."
...ahem...
grandpa-
The only rocks you could manage to find for ammo were someone elses opinions, pretty weak stuff really.
For god's sake man, keep those communist references coming...you DO realize that every one is a black arrow of death to YOUR credibility, don't you? Trying to paint me as some sort of left-wing political whacko might be fun for you gramps, a good way to pass the time while the 'ol teeth soak I suppose....
...but to any one of the few members of this board that actually do know me that idea is preposterous and absurd.
If the right was smart, they would quit trying to paint everyone that has questions about the war as unamerican.
...luckily though, I don't think they are going to be smart enough to figure how important that will be come election time.
We'll see, won't we?
