Appearing on "The Daily Show," Wesley Clark compared American troops in Iraq to "space invaders" who "bust down your doors and rough up your women and throw you on the ground." Sounds exactly like what John Kerry said two years ago.
Transcript:
WESLEY CLARK: But if you didn't have those rules of engagement, like we had in some units at the outset where you just sort of knocked on doors and roughed people up. Well, look, I mean, in America, think of how it would be. I'm from Arkansas, but think of how it would be anywhere in the states, you know? An invading force comes in. They're wearing space helmets.
JON STEWART: You're talking Red Dawn aren't you? Are you talking Red Dawn?
CLARK: Sort of like that. But they're space invaders. They have laser weapons and stuff and bust down your doors and rough up your women and throw you on the ground, really, I mean.

Wesley the Clown
September 20, 2007 - 04:12 ET by Sua Sponte 75Surpised I didn't see a throw in of "I support the troops", which people think gives them free reign to slander us. Gee Wes, guess they couldn't be like you and let thousands die because of your inaction, inability to lead and your eventual firing because your an asshat. Sounds like you and Murtha are taking hits off the same pipe to me. Space invaders???? Laser weapons???? oh, and stuff? Hard to believe you ever served a day in the military. Just goes to show, those that can do and those that can't, slander.

mean soldiers suck
September 20, 2007 - 12:43 ET by TruthMonger...does anyone know if wes has ever been in combat? I really wonder. And I don't mean a thousand Clinton-yards away with lense-capped binoculars and a photograher...
But there must be a way to conduct a nice, friendly war - any vets care to pitch ideas here...?
Clark was in combat as a
September 20, 2007 - 18:34 ET by BDClark was in combat as a junior officer and company comander in Vietnam during which he was decorated and awarded the Purple heart.
That being said, I worked under him (distantly) and did not develop a favorable impression of him.
Last time I said that on this webpage I was attacked by every lib in America...
He did try to arrange it
September 21, 2007 - 00:38 ET by MikeBHe did try to arrange it so NATO went "toe to toe against the Russkies" in Sarajevo when he was in command over there. He may have served with honor at one time, but he, like Murtha is just an old, washed up, has-been a$$hat who is too dangerous to be placed in a position of power or influence. So, he'll be Hillary's SecDef, probably.

Clark writing for Osama?
September 20, 2007 - 04:34 ET by Parker1227How much do you want to bet General Clark makes it in Osama's next press release?
Maybe Hillary should lock up the Daily Kos/Truther/Moveon.org vote by choosing Osama Bin Laden as her Vice Pres running mate.
If he accepted, the secret service would have their hands full.
