Wesley Clark and the "New York Money People", er, Jews

Then again, what do I know? I'm just here representing the New York Money People:

Clark is talking about the possibility of military action against Iran:

"How can you talk about bombing a country when you won't even talk to them?" said Clark. "It's outrageous. We're the United States of America; we don't do that. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying the military option is off the table - but diplomacy is not what Jim Baker says it is. It's not, 'what will it take for you boys to support us on Iraq?' It's sitting down for a couple of days and talking about our families and our hopes, and building relationships."

When we asked him what made him so sure the Bush administration was headed in this direction, he replied: "You just have to read what's in the Israeli press. The Jewish community is divided, but there is so much pressure being channeled from the New York money people to the office seekers."

Best of the Web was all over this on Friday.

So the three questions bear repeating:

  1. Why don't the Democrats care?
  2. Why doesn't the MSM care?
  3. Why doesn't the MSM care at least that the Democrats don't care?

Gary Hall thanks for the link

"I’ve known Wes for a long time," Shelton said. "I will tell you the reason he came out of Europe early had to do with integrity and character issues, things that are very near and dear to my heart. . . . Wes won’t get my vote."

Says it all right there doesn't it Gary Hall?

Btw...I wonder if very many people got up early in the morning here in this country when he would have his morning briefings with the press...the man was a maniac..if Rumsfeld or any one in Bush's administration had paced at a rapid speed back and forth repeating the same words such as 'We will win this fight by bombing' or whatever it was back then, over and over he would repeat this and pace at the same time, the guy is and was spooky, he reminded me of a madman, seriously. Like a Hitler. Just do not know how else to put it.

BT - Wes Clark

BT. In 2004 presidential race, Wes Clark became the darling of the media for quite some time. They had generally done all but beg him to run, then when he got in, he got more air time than any of the other candidates (I suspect that the MRC must have covered that).

Now, I'm not saying that he was never asked, but I personally do not remember any journalist questioning him over being fired, not to mention crossing that ground as to how suddenly everyone wants to hear his views on someone elses handling of a war.

Kinda reminds us of the treatment Kerry received vs. that of President Bush.

Exactly Gary.Look at what the

January 9, 2007 - 20:24 ET by bigtimer

Exactly Gary.

Look at what the media/politico's are doing to the President even before he has made tomorrow nights speech...it is disgraceful, let alone pathetic for our country and the safety of all... anyone with common sense knows that this is making the terrorist jubilant.... let alone how in the heck do they think the military is feeling about now....it is disgusting...of course this has been in the works for the last two weeks, you could see it gradually coming, now we have the polls that they are loving to quote tonight about only 12% of Americans are supporting a surge, Reid is claiming he has nine republican votes on the 'Sense of the Senate' votes tomorrow or whenever the vote is going to be, just to hurt the President, before or after his decision and speech, it is almost treasonous IMO.

Disgust is putting it mildly. (I seriously think we should consider making the politicians stay away from DC two years at a time, anad their mouths shut....hehehee)

I know most people do not know what goes on everyday when the House and Senate are in, but I am so furious I cannot even begin to know how to write what all they are doing and quite a few on the House side are voting with the democrats here about an hour ago...I am beyond heartsick, I am outraged.

Oh well, thanks for listening to my rant...

Btw...I may not of made it clear in my post above, but when I was talking about Clark pacing and pounding and clenching his fists, that was when he was the Allied Supreme Commander during Kosovo....just thought I would make that clear.

he's hoping for a cabinet appointment

January 9, 2007 - 17:31 ET by tumbler_2007

This demagogue is playing to the gallery: Look, I'm a statesman!

Yeah, and an anti-semite as well. Clark has no charisma, no following, no respectable license to criticize anybody. But he knows there's a chance the White House will turn Democrat in 2008, so he's jockeying for a position going into the capmpaigns. By mouthing off about hypothetical questions like this one he thinks he'll be invited on Matthews or Russert's show. He's hoping Hillary or somebody will throw him a bone.

Wesley Clark is so far beyond

Wesley Clark is so far beyond washed-up that he probably squeaks when he walks.

Plus he is an obvious anti-semite.
