| Clark Credits Clinton for Ghadafy Breakthrough |
| 2003-12-23 |
| 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 Gadhafi’s turnaround came nearly three years after Clinton left office. Also getting a mention should be Carter and Albright! "It’s a program of squeezing Libya that’s gone on for more than a decade," Clark told a Derry, N.H., audience, according to the Concord Monitor. "The Clinton administration was very much involved with this." Note: This ‘program’ started with President Reagan, Not Clinton. In a slap at Bush, Clark said, it "shows that you don’t need to use force to get your way in world affairs," adding that Prime Minister Tony Blair deserved credit for the Ghahafi breakthrough as well. No you don’t have to use force when a Dictator see’your willingness to use force. The retired general added new details to his charge that President Bush was responsible for leaving America vulnerable to the 9/11 attacks, saying that President Clinton tried to warn Bush about Osama bin Laden but Bush wouldn’t listen. Unlike Clinton who had his cross airs on Al-Queda after the bombed Khobar, USS Cole, US Embassies oh never mind. "He wasn’t paying attention," Clark complained. "He didn’t do his job as commander in chief." The former NATO commander said that Bush deserves to be "fired" for not doing more to prevent 9/11. "This is the way it works in the Navy, if you’re the captain of a ship, and it runs aground, they only ask two questions: Did it run aground, and were you the captain?" he explained. "If the answer is yes to both, you’re fired." Note: General Clark NATO Commander was fired by Secretary of Defense Cohen, so the man knows something about getting fired. Though Clark has repeatedly pounded away at the theme that Bush is responsible for 9/11, reporters have yet to ask him about Clinton’s confession last year that he turned down a deal for bin Laden’s arrest in Sudan. Clark just gave them the ‘Evil eye’ and threatened to kick the Sh.t out of them. |
