   The Democrats' Idea Of A General   
   January 14, 2004   
   The BRILLIANT & BEAUTIFUL Ann Coulter   
      
   (Attn. Liberals: Insert your usual, hate-filled personal attacks HERE if   
   unable to refute the article... as usual.)   
      
   DEMOCRATS are so delirious about finding a general who is a pacifist   
   scaredy-cat that no one seems to have bothered to investigate whether Wesley   
   Clark is sane.   
   On "Meet the Press" back in November, Clark described intelligence as "a   
   sort of gray goo as you look at it. You can't see through it, exactly, and   
   if you try to touch it, it gets real sticky and you might actually interfere   
   with the information that you're getting back. So you have to draw   
   inferences from it." No, wait. I'm sorry. I think that was Clark talking   
   about Monica Lewinsky's dress, not national security intelligence.   
      
   Meanwhile, Clark recently said that the "two greatest lies that have been   
   told in the last three years" are: "You couldn't have prevented 9/11 and   
   there's another one that's bound to happen." If he were president, Clark   
   says, there would be no more terrorist attacks.   
      
   The adversarial watchdog press did not ask Clark to explain how he could   
   guarantee an end to terrorist attacks, but recited Clark's prior statements   
   calling for better intelligence. Apparently, if we could just refine the   
   gray goo of intelligence to a magical terrorist-prediction machine, Clark   
   could put an end to this terrorism nonsense once and for all.   
      
   Yes, I suppose if our intelligence agencies knew who the terrorists were and   
   when they were going to strike, we could stop them. And if we knew who all   
   the raving lunatics were, we could prevent these infernal Democratic   
   presidential primary debates. Which reminds me, I think I know how we can   
   win the lottery every week, too.   
      
   Liberals scoff at a system to shoot down incoming missiles, but believe that   
   all random suicide bombers can be located and stopped before they strike.   
   Hitting a bullet with a bullet just isn't feasible, so let's concentrate on   
   something doable like predicting the future.   
      
   Democrats are utterly unfazed by the fact that Clark is crazier than a March   
   hare. They are so happy to have a pacifist in uniform, they ignore his   
   Norman Bates moments. When this peacenik criticizes the war in Iraq, he can   
   puff up his puny chest and cite his own glorious experience with blood,   
   sweat and tears in the Balkans.   
      
   Asked on "Meet the Press" what advice he would give Bush, Clark said: "I'd   
   say, 'Mr. President, the first thing you've got to do is you've got to   
   surrender' -- stop right there and the Kucinich crowd is yours -- 'exclusive   
   U.S. control over this mission. ... Build an international organization like   
   we did in the Balkans.'" Because, as everyone knows, Wesley Clark "built"   
   NATO. This guy sounds more like Al Gore every day.   
      
   Asked what countries he proposed to bring into Iraq that weren't there   
   already, Clark said, "I think you ask NATO ... just as I did in Kosovo,   
   because this brings NATO into the problem." NATO is the logical choice for   
   this job because of Iraq's extremely close proximity to the North Atlantic.   
      
   Evidently, Clark is sublimely confident that no one remembers anything about   
   his misadventures in the Balkans.   
      
   Yugoslavia posed absolutely no threat to the United States -- not imminent,   
   not latent, not burgeoning, not now, not then, not ever. (Unless you count   
   all the U.S. highway deaths caused by Yugos.) The president of Yugoslavia,   
   Slobodan Milosevic, never tried to assassinate a U.S. president. He never   
   shook his fist at the Great Satan. He didn't shelter and fund Muslim   
   terrorists -- though the people we were fighting for did.   
      
   In humanitarian terms, Milosevic didn't hold a candle to Saddam Hussein.   
   Milosevic killed a few thousand Albanians in a ground war. Hussein killed   
   well over a million Iranians, Kurds, Kuwaitis and Shias, among others.   
   Milosevic had no rape rooms, no torture rooms, no Odai or Qusai. He didn't   
   even use a wood chipper to dispose of his enemies, the piker.   
      
   And yet NATO, led by Gen. Wesley Clark, staged a pre-emptive attack on   
   Yugoslavia.   
      
   Under Clark's command, the U.S. bombed the Chinese embassy by mistake,   
   killing three Chinese journalists. Other NATO air strikes under Clark   
   mistakenly damaged the Swiss, Spanish, Swedish, Norwegian and Hungarian   
   ambassadors' residences. Despite the absence of ground troops, Yugoslavia   
   took three American POWs, whose release was eventually brokered by Jesse   
   Jackson. America was standing tall.   
      
   Clark's forces bombed a civilian convoy by mistake, killing more than 70   
   ethnic Albanians, and then Clark openly lied about it to the press. First he   
   denied NATO had done it, and when forced to retract that, Clark pinned the   
   blame on an innocent U.S. pilot. As New York Newsday reported on April 18,   
   1999: "American officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the   
   staff of Army Gen. Wesley Clark, the NATO commander, pointed to an innocent   
   F-16 Falcon pilot who was castigated by the media for blasting a refugee   
   convoy." Eventually, even a model of probity like Bill Clinton was shocked   
   by Clark's mendacity and fired him.   
      
   At the end of major combat operations led by NATO Supreme Allied Commander   
   Gen. Wesley Clark, arch-villain Slobodan Milosevic was still in power. (At   
   least Clark won't have to worry about any embarrassing "mission   
   accomplished" photo-ops coming back to haunt him.) Today, almost a decade   
   and $15 billion later, U.S. troops are still bogged down in the Balkans. No   
   quagmire there!   
      
   That's the Democrats' idea of a general.   
      
   --   
   Left-wing liberals are EVERYTHING they accuse the right of being.   
   They are mean, vicious, hateful, greedy, cold-hearted, closed-minded,   
   selfish, intolerant, bigoted and racist.
