Clark Credits Clinton for Ghadafy Breakthrough
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 Gadhafiâs turnaround came nearly three years after Clinton left office.
Also getting a mention should be Carter and Albright!
"Itâs a program of squeezing Libya thatâs 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 âprogramâ started with President Reagan, Not Clinton.
In a slap at Bush, Clark said, it "shows that you donât 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 donât have to use force when a Dictator seeâyour 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 wouldnât listen.
Unlike Clinton who had his cross airs on Al-Queda after the bombed Khobar, USS Cole, US Embassies oh never mind.
"He wasnât paying attention," Clark complained. "He didnât 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 youâre 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, youâre 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 Clintonâs confession last year that he turned down a deal for bin Ladenâs arrest in Sudan.
Clark just gave them the âEvil eyeâ and threatened to kick the Sh.t out of them.
