Clark builds case, and image, at tribunal |
2003-12-17 |
EFL THE HAGUE American presidential politics can be played on any stage, and for the past two days it has unfolded behind closed doors in a courtroom in the Netherlands. As George W. Bush reveled back home in the capture of Saddam Hussein, General Wesley Clark, who is seeking the democratic Presidential nomination, has profited from his own personal history with another dictator: former Yugoslav president Slobodan Milosevic. In two days of testimony in the international war crimes tribunal in the Hague, the retired four-star general and former supreme commander of NATO sought to burnish his credentials as a potential commander-in chief as he built the case that Milosevic was guilty of war crimes and genocide. George W Bush did not ‘revel’. But do note, that Clark has ‘profited’. Even better for General Clark, former President Bill Clinton There’s that personal character issue again. |

#2 Clark has fallen off the radar screen. Most Americans are unaware that he testified. |

#1 If Clark does get Slicks endorsement then you can bet that all the Free Thinkers in Hollywood and Rockland will line up in lock step. |
