Wesley Clark: American Troops Had Nothing to do With Surge Success, it "Was a Saudi Payoff That Worked".......

Clark's loving his role as military "expert" for the left. In reality, he's a fucking douchebag who sold out the men he once served with......

On MSNBC this morning, former Gen. Wesley Clark made some inaccurate statements about the application of the "surge" in Anbar province."Actually, the surge was about Baghdad and it was not about Anbar province," he said. "They didn't bring more troops out to Anbar."

Actually, two Marine battalions were added to Anbar as part of the surge. But Clark's more glaring error is his contention that the "surge" amounted to nothing more than the deployment of more troops to Iraq. The "surge" strategy consisted not only of sending additional troop but also waging a counterinsurgency throughout Iraq.

Yet Clark grants more credit to the Saudis for buying off the Anbaris than the American troops for fighting a counterinsurgency

How much did the Saudis buy Clark for? He sounds like a paid lobbyist for them. He'd be perfect for Congress to make sure we never get off Saudi oil.

Clark is a liberal with a Capital L...

Clark, long ago, was a guest on Tim Russert's Meet the Press. The questioning turned to Clark's political ambitions and his feelings on the Bush tax cut. Clark says that he would not have supported the tax cuts ... and gave the following reason:

"Well, first of all, they were not efficient in terms of stimulating the kind of demand we need to move the economy back into a recovery mode, a strong recovery and a recovery that provides jobs. There are more effective ways of using the resources. Secondly, the tax cuts weren't fair. I mean, the people that need the money and deserve the money are the people who are paying less, not the people who are paying more. I thought this country was founded on a principle of progressive taxation."

Sorry, General Clark. You have the Constitution of the United States mixed up with the Communist Manifesto. Don't feel bad though. This is a very common problem with Democrats. Your political bedmates just can't seem to tell the difference between the two, and apparently neither can you.

This country was most definitely NOT founded on the principle of progressive taxation. In fact, the Supreme Court ruled that a progressive income tax was unconstitutional! It was only after the States ratified the 16 thAmendment to the Constitution that a progressive income tax became possible.

So, just where does this idea of progressive taxation come from? , we would have hoped you would have known this. But, since you don't, I have a little reading assignment for you. It's a document written in 1848 by two characters named Karl Marx and Frederick Engels. It's called the "Manifesto of the Communist Party." "Communist Manifesto" for short.

Buried in the middle of the Communist Manifesto you will find a list of things that will have to be accomplished in the "most advanced countries" in order to bring about the realization of the dream of a proletariat revolution. You don't have to read far on that list, General Clark, to see where just what type of government is founded on the principle of progressive taxation. Item number two reads "A heavy progressive or graduated income tax."

So, General Clark. There you go. It's not the United States that was founded on the principle of progressive taxation ... it's Communism. It would have been nice if Mr. Russert had been aware of this fact, but even if he were it would have made no difference. Tim Russert has made his opposition to tax cuts for people who actually pay taxes very clear over the past year.

You might also be interested in knowing, General Clark, that Item number 10 on the Communist Manifesto list is "Free education for all children in public schools..."

That's government schools, General Clark. You might want to avoid saying that government schools were one of the founding principles of the United States. They weren't.

How did this clown make general?

Benedict Arnold. Hang 'im.

I’ve personally known a lot of generals, retired and active, not one worth the powder to blow them to Hell. Many are “nice guys” but worthless politicians. With rare exceptions, that’s what general officers do. Politics. Colonels and Navy Captains lead in the field. Sergeant and Chiefs make it work.

But this treacherous, backstabbing traitor of a “man” takes the cake.

The military exists for one purpose - to fight and win. In war time, it is always the case that the best field commanders eventually rise to the top. In peace time, only administrators and politicians rise to the top. Patton and Petraeus are perfect examples of the best of the best who rose to the top when they were desperately needed. Clark served in peace time. He’s typical of the “administrator politician general”. Only in his case, what he is doing is clearly sedition and probably is treason.

Of course, to a Libturd, Demturd congress and administration, he’s a hero.

If Adolf Obama wins, you can expect to see ALL your rights disappear. As things are going now, 300,000,000 guns will end up being the answer.

Revolutions are never the product of a movement except in rare cases such as the revolution led by Gandhi in India. Only a highly organized, small, dedicated group, acting alone, will succeed with the silent or active support of a large number of people. That is what we see happening now on the Soros financed and led Left. That is why they are winning the election race so far. The Right is completely disorganized and demoralized, led by a hack politician of dubious leadership ability, but fully capable of putting anyone to sleep when he gives a speech. McCain may be a fine man (I doubt it), but he’s not “Mr. Excitement” like Obama.

If Obama is elected, the saving grace for this country WILL be a small group of highly dedicated, organized individuals, many ex-military black ops, who will remove the government, by force if necessary, as it says We, The People have the right and duty to do, in the Declaration of Independence.

Obamamanians, dictators all, will NEVER have the loyalty of the military, only the general officers like Clark they put in power as their surrogates. We know it and they know it. The military will not defend an oppressive Libturd, Demturd/Obama government. Nor will the police. Nor will The People. Which is why we will see a Marxist-Stalinist government from the Left if they win the election.

When you think Obama, just think The Daily Kos every day, in every way, down your throat, all the time, it’ll never let up.

Just an observation, not an advocacy.

Have a nice day.

Wesley Clark will lie about anything and stab anyone in the back for power and influence.

[PK]

Not to dismiss the enormous sacrifices that our troops have made and continue to make, but there is a grain of truth here. The Islamo-fascists are riding out the U.S. election, and then they will be back to truck-bombing everything under the sun. Just wait. But yeah, in general, Clark is an idiot.
