Clark on the offensive April 18, 1999 BY ROBERT NOVAK SUN-TIMES COLUMNIST

Members of Congress who, during their spring recess, met in Brussels with Gen. Wesley Clark, the NATO supreme commander, were startled by his bellicosity.

According to the lawmakers, Clark suggested the best way to handle Russia's supply of oil to Yugoslavia would be aerial bombardment of the pipeline that runs through Hungary. He also proposed bombing Russian warships that enter the battle zone.

The American general was described by the members of the congressional delegation as waging a personal vendetta against Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic. "I think the general might need a little sleep," commented one House member.

No 'Pearl Harbor'

An invitation by House Speaker Dennis Hastert for President Clinton to address a joint session of Congress before launching air strikes against Yugoslavia was quietly rejected by the White House.

Senior Clinton advisers sent word to Capitol Hill that the president did not want to exaggerate the seriousness of the situation. One aide said there was no need for a "Pearl Harbor" scenario--a reference to President Franklin D. Roosevelt's Dec. 8, 1941 speech to a joint session requesting a declaration of war the day after Japan's surprise attack.

Many Democrats think Clinton should have delivered a comprehensive report to the nation long ago....

There's more but this is the important stuff. It's interesting to note how Clinton plays foreign policy like it's some cheap board game. Perhaps that's what he did at Oxford. As for Clark he's more suited to Dr. Strangeglove than a Nato commander.

Tyranny by populist approval (polls); use of military and political assets in order to increase dissention, violence, warfare and death worldwide; and a lying, arrogant, pretentious rapist = Fascist, Marxist P$%.
