Character assassination? No better target for that this year than the creep behind the President, Karl Rove. So which "evil" and mean-spirited individual do you suspect is behind the attacks against Donald Rumsfeld for having met Saddam Hussein in 1984 as a private envoy on behalf of the Reagan administration? Btw, had a lovely chat with a Clark campaign worker last night.. It's becoming apparent that some of them are recognizing that, barring a Dean political meltdown, Clark will not win the nomination. He certainly would have presented a more formidable opponent to Bush than Dean. However, there's always the possibility of a Clark VP-ship, which many feel might have recently been derailed by Clark's "slip of the tongue".. But Dean knows he needs someone with military and international experience to flesh out his campaign.. But one would think he'd need John Kerry's legitimacy and experience in the Senate in order to get his legislation through that body.. Clark adds nothing in that regard. But as the previous articles indicate, he's quite vulnerable to "dirty tricks".. As he is with regard to his being relieved of duty by Hugh Shelton. He's the only NATO commander to have suffered such a fate, and that's very telling about some of his character traits. Because that decision was not made solely by Shelton.. It would have involved ALL of the Chiefs from the various services, as well as the SecDef. Hawk

I think rather than a black mark against Clark, I see a black mark against Shelton, the JCS and Cohen as being rigidly reactionary and robustly recalcitrant about fresh ideas. Exactly what "fresh" ideas? Demanding Apache helicopters, with pilots unfamiliar with the terrain, to be deployed to Albania? Demanding that NATO threaten, or even carry out, an armed invasion of Serbia, in a country reknowned for its accomplishments as guerilla warfare? Hmmm... But once, again.. I would like to know which "evil" individual is behind the character assassinations against Donald Rumsfeld.... You didn't even attempt to answer that question, which was originally why I even bothered to post... given your vilification of Karl Rove.. Hawk
