Clark’s skeletons

A word of warning to all those jumping onto the Wesley Clark bandwagon: Check out his involvement in the Waco massacre. Check out why he suddenly resigned his NATO command and retired from the military.

He was a commanding officer at Fort Hood, Texas, and directly in charge of supplying the materiel and troops used in the FBI and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms’ assault on the Branch Davidian compound. As the NATO Supreme Allied Commander of Europe at the time of the war in Kosovo, he ordered British Gen. Jackson to prevent Russian troops from occupying Pristina Airport. Jackson refused to follow this order saying he did not want “to start World War III.”
