Wesleys grandfathers name had been Jacob Nemerovsky when he fled from Russian pogroms in the 1890s to Switzerland, where he obtained a false passport with the family name Kanne with which he immigrated to the United States. General Wesley Clark speaks fluent Russian and could become the first American President to do so. Why he has not boasted of this in campaigning for Leftist Democratic support is a mystery. His father Benjamin was an Assistant Prosecuting Attorney in Chicago, a Fourth Ward candidate for office, and a local Democratic activist. After his death, Wesleys mother and her son like Hillary Clinton moved from Illinois to Arkansas. But after graduating first in his class from the United States Military Academy at West Point in 1966 and studies in England, Wesley commanded a mechanized infantry company in Vietnam, was wounded four times but was awarded one Purple Heart, and won the Silver Star and two Bronze Stars. While Clinton spent his time in sexual dalliances and one alleged rape and leading anti-American demonstrations in Europe and visiting the Kremlin in the dead of winter by special invitation, Clark was more studious. In August 1968 he emerged with a Masters Degree in philosophy, politics and economics. The Rhodes Scholarships had been set up by British imperialist Cecil Rhodes to educate the brightest American youngsters in England, a once-secret codicil in his will made clear, so that they would go home and help bring America back under the political sway of the British Empire. Wesley Clarks career in the United States military was solid but not stellar. It included a variety of backwater assignments as well as one high point, White House Fellow 1975-76. But an unexpected bolt from the blue suddenly ignited Clarks life, turning mediocrity into a skyrocket ride that could yet land him in the Oval Office. He was named Commander of the 1 st Cavalry Division, III Corps, at sweltering Fort Hood southwest of Waco, Texas. On a late winter day in 1993, Texas Governor Ann Richards suddenly called the base, later meeting with Clarks Number Two to discuss an urgent matter. If newly-sworn-in President Bill Clinton signed a waiver setting aside the Posse Comitatus Act, which generally prohibits the military from using its arms against American citizens within our borders, could Fort Hood supply tanks and other equipment? Wesley Clarks command at Fort Hood lent 17 pieces of armor and 15 active service personnel under his command to the Waco Branch Davidian operation. It is absolute fact that the military equipment used by the government at Waco came from Fort Hood and Clarks command. The only issue debated by experts is whether Clark was at Waco in person to help direct the assault against the church compound in a scene remarkably similar to the incineration of villagers in a church by the British in Mel Gibsons movie The Patriot. What happened at Waco was the death, mostly by fire, of at least 82 men, women and children, including two babies who died after being fire aborted from the dying bodies of their pregnant mothers. Planning for this final assault involved a meeting between Clinton Attorney General Janet Reno and two military officers who developed the tactical plan used but who have never been identified. Some evidence and analysis suggests that Wesley Clark was one of these two who devised what happened at Waco. Clair noted , the ruthless tactics and attitude on display at Waco are strikingly similar to those Clark has used on other battlefields in his career. Odd, isnt it, that the Leftist establishment press has told you nothing about the connection between General Wesley Clark and Waco or what happened to him immediately after the service he rendered the Clintons at Waco? Immediately after Waco, Wesley Clarks flat career began an incredible meteoric rise . In April 1994 he was promoted to Director of Strategic Plans and Policy for the Joint Chiefs of Staff. In June 1996 Clark was named Commander in Chief of the United States Southern Command in Panama and put in charge of most United States forces in all of Latin America and the Caribbean. In June 1997 President Clinton appointed him Commander in Chief of the United States European Command and SACEUR, Supreme Allied Commander, Europe, in command of the forces of NATO, a position Clark would hold until May 2000. As SACEUR General Wesley Clark would collect a truckload of honors. He would also prosecute Clintons war siding with Muslim Kosovars against Serbian Christians in the Balkans. This war was largely fought from high altitude aircraft to minimize American casualties, an approach that increased civilian casualties on the ground. Clark soon acquired a reputation as someone who lied about such casualties, lies reported even by Time Magazine . Democrats who support Howard Dean or Dennis Kucinich for their anti-war stance should know that when Russians landed and took over one provincial airport in the region, General Clark commanded British forces to attack the Russians. British General Sir Mike Jackson reportedly refused, saying: Im not going to start the Third World War for you! Would peacenik Democrats really want General Wesley Clark, with a reputation for brutal and erratic behavior, one of those behind the events at Waco, to be only a heartbeat away from having his finger on the nuclear button? If he were Vice President, how safe would a liberal President be from attacks by fanatic former combat veterans? Can you take the risk of electing General Clark as your Vice President? And then there is the underside of the Clark family with its faint whiff of disreputability.
