One Hat Too Many



The Trouble With Wes: Democrats were giddy with excitement over Gen. Wesley Clark's announcing his candicay for president. Clark holds all the right political positions and has military service. Many feel he is exacty what they need to beat Bush. Hold tight, say I, and take a gander at this article. Gen. Clark met with the notorious Bosnian Serb commander and indicted war criminal, Gen. Ratko Mladic in 1994. The two exchanged gifts of each other's uniform hats. A photo of them wearing each other's hat floated around Europe at the time and is all over the internet now (Sorry I couldn't find a more permanent link for the photo, or i would have put it here.)



Imagine Rommel wearing an American Eagle whie Eisenhower sports a swastika armband, and you'll get an idea of how erious this situation is. Mladic is considered by U.S. intelligence as the mastermind of the Srebrenica massacre of Muslim civilians and is a still at large war criminal. And this Clark bozo wants to be president? I don't know what's worse: that he thinks he can win or that the Democrats are salivating over the prospect.
