This brings to mind* the classic question asked by Fraiser Crane to Cliff, “Tell me Cliff, what color is the sky in your world?”

*and most of the rest of wingnut up-is-downism…

A drunk and a soldier. In Repulikkkan Amerika the drunk is always right, and the soldier (if a Democrat) is always wrong.

And that’s the way it is.

I’m guessing it’s harder to become a 4 star general than it is to be a lawyer in Minneapolis. Hell, I’m more impressed with the fawning yes man, Petraus, than I am with Assmissile.

And Clark was somewhat prophetic when he testified back in 2002.

U.S. POLICY TOWARD IRAQ
Hearing of the
Senate Armed Services Committee
September 23, 2002

SEN. CLELAND: And if you took out Saddam Hussein and
the Ba’ath Party, the secularist party, don’t the Sunnis and
the Shi’ite Muslims make up a majority of the population in
Iraq, and wouldn’t that give Iran a strong hand there, and we
ultimately end up creating a Muslim state, even under
democratic institutions?

GEN. CLARK: Yes, sir. I think that there is a substantial
risk in the aftermath of the operation that we could end up
with a problem which is more intractable than we have
today.

One thing we’re pretty clear on is that Saddam has a very
effective police state apparatus. He doesn’t allow challenges
to his authority inside that state. When we go in there with a
transitional government and a military occupation of some
indefinite duration, it’s also very likely that if there is an
effective al Qaeda left — and there certainly will be an
effective organization of extremists — they will pour into
that country because they must compete for the Iraqi
people; the Wahabes with the Sunnis, the Shi’as from Iran
working with the Shi’a population.
So it’s not beyond consideration that we would have a
radicalized state, even under a U.S. occupation in the aftermath.

It’s times like these that tempt me to pick up shop and move to Minnesota to work on the Franken campaign.

No sweeter music can I imagine than the exploding heads of Powerliners from Big Trunk to Assrocket, last seen pulling their girlie braids over their eyes while stammering ‘bring it on’ to Franken’s candidacy.

It must be very strange to be John Hinderaker.

It’s probably even stranger to be one of his kith and/or kin. We’d have to ask his children, pets, wives and girlfriends (current and former) for their input, I’m sure.

Well, I quoted your Wes Clark facts and posted them on the powerline post. We’ll see how long those last.
