Reply #73: The World War III thing would just make Clark look like a tough hombre...

during a general election, cause you've got to remember that Americans eat that sh*t up for dinner. They like "bring it on", etc....

Plus the press wouldn't allow that one, cause many in the U.S. military really don't like British General Macko Jacko of Bloody Sunday fame...

PUTIN ENDED UP INVADING CHECHNYA BECAUSE OF IMBECILE GENERAL MICHAEL JACKSON DISOBEYING CLARK'S ORDERS.

The result was a humiliation for NATO, a tonic for the Russian military and an important lesson for the then-obscure head of the Russian national security council, Vladimir Putin. As later Russian press reports showed, Putin knew far more about the Pristina operation than did the Russian defense or foreign ministers. It was no coincidence that a few weeks afterward, Russian bombers buzzed NATO member Iceland for the first time in a decade. A few weeks after that, with Putin as prime minister, Russian troops invaded Chechnya. Putin learned the value of boldness in the face of Western hesitation. Clark learned that he had no backup in Washington.
