Reply #88: Lenidog.......I like your use of "Wiser People"....

You write: "Clark stood down with the Russian because wiser people told him to do so.

Now, you've decided that for the sake of your argument it's convenient that it is now the "Wiser People" (your words, not mine) that gave Clark the order.

What I am telling you, and let me phrase this in a way that even you can understand.....
is this:
If you want to think that Shelton or Cohen gave the order....so be it. From my understanding about military command and issues....they gave the 4 star General, Supreme Allied Commander (understand Supreme?)of NATO approval of the order only. They were not on the ground, and therefore would not know about the issues with the Russians unless HE briefed THEM...and HE would have given a list of his recommendations to the "Wiser People"...the only way that the "Wiser People" would allow Clark do order a stand down would be if Clark presented THEM with a plan. In fact there would have been a Plan A, B, C...and who knows how many others...each depending on the circumstances and the reaction to any action taken.

For you to underestimate the Clinton's foreign policy team....to insinuate that the "Wiser People" would approve of anything dealing with the Russian without a plan in hand is bizarre.

Now you want me to provide you with the details of a plan that was never used.

I find that an unreasonable request which lacks any good faith...and by the way, you just keep asking questions and doubting all of the answers...yet offer nothing yourself but skepticism.

Lastly, YES, I am a supporter of the General. Do you have a problem with that? Do I get arrested just about now?

Again, If you re-read my posts on the Russian incident, have amply demonstrated that I do include facts and reliable sources when I respond.

And you?
Didn't think so.
