48. They were there
Edited on Fri Dec-26-03 03:10 PM by Tinoire
They are the people Clark was talking about when he praised the PNACers in that March 2003 Salon interview and said they were a fine group of men with whom he would work again.

Doug Feith was up to his neck in the Yugoslavia adventure. It was his firm, Feith and Zell, that established the Bosnia Fund, into which wealthy Muslim countries deposited obscene sums of money to buy arms the Bosnians who were then trained by the US.

It was also Feith and Perle who worked with Clark on the Dayton Peace Talks & advised the Bosnian delegation.

It was the first step of the PNAC war without end. Problem is, we were sleeping. Check the Muslims papers and you'll see they had caught on to this already.

I am trying to find a quote I found last week about Wolfowitz and Clark pushing for the intervention in Yugoslavia over the objections of most politicians and the Pentagon because we had no UN support and it would have been totally illegal. It was a great quote- something about the entire world, edge of a catastrophe and I can't believe I lost it!

I will alo venture to guess that the Pentagon also realized that the intelligence was fabricated. If you want, I will dig up the information about the PR firm that was at the center of getting people all excited for this war... very similar to the Kuwaiti babies from the incubator stories.

My take on this from having followed these things for years is that the PNAC cancer is eating away at both the Democratic Party and the Republican Party. Our real enemy usn't the guy in the other party- it's the infected person in our own party, in both parties, screaming "war, war, war".

Give me a little while. Must go buy cigarettes and then will come back and hunt for that quote.
