Okay…
…Is it me, or is this your basic nonstory? We have some five different parties saying that Wesley Clark was not involved in any signifigant way with the Waco debacle and two separate investigations supporting this. So why are the words “Clark” and “Waco” now linked on Yahoo! news, when the story itself effectively proves there is no such link?
Call me paranoid, call my eyes blurred because I think Clark might be the one to beat Bush. But every time something “bad” about him is leaked–especially something as insubstatial as this appears to be–I’m inclined to suspect one of two groups:
The Bush Republicans who are scared I’m right about that Bush-beating thing, and
Kucinich-watchers who think he has a snowball’s chance in hell and who don’t like Clark because he’s not “Democratic” enough for them. And who have a knee-jerk distrust for and resentment of the military.
For Heaven’s sake, Wesley Clark was not responsible for Waco–Janet Reno was.

I’ll agree with all of this except the Kucinich segment. Being a “Kucinich-watcher,” I really haven’t seen much negativity toward the General and his campaign from within the Kucinich camp.

From within the camp no, maybe not. But I was thinking of those outside the camp, someone like this guy: http://www.thenation.com/doc.mhtml?i=20031215&s=taibbi
