Myth Index - Setting the Record Straight
MYTH 10:
For the radical right, there is no bigger boogie man than Bill Clinton. We provide some perspective on President Clinton's relationship with General Clark. Read More>
MYTH 9:
Some folks seem to think Clark's meeting with Ratko Mladic was a bad thing. We provide a little military history. Read More>
MYTH 8:
Accusing General Clark of being involved with the seige at Waco, Texas is a sure fire way to stir up partisan political passions. Closely examining the facts is a sure way to douse them. Read More>
MYTH 7:
Calling General Clark a "war criminal" should be beyond the pale. But if Counterpunch is going to print baseless charges, we take a moment to refute them. Read More>
MYTH 6:
David Hackworth, a former Colonel, once called General Clark "a perfumed prince who never got his boots dirty." That was before he sat down and talked with him. Read More>
MYTH 5:
Shortly after Howard Dean asked General Clark to be his running mate, Mr. Dean said Wesley Clark was a "Republican." The facts tell a different tale. Read More>
MYTH 4:
Katrina vanden Heuvel said Wesley Clark advocated a dangerous assault on Russian forces who unilaterally occupied the Pristina Airfield just after the conclusion of the Kosovo conflict. Unfortunately, she is missing the context and gets the timeline of the incident wrong. Eric Tam sets the record straight. Read More>
MYTH 3:
A pack of beltway reporters announced that General Clark had "flip-flopped" on the resolution authorizing the use of force in Iraq. Digby sets the record straight. Read More>
MYTH 2:
When Wesley Clark corrected Myth number 1, the mendacious punditocracy knew what to do. Think up a new lie. Republican political operatives posing as editorial writers would have you believe there is no such thing as a Middle Eastern think tank in Canada. Bob Somersby at the Daily Howler sets the record straight. Read More>
MYTH 1:
Contrary to what you have may have read in small circulation magazines subsidized by right wing ideologues and the mainstream media scribes who plagiarize them, General Clark never claimed to have received a call from the White House asking him to link September 11 to Iraq. But there is no real doubt that the White House was hard at work trying to establish just such a connection within hours of the attacks. Read More>
