Wesley Clark made some inaccurate statements about the application of the &#8220;surge&#8221; in Anbar province. &#8220;Actually, the surge was about Baghdad and it was not about Anbar province,&#8221; he said. &#8220;They didn&#8217;t bring more troops out to Anbar.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Perhaps this pathetic loser forgot or is so stupid that he didn\u2019t know that the better part of a Brigade of Marines were part of the \u201cSurge\u201d and did in fact go to Anbar?<\/p>\n<p>But this was about more than numbers of troops in Baghdad or Anbar; it was about how they were to be employed.<\/p>\n<p>You have to realize that Wesley was an Armor Officer.  Counter-Insurgency is not a strong suit with Armor officers from the Cold War massive maneuver era.  In those days COIN was almost exclusively in the realm of Special Operations forces (of which Wesley never served a day and would have no earthly idea what they did or do).<\/p>\n<p>This has changed thanks to General Patreaus.  A brand new Armor Captain today with all of 5 years experience knows volumes more than Wes Clark about counter-insurgency warfare.  <\/p>\n<p>Maybe Wesley should check with one; naturally that does not include \u201cMotor Pool\u201d Larry or whatever his name is from VoteVets.org.  That clown knows nothing about any kind of war.<\/p>\n<p>Wesley Clark would be the greatest gift ever to John McCain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Weekly Standard takes a brief but devastating shot at the latest lunacy from Wesley \u201cI &hellip; <a title=\"Please Pick this Clown for Veep\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=2125\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Please Pick this Clown for Veep<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":64,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2125","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-politics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2125","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/64"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2125"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2125\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2125"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2125"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2125"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
