"I am the oldest son, of the oldest son, of the oldest son ââ¬â at least five generations, and they were all rabbis."

Apparently Clark, 58, revels in his Jewish roots.
He told The Jewish Week in New York, which first reported the yeshiva comment in 1999, that his ancestors were not just Jews, but members of the priestly caste of Kohens.
Clarkôs Jewish father, Benjamin Kanne, died when he was 4, but he has kept in touch with his fatherôs family since his 20s, when he rediscovered his Jewish roots. He is close to a first cousin, Barry Kanne, who heads a pager company in Georgia.
. . .
Two of Clarkôs top advisers are Jews who had prominent roles in the Clinton and Gore campaigns. Eli Segal was a top adviser to President Clinton in his first term; Ron Klain helped run Vice President Al Goreôs 2000 campaign.

Quote, "From Waco to Yugoslavia: The US military was at Waco
General Wesley Clark was involved in the siege and final assault near Waco, Texas that killed, by a combination of toxic gas and fire, at least 82 people including some three dozen women, children and infants. As outlandish as this claim may seem, it's a reasonable conclusion that can be drawn by any fair minded person who takes the time to examine the evidence. Further, there is substantial circumstantial evidence that, Clark, in addition to acting as a tactical consultant, may, in fact, have been the prime architect and commander of the entire operation.
If this is true, why is it important? First, it represents a clear violation of US law. The military is banned from involvement in the enforcement of US civil law except under certain carefully defined circumstances. The incident at Waco did not come even close to legally qualifying. Second, it casts light on some of the more outrageous tactics used in the war against Yugoslavia, in particular the bombing attacks on Yugoslavian news media, essential life support services, and on civilians, the latter which were sometimes, but not always, described as "accidents." Third, President Clinton began the year with the statement that he is considering a Pentagon proposal to create a new US military command, commander-in-chief for the defense of the continental U.S., a first in peace time and an alarming move for reasons described in "Bombing 'suspended' - and now, the future"

Republicans for Clark: [url]http://www.draftwesleyclark.com/gop.html[/url]
Headed by a New York lawyer named Josh Margulies. Tribe trumps ideology every time, doesn't it? I was wondering why all the so-called "Conservative" Jews on FR were supporting pro-abortion, pro-gun control, pro-immigration Arnie, and then I saw this: [url]http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/997935/posts[/url]
Conservatives my ass. What matters, first, last, and always, is, "Is it good for Jews?"
