CLARK IN NEW TV FIB: I NEVER SUPPORTED IRAQ WAR!!

Democratic presidential hopeful Gen. Wesley Clark insisted Wednesday morning that he's been against the Iraq war going all the way back to the 9/11 attacks - even though he told reporters just four months ago that he "probably" would have voted for the Oct. 2002 Iraq War resolution.
"I was consistently against this since from the time the guys from the Pentagon told me two weeks after 9/11 that we were attacking Iraq," Clark told ABC's "Good Morning America." "It didn't make any sense to me. I've been very, very consistent on this."
Not exactly.
It turns out that as recently as September, the vacillating general was all over the map when it came to questions about attacking Baghdad.
"At the time, I probably would have voted for it, but I think that's too simple a question," Clark told reporters on Sept. 18.
Later on in the same interview, the former NATO Commander shifted gears on the war vote.
"I don't know if I would have [backed the war] or not," he explained, before admitting, "I've said it both ways."
In the next breath Clark turned pro-war once again, telling the same reporters, "What happens is you have to put yourself in a position. On balance, I probably would have voted for it."
When pressed during the same session to make up his mind, Clark shouted out to his press secretary, Mary Jacoby - "Mary! Help!"
Private polling by the Clark and Dean campaigns showed Clark rapidly closing a 25-point gap in New Hampshire with the Democratic front-runner in just the last two weeks, the Associated Press said Wednesday.

This is becoming a comedy act. Did you see the Dean letter to Clinton supporting unilateral military action in Bosnia? Of course Kerry has a new story daily. Rove is gonna have so much ammo he may not get to use it all.

If they had lived [instead of being burnt alive in their infancy and childhood]
the many children at Waco would be in their teens and 20's.
Thus, through his tireless work as a Presidential candidate,
today, Democratic Candidate Wesley Clark would have brought a smile to each of them.
If she had lived, Mary Jo Kopechne would be 62 years old.
Through his tireless work as a legislator,
(Democrat) Edward Kennedy would have brought comfort to her in her old age.

How anyone, who has served in the U.S. military, can align himself with socialists is one of the strangest things I've seen walking the planet. We all took oaths to support/protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America. One would think a passing familiarity with the document pertains. In the case of Officers, one would expect an even deeper understanding (Ok, I admit to recently reading some Drake, Flint, Ringo, and Weber....and the Hornblower series). In any case, how is it that a military man can go so far against the principles of his oath and gravitate to the party most closely associated with American socialism?
I guess this falls under the "...it takes all kinds.." rubric.

Weasel Clark is consistently inconsistent. And he's consistent in his claims he's consistent when challenged on his inconsistencies.
I'm surprised the Deanies aren't vetting him on this - maybe it's to close to home. anyway, a scary thing about Clark is his glib, robotic denials of his inconsistencies. Dean, like most politicians, weaves and deflects. Clark has no change in emotion, no reticence to outright lie.
Maybe he's got a touch of sociopathy? Don't want to start any rumors...

I once saw a memo floating around some of the DC-based think tanks and NGOs about Clark being a sociopath, so the rumor must be true.

I have done some research and this is what I found.
WESLEY CLARK, PATHOLOGICAL LIAR, LEADS THE CHARGE OF DEMOCRAT TURNCOATS -- PAINTING IRAQ WHAT IT'S NOT...
What happens when a former General smells the GREEN proffered him by the Bill Clinton Political War Machine? Bill Clinton, backed by mob and by Saudi interests that own that mob, has been undermining this country, progressively, hiding it behind the Slick Willy phenomena, conning the minorities to vote for him. Clinton (and Clark after him) is someone who'd just as soon return the Blacks to slavery, the Jews to the Gas Chambers, yet is absorbed in his effort to profit by slick liaisons with the Chinese (Johnny Chung) and the Saudis (Osamma Bin Laden) and Puppet Master the next President into office past President Bush's wide margin at the electorate. Bill Clinton and Al Gore left us, as their legacy, 9/11. They stripped the Military, reduced Airport Security, and antagonized the Terrorists by shooting meaningless cruise missiles into the desert.
Now: Wesley Clark, WESLEY THE WEASEL, the man who'd as soon start World War III as Curtis Lemay, has become a fast paced, two-faced Clintacrat seeking his million bucks from the former president. Clintacrats are driven by greed, they are clearly not against the war on terror, they use it's necessity for the damage-value they can blame on their republican political opposition. And Clinton has enlisted Clark to help his private Rockefeller and ExxonMobil backers from West Virginia, bag all that Iraqi Oil, the second largest supply in the world. Bill Clinton can clearly smell moolah, and he wants to split the proceeds between and among the wealthy Rockefellers, Kennedy's and his Clinton Bank Accounts, carefully hidden in the Caymans and Switzerland. For Bill Clinton and Wesley Clark, it's all done in a days Carpet bagging from the depths of Clinton Arkansas and Clark's super-ego. This man is clearly Johnny Smith's worse nightmare - from the Dead Zone. He is the prince of mismanagement as much as Clinton was it's king.
Wes Clark has changed his colors so fast, one's head spins around as he agrees to behave like a Democrat pretending to be a General, to line his own pockets and expand his power. It all started as he altered News Coverage he was "technical consultant" to during the Gulf War coverage on the major networks. He deliberately responded with his own run for President in the back of his mind, and he deliberately breached the truth with his own colorful and off the mark interpretations, that culminated in his committing public fraud yesterday when he changed his mind in entirety and, for the sake of his Presidential Run, sold his stone cold soul to his holy anti-Christ Bill Clinton, by publicly condemning the War as a "major blunder". Demonstrating the kind of Cowardice that has plagued the Democratic Leadership in the Clintacrat Error of William Cohen and the Do-nothing Defense Department of Clinton's era, Wes Clark was even sent FOUR FEATHERS of COWARDICE by one Military Expert, who defined Clark as "the abomination of a former General who sold his four stars for four bank accounts from Clinton, Kennedy, Exxon and Rockefeller", Clark is clearly willing to say anything so long as the White House looms at the end of his lying spree, a ripe plum for his to take (he thinks).
Having sold his title, his uniform and his background to the Arkansas, Massachusetts and ultimately, the Standard Oil Mafia that backs Rockefeller, Clinton and Kennedy, Clark is willing to say or do ANYTHING to get into power so he can secure that Iraqi Oil NOT for the benefit of the Iraqis, but just like Saddam Hussein: STEAL IT FROM THE IRAQI'S AND REDIRECT IT INTO THE POCKETS OF THE ROCKEFELLERS who are holding the price of American Gasoline fraudulently high, just to extort and blackmail Americans to try and insure Clark is elected. The Rockefellers clearly think they know how to rig America and run nit as their own private FIEFDOM, and Bill Clinton has become their knew commanding "behind the scenes" General. The Rockefellers tried to steal Iraq's oil before the War by trading for it: by selling Uranium U-235 to Saddam just before the war, as admitted to by the Defense Minister of Iraq in statements made in the UAE: Saddam was continuing to import components to build nuclear weapons in order to stave off invasion.
However, when President Bush got wind of the perfidy of Rockefeller's FRENCH GHOST (Jacques Chirac) captaining this activity of illegal nuclear sales from France, Bush realized we'd be receiving that illicit nuclear material back in the form of bombs sent up the Hudson and Potomac on powerboats, set to go off during rush hour. So he quite bravely (against an orchestration of complaints) ordered the invasion of Iraq to put an end to the stupidity of the Rockefellers and France, who have only one thing in mind: get cheap Iraqi Oil, spend useless U-235 for it, without even the slightest regard for the millions of lives that would have been lost when Iraqi backed terrorists delivered Nuclear Bombs into America and England. After all: what's a few million Americans' being immolated in a millionth of a second by temperatures 1000 times hotter than the surface of the sun, when it's compared to cheap Iraqi Crude, eh Jay, David and Lawrence Rockefeller? When the ROYAL PAIN IN THE ASS Rockefeller Brothers and Holy Moley Nephew realized that their covert Uranium for Oil ploy didn't work (well if we didn't do it, the Russians or Chinese would, claimed David Rockefeller to me when I confronted him on the subject...), the Rockefellers have now formulated the "Wesley Clark Strategy": try and ramrod their newest "safe and sanitized" candidate (Weasely Clark, Wes the Weasel, aka Wesley Clark) into office past the Bush Administration, so they can STEAL the Oil now that Saddam is gone.
What can we do, to fight this evil institution of Hungarian Black Hand that practically run our country? Well: we can KICK THEIR ASSES OUT OF AMERICAN GOVERNMENT, that's what, we can track down every Rockefeller, Chase Manhatten, MobilExxon, Amoco, Chevron, Texaco, GE and other Rockefeller affiliated "goon squad" Politician in public office and give them all THE HEAVE HO, while doing the same with all the government employees who are on the same payroll. And, we can cease banking at any of the Rockefeller Banks (although that is going to be kind of difficult, as they control practically ALL the banks in America) and we can stop watching Rockefeller Entertainment (NBC, ABC, HBO, MTV, Time Warner, SNL, Showtime, CNN, MSNBC, GE... you name it...) but that's going to be a bit difficult too, because they control 75% of the Media and Entertainment (including the Newspapers and the Radios and TV Stations.) Any wonder you aren't being told the whole truth or even anything resembling the whole truth by the modern Press? They're SCARED SCHICKLESS by the looming spector of Rockefeller dominance of the Press Payroll, THAT'S WHY!! David Pearl was about the depth of individualism, for all it got him: murdered by General Parvez Musharraf for getting too close to the Musharraf to Bin Laden connection!
Pakistan has a Musharraf and the Taliban/Bin Laden problem. Iraq has a Saddam Hussein and the Baath Party Loyalists problem. Likewise, America has a David Rockefeller and the Clintacrat Loyalists / Mafia problem that is not that far different from the foregoing two countries, it just takes on a more "civilized looking" exterior.
I have been forced to conclude that we all must Boycott Wesley Clark and the Clintacrat Traitors. No matter WHAT our politics are, these Clintacrats are two faced, phonies who lie just to get our vote. And let's don't let him call himself "General" - he's dishonored that past position. And judging by his turncoat self-contradiction, and dishonest coverage of the war: he's nothing less than a scam artist, a mediocre, political grift-artist.
Boycott ALL those phony Clinton Democrats, that's what I have concluded. They just pretend to be liberals, but never deliver on a single promise. They play "popular attitudes" with the minds of American Voters - appealing to their beliefs, but living a double life. Or hasn't anyone noticed it just gets worse as they "wrong way Corrigan" American democrats and minorities, while appealing to the cheapest part of the political spectrum in order to get reelected: THEY'RE LIARS, AMERICA, DON'T BE FOOLED BY THEIR PHONY CIVIL RIGHTS OR THEIR PHONY CHAMPIONING OF THE UNDERDOG - THEY WOULDN'T HIRE A BLACK MAN OR WOMAN INTO THEIR OWN BUSINESSES IN A POSITION OF TRUE IMPORTANCE - THE LIBERAL CLINTACRATS THINK OF BLACK OFFICIALS AS "UPPITY N-WORDS" AND THEY PAY ONLY LIP SERVICE TO THE NOTION OF EQUALITY. NOR ARE CLINTACRATS RELIGIOUS NOR FAMILY MEN OR WOMEN EITHER. THEY DELIBERATELY UNDERMINE THE NOTION OF FAMILY VALUE BECAUSE IT SELLS MORE NARCOTICS, BOOZE, BAD ENTERTAINMENT, GANG MENTALITY - WHEN YOU DRIVE A WEDGE IN THE AMERICAN FAMILY, YOU UNLEASH IMMATURITY ON THE MARKETPLACE, WHICH SELLS MORE GAS, MORE BAD FOOD AND DRUGS, AND MORE LIFESTYLE THAT SUPPORTS THEIR BUSINESSES. TO THEM, IT'S ALL ABOUT DRUGS, BOOZE, PROSTITUTION, GAMBLING, HIGH PRICES FOR OIL, AND DOWN-TRODDING EVERYONE ELSE FOR THEIR OWN PROFIT BEHIND THE SCENES. They are the classic case of two faced politicians - dishonest, un-delivering, uncaring and yet, trained to project that cool, likable Slick Willy Bill Clinton exterior. It takes years to develop that kind of false image.
And it is that image that is what Ted Kennedy, Bill Clinton and Jay Rockefeller and their peers stand for. They're fundamental liars who put on a phony "goody liberal democrat" show. While they try and paint the picture of being good people by taking public positions that support the "proletariat", they are actually quite bad people who engage in betrayal of the public trust in dark, smoke filled rooms.
Don't be fooled again, they got us into the Terrorism of 9/11, the Clintacrats. Help the rest of us get us out of the Terrorism.
Boycott Clark and the Democrat Turncoats of the Clintacrat Kind. There is truth in reality. President Bush hired Condoleeza Rice and Colin Powell. President Clinton had Ron Brown assassinated, along with 30 other witnesses to his entanglements in ENRON, MCI, CHINA SATELLITE COMPANY, WHITEWATER COCAINE DEALS IN ARKANSAS and anything else that could have prevented his election to the country's highest office, including the murder of Vince Foster. Clinton employs wet workers (low life thugs, we see them all around the tri-state area, they wear White House jackets from their years with Clinton in DC, and they do his evil bidding in the same manner as the hard core mafia soldiers do it) who clean up his messes behind the scenes, round the clock, Clinton. Remember that America, before you go to the polls next year. Despite appearances, Bill Clinton is a murdering bastard who got us into 9/11 by undermining our defenses and futilely aiming meaningless attacks at terrorist nests to stir them up (he knew it would backlash on the next administration, btw), Bill Clinton, and General Clark is his two faced Monica Lewinsky Organ Grinder's Monkey Boy! Clinton made certain he was in Australia on 9/11, yes, that's right, he actually had quiet foreknowledge of the impending attack on the USA, and was making himself quite scarce, lest it really result in biological side products to his community in Harlem (where he spent millions on those buildings up there, with no explanation for where he got the money).
Don't be fooled by Wesley "the Weasel" Clark. He's NO General, not in America's Army. He's simply Pinocchio to Bill Clinton's and Jay Rockefeller's joint-ventured Jepetto...

SO, which one of Clark's multiple personalities were we actually watching this morning on ABC? He seems to have more than the number of squares in a waffle.

"I don't know if I would have [backed the war] or not," he explained, before admitting, "I've said it both ways." A quote edit worthy of Maureen Dowd. In fairness, he was referring to the resolution, which is not necessarily "backing the war." But he was all over the place on the issue of the resolution - just as Kerry and Edwards have been.
