Frankfort (AP) -- Former NATO commander and Democratic presidential candidate Wesley Clark blasted President Bush on Sunday, saying he has been "derelict in his duty as commander in chief."
Clark, speaking at the Kentucky Democratic Party's second annual "family day" event in Frankfort, Bush ignored a warning from former President Bill Clinton about Osama bin Laden.
"For eight months, Bush did nothing - nothing. No plan. No action. No diplomacy. No intelligence. No meetings," said Clark, who is scheduled to make campaign stops Monday in Campbellsville, Hopkinsville, Paducah, Owensboro and Brandenburg.
Clark also criticized Bush's handling of Iraq and accused him of blocking attempts to hold people accountable for mistakes made there.
"The truth is, the Republicans have got us stuck in a mess and they don't have a way out," said Clark, who sought the Democratic nomination for president in 2004.
Democrats want to turn the country over to Iraqis, start withdrawing troops this year, provide better equipment and armor for the remaining soldiers and use stronger diplomatic efforts in the region, Clark said.

Ashley Wilkes strikes again. In other news, sonic booms scare Democratic interviewees at Fox News.
Laughs at all times, just look 'em up.
Blast from Weaselly Clark's past:
British Gen. Michael Jackson as rightly refusing Clark’s order to attack Russian troops moving on the Pristina airport in Kosovo. At the time, Clark was Supreme NATO Commander and Jackson leader of all ground forces in the region.
“I won’t start World War III for you, sir,” snorted the tough British commander. When word of Clark’s instability reached Washington, even Secretary of Defense Bill Cohen, managed to have the “moxie” to call Clark home early and “retire” him from the Army.
Ashley Wilkes, the man's man.
I see the Democrap talking points fax machines are still functional.
Somebody help me out here - is Clark referring to "the country" as the US, or Iraq?
Izzy good question, with Democrats you can never be sure.
The most amazing part of Clark's repeated defense of Clinton is that Clinton screwed him several times, most memorably by making him return from his NATO command before his time was up. I just don't get it.
I'm sorry, but all I can say here is "Cluck Fark".
Geo. Washington would have had that cretin dispatched behind a barn.
This guy p*sses me off..
Correct me if I am mistaken, but isn't this the guy who Clinton fired because he wanted to attack the Russians during the Bosnian invasion?
"During extended remarks delivered at the Pulaski County GOP Lincoln Day Dinner in Little Rock, Arkansas on May 11, 2001, General Clark declared: 'And I'm very glad we've got the great team in office, men like Colin Powell, Don Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney, Condoleezza Rice... people I know very well - our president George W. Bush. We need them there.'"
Clark praises United States President George [H. W.] Bush with these words:
"President George Bush had the courage and the vision... and we will always be grateful to President George Bush for that tremendous leadership and statesmanship."
no need to correct...you are
Wesley who??
Sonic Booms scare Democrats..ha...
General Whore speaks.

I see Whore Clark is auditioning to be Hillary's running mate.
Maybe if Algore hadn't taken the 2000 elections up to the Supreme Court, the White House hadn't been trashed, China hadn't crashed a fighter into our spyplane and held it/crew for days, and Gary Condit didn't have a fling with an intern (familiar pattern), the country might have been more focused on OBL.
