“If you don’t think John McCain is just as dangerous in the White House as George W. Bush, think again.”
That’s how retired four-star General Wesley Clark begins a fundraising e-mail sent on behalf of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.
Clark, who sought the Democratic presidential nomination in the 2004 race, writes in his e-mail:
“McCain will not reverse the foreign policy mistakes of George Bush. He is content to leave us in Iraq, saying it’d be ‘fine by me’ if we were in Iraq for another 100 years. He is rash on using military force with Iran. He overplays the military card and doesn’t seem to appreciate that the real strength of the nation lies in our economy and in our values.”
In seeking contributions to the DSCC for this year’s Senate campaign, Clark says: “We have to be sure we have a Congress that will support a Democratic president but also one that, in the event of a John McCain presidency, has enough horsepower to ensure he can’t continue the policies of George W.

“But paying for the World’s defense has made us the master of the globe, and we can well afford it as long as our vibrant capitalist market doesn’t become as moribund as Europe.”
Seen the stock market lately?
What were gas prices like in say...spring of ‘99?
What are you going to do with your “rebate” check?
Our economy is not “vibrant” as you describe it. It could regain past heights but the givernment is going to need to cut spending across the board in order to make that happen.
That is pretty much what I thought you might say.
Thank you.
You have no idea what you're talking about. That particularly base has a whole lot to do with OUR defense.
“That particularly base has a whole lot to do with OUR defense.”
Our defense from......?
If you knew what you were talking about, you’d know.
Move on. Nothing to trade with you.
So...you have no answer. Figured as much.
You figure?
I thought you demonstrated quite a different talent.
Move on, know nothing.
Wesley Clark — the general who supplied the armor and artillery for the massacre at Waco.
This from the Butcher of Waco !
It might have been politically impossible. The President simply doesn't have enough authority to countermand the media's orders on certain subjects.
Bill clinton’s pet general speaks. Screw you, weasely.
In view of the pic at post# 8, "cologned queen" might be more apt.
(Actually, I recall that the "perfumed prince" moniker was hoiw he was referred to by his military staff.)
Is that why we’re in Guantanamo Bay and Diego Garcia? To defend Cuba and a rock in the ocean? Please. The interest in our bases is mutual (except, of course, for Cuba).
