Hey all.
This weekend we got to see the absolute desperation within Liberal ranks to find a credible voice of opposition with the roll out of Retired [wonder why] General Wesley Clark The former NATO Commander of the Euroweenie/Clinton war in Bosnia. Of course the humble [implied] General is unsure as to what his personal ideology is [ala Colin Powell] even though last November he gave $1,000.00 to Democratic Erskin Bowles as he ran for office against Liddy Dole in North Carolina [per opensecrets.org] and of course he really hasn’t come to a decision as to whether or not he wants to run for the Nation's Highest Office.
I think the humble General knows exactly what party he supports and only desires to run for office if something goes wrong in Iraq. This drip’s appearance on Meet the Press comes off like a trial balloon meant to gauge American support for a retired Army commander’s opposition to GW.
The former Clinton Administration appointed commander [who just happens to be from Arkansas] is being put out there as a legitimate Militarily experienced [credible] voice of reasonable and experienced opposition to GW and his foreign policy approach towards NATO, Europe and the Middle East. His appearance is nothing more than a feeler for support of his underlying Clintonite dogma. The Liberals are attempting to see if they can slip him in under the America populations "anti-anything related to Clinton" radar in a desperate bid to find anyone who’ll resonate with the people prior to invasion of Iraq and as a fallback if things go bumpy militarily.
My prediction: After a successful conquest of Iraq, the humble General will simply fade away.
Where did you get that from? Clark was shot four times in Vietnam and has a silver star; Kerry has a silver star and a couple of purple hearts.
Kerry got his purple heart as so many did by being injured in a "combat zone" (he stepped on a broken beer bottle.)
Again, where did you get that from?
The nice thing about the Sharpton baloon is that it generates its own hot air and can't be punctured by facts.
