You are correct I think! Read this:

Clinton's Generalissimo

DEMOCRAT VICE GENERAL
Ret. General Wesley Clark had his political coming out party on NBC's "Meet the Press" on Sunday, slamming the Bush Administration's Iraq and war on terrorism, and essentially taking the side of NATO allies who are balking at joining the coalition to take down Saddam Hussein and his totalitarian regime.

Clark is mulling a run for president at the urging of the Arkansas Democratic Party, which has been pushing him to travel to Iowa and New Hampshire for months. Clark is expected in New Hampshire within the week to meet with Democratic Party faithful.

After watching Clark on TV on Sunday, DNC chairman Terry McAuliffe was said by associates to be calling all over Washington and elsewhere touting Clark as a sure-fire winner for Democrats. "He's going to be our Colin Powell," says a gushing DNC staffer. "He's our Schwartzkopf. What voter wouldn't listen to him and then feel more comfortable voting for a Democrat over Bush and his team? This guy solves all the problems about doubts we can handle national security issues." (ohmygosh....what is he smokin???)

Party people doubt Clark can successfully run for president, but already there is DNC spinning that Clark is almost assuredly a natural "short list" leader for Vice President and will be talked up constantly for a high profile role in any Democratic White House.

Even with snow tumbling down in Washington on Sunday morning, campaign advisers for Sen. John Kerry and Rep. Dick Gephardt were looking for ways to get Clark speaking about the security issues and failings of the Bush team under their banners. But Clark most likely won't allow himself to be used as a pawn.

He's already spoken extensively to former President Clinton about how to play the political game, and he didn't get to his position in the military without knowing how to play that game well, already.

Rather, Clark will most likely begin appearing in Washington and elsewhere at the behest of the Democratic leadership in the House and Senate and on behalf of the DNC at appropriate events where his expertise seems a natural fit.

"We have to use him carefully," says the DNC source. "We don't want him to appear too politically ambitious, too political. If he sticks his neck out too far, the American people might view him as simply another politician. We can't afford that if we want him to help us in 2004."

I emailed CNN today requesting they stop having him on as an impartial commentator given this news today.

The scoop is that he gave $1000.00 to Bowles. Nobody has reported it. In light of Clark saying he didnt know if he was a Democrat or a Republican it seems important in gauging whether or not he is telling the truth.

The Trial balloon

I got this idea for a giant balloon to help the Democrats next year.

Plus it would really piss off Jesse Jackson

My prediction: GW Bush will, once he has some free time, single-handedly revive and reform the Democratic Party in order to keep the two-party system alive.

I saw him this morning and got the impression that yes he will run for President

He seemed very cocky and Tim just let him ramble on an on

If I recall .. didn't he want to bomb the Russians when they took control of the airport after the he bombed the daylights out of Kosovo

I remember years ago, I asked my one brother that was in the marines at the time, what he though of Clark .. He didn't want to comment and only said "he is from Arkansas and to use my head"

Didn't take me long to get an idea of what he was talking about

Good catch and good take on what may well to be the shortest 15 more minutes of fame in politics.

Operation Enduring Freedom - Are We Alone? - Who's With Us (29/4) / Against Us? (14/1)
Research on the Forum / Made Possible by Those Who Posted Full Articles | 02/13/2003 | DoughtyOne

Posted on 02/13/2003 5:31 AM PST by DoughtyOne


This tribute to our allies and list of our detractors was conceived by Goodnesswins.

All too often we hear that the United States is going it alone on Operation Enduring Freedom.
What is the real truth?  It's not too hard to check.  Right here on the forum are plenty of articles
that provide more than enough proof to show who is with us, and who is against us.

Here is a LINK to our allies.  Here is a LINK to our detractors.

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

Make no mistake - - it isn't "the Liberals" who are throwing this crap against the wall.... it is the Clintons themselves. I firmly believe that the plan is to so muddy the Democrat primary that no single rat will go into the convention with anything resembling a mandate or a consensus. The Clintons want turmoil, confusion, and division.

And who do you suppose will be drafted to ride to the rescue?

The guy's basically a war criminal. There's not a single thing about the Kosovo operation you could point to which was decent, moral, or legal and, near as I can tell, the major reason for it was to take a credible allegation of rape against Slick Clinton off the front pages of our newspapers. For that they bombed a totally innocent Christian nation into the stone age for 70 days including Easter sunday for the nominal benefit of a bunch of muslim narco-terrorists.

Wesley Clark.

I can't figure out who he resembles the most: Wesley Mouch or John McClellan.
