I don't think the facts in this article are really going to hurt Clark that much. Wishful thinking on our part.

Read the article carefully regarding the questionnaire given to Marines. It does not say that Clark was involved in that. The article just blames generally the Clinton Administration. Clark was not Commandant of the Marine Corps, nor was he CJCS. If he can be linked to that questionnaire somehow, fine. But I don't see any evidence of that.

As for starting WWIII....isn't it us Republicans who usually talk about the need to be tough? And do we really want to be relying on statements made by Euroweenie diplomats? I mean, aren't we the ones who say the Euros lack cojones? Seems to me that Clark has an easy out: " I had no intention of starting WWIII. Sometimes, you've gotta play poker, and our side folded too early.

And then, we're going to go after him for being "soft" on Iraq? That's going to seem inconsistent with portraying him as a hot-tempered war monger from Kosovo. And do we really think its a "minus" if he was removed from office by Clinton?????

This guy scares me, because I think we're being overly optimistic over how this stuff will play, and minimizing the ability of his campaign to spin it. I'm hoping he has some personality traits or other opinions that are going to hurt his campaign, because this other stuff doesn't impress me as being very useful ammo.

To me that makes him in on it as I am sure he had knowledge. He has been Klinton's butt boy since 1993. They had to have had conversations about this. This guy did not get 4-stars on merit. The higher ups in the Pentagon said he did not deserve it. He got it by kissing Klinton's fat @$$.
