Wesley Clark: Rhodes scholar, four-star general, NATO commander, time-travel fanatic?

During a whirlwind campaign swing Saturday through New Hampshire, Clark, the newest Democratic presidential candidate, gave supporters one of the first glimpses into his views on technology.

"We need a vision of how we're going to move humanity ahead, and then we need to harness science to do it," Clark told a group of about 50 people in Newcastle attending a house party -- a tradition in New Hampshire presidential politics that enables well-connected voters to get an up-close look at candidates.

Then, the 58-year-old Arkansas native, who retired from the military three years ago, dropped something of a bombshell on the gathering.

"I still believe in e=mc², but I can't believe that in all of human history, we'll never ever be able to go beyond the speed of light to reach where we want to go," said Clark. "I happen to believe that mankind can do it."

"I've argued with physicists about it, I've argued with best friends about it. I just have to believe it. It's my only faith-based initiative." Clark's comment prompted laughter and applause from the gathering.

Gary Melnick, a senior astrophysicist at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, said Clark's faith in the possibility of time travel was "probably based more on his imagination than on physics."

This guy is a loon

He's just wishing he could travel back in time to eliminate his embarrassing past statements of support for George Bush.

As this will obviously be one of the main issues in the election, I demand that the other Dem candidates divulge their positions on time travel.

I think Wired is covered by the Conde Nast(y) restriction. Excerpting is appropriate.

Oh good grief

Clark has better legs then Hellary

"Let's do the Time Warp again!"

I think they are all of the same opinion. Namely, that Al Sharpton should be the first to try it out.

Not that I've seen. (I could be mistaken though)

So could I, that's why I pinged the Mod Squad...

[N. Theknow]

If time travel was possible AlGore would have invented it.

As Jim Trafficant, would say

Beam Me up!

I knew it. He's after my Mojo!

He will and he did...right after winning the presidency in 2000.

I have had some success in time travel.

My Timex accompanies me faithfully whereever I go.
