Who says they want Clark? All we know for certain is that Hillary encouraged Clark to run, but she made it clear that she would not endorse him unless he was selected as the primary candidate. The idea that the Clintons are backing Clark has absolutely no substantiation, except for the initial encouragement. And while I would be willing to believe that the Clintons put Clark in there as a puppet candidate, Hillary may have other ideas. She might be trying to divide the Democratic Party so that she can step up to save it or else weaken it enough to ensure an '04 loss.
Bottom line, we don't know what the Clintons are after, but given their death grip on the Democratic Party, I could believe that they have orchestrated its downfall this year from the get-go.
Sure, except for the fact that Wesley Clark was basically put into the race by the Clintons. The whole Clinton staff operation is now effectively working for Clark. Of course Hillary wants a divided party. They didn't put Clark in for him to win, they did it so Dean would lose. Dean's the only one who has voiced an agenda to revamp the DNC, which is where their roaches live.
