From that link: General Shelton, Clark's aides are quick to note, is now listed as an unpaid adviser to the John Edwards campaign.

and this: As an ambitious officer, Clark gained a reputation among his peers for telling different people what they wanted to hear, without seeming to realize that his listeners might later compare notes and accuse Clark of being two-faced.

IOW, Clark LIES!! Clark's been taking notes from Kerry it seems, because this is a well-documented tactic of Kerry's too.

Pinging for reference.

Get a load of this, prairiebreeze.

On George Stephanapolous's show today, George asked Clark why he originally was support of "the Iraq resolution which called for regime change but is now opposed to it."

Clark responded: "It depends on the meaning of the word 'the'"!!!!!

We need a transcript of that show ASAP because someone will be expunding the records, so to speak.

It was damning. Just those little words. I do believe Americans have had enough of politicians questioning the meaning of 3 letter words.

They would give Clark explicit instructions on, for instance, the scale of the bombing campaign. "Clark would say, 'Uh-huh, gotcha," says Newsweek's source. But then he would pick up the phone and call [British Prime Minister] Tony Blair and [Secretary of State] Madeleine [Albright]." As Clark knew full well, Blair and Albright were more hawkish than Shelton and Cohen. After talking to the State Department and NATO allies, Clark would have a different set of marching orders, says the source, who has spoken about the matter with both Cohen and Clark. "Then, about 1 o'clock, the Defense Department would hear what Clark was up to, and Cohen and Shelton would be furious."

So basically Clark refused a direct order from his Commanding officer???
