For those of you who would find it difficult to criticize a man like Wesley Clark, remember, Benedict Arnold was a better soldier than he is.
To: kattracks
Very few worse candidates come to mind: clinton, sen clinton, b. boxer,,,,,well you get the picture.
To: kattracks
Noooooooooooooooooooooo!
On the other hand, W would beat him hands down!
To: kattracks
Clark and Waco...enough said. Hang the traitor!

Benedict Arnold was a better soldier and commander than a lot of patriotic American fighters. His fighting at Saratoga and Fort Stanwicks was heroic. Also after his failed assault on Quebec, Arnold stopped the British at the Battle of Valcour Isle, which saved American forces from a complete disaster.

I have a hard time respecting a General that is a long time friend of someone that has made a life of despising the military and everything it stands for.

I think it it pretty safe to say that Clark would be utterly bulldozed by Bush. He was one of the most hated symbols of the Clinton administration for the military, and people will be coming out of the woodwork to make his weaseling ways known.
To: kattracks
What with Bush throwing in his hat with the neo-cons and the nomination of Wesley Clark by the Dems, maybe Pat will reconsider and run again. LOL.
Thanks for the warning post. Regards.

Having tried and failed to find the next JFK or FDR, the Democrats are now trying to find the next Gen. George B. McClellan.

Wasn't he the one in charge when 3 of our soldiers were captured and bitch slapped around by the Serbs. From what I read the three soldiers were performing a training exercise near a combat zone. I still have a hard time believing that story.

But Wesley Clark was Bill Clinton's
'wag the dog' General! He can't be ALL bad, can he?
Oh wait, he was also in charge of the tanks that moved on all those women and children in Waco Texas!
I stand corrected.

President Wesley Clark
To: Steel Wolf
I think Clark would be a pretty strong candidate. He's pretty decorated (Silver Star, purple heart, etc.), was a Rhodes scholar, doesn't have a voting record, comes from the South, and was the NATO commander. Sure, he's not Eisenhower, but he could be a strong candidate. The only thing is that the left-wing fanatics who vote in the Democrat primaries prefer liberal ideologues like Kerry, Gephardt, or Edwards. Clark will probably be on the bottom of the ticket with Edwards.
To: Ajnin; kattracks
Do any of you remember when Clark was showing the films of the train we bombed in Belgrade? Clark maintained it was hit because it was going to fast to see it was a passenger train....yeah, after he speeded up the film!
Jim Inhofe had been a glowing star of congress until he made the "retirement" speech for Clark....I'll never figure that one out.

Clark is an empty a uniform as Edwards is an empty suit.

Another of his scholar buddies helped move him to the front of the line once he made the presidency, crowning a long career of spinning, fabricating, and fluffing his record.
After being forced to suffer under 8 years of Clinton, rest assured that a lot of old officers and Clark's other subordinates would rise up and give a good reality check on Bill's little pal. You've gotta love payback.
To: Steel Wolf
Clark is from Little Rock these days.
Haven't we had enough of being governed by a Rhodes Scholar from Little Rock? I have.
