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.

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 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.

" remember, Benedict Arnold was a better soldier than he is."

FYI- A&E is premiering "Benedict Arnold,A Question of Honor", a made for tv movie, on Monday. Don't know how good it will be, but I thought A&E's, "the Crossing", about Washington crossing the Delaware, was very well done.
