Democratic Presidential hopefuls Wesley Clark and Joe Lieberman each announced this weekend that they would not compete in the January 19th Iowa Caucuses. Instead, each plans to focus on other early contest primary states. "We have made the decision that we don't have the time or the money to compete there," said Clark's spokesperson. Clark believes that Howard Dean and Dick Gephardt are too well organized for Clark to be competitive against them in the state. "After much consultation, we decided to focus our resources on where they will prove most effective," said Lieberman's campaign manager. Lieberman is opening four...

Clark Urges ABC to Fire Rush Limbaugh By RON FOURNIER The Associated Press Wednesday, October 1, 2003; 4:04 PM WASHINGTON - Democratic presidential candidate Wesley Clark on Wednesday urged ABC to fire conservative commentator Rush Limbaugh for saying the media wanted Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb to succeed because he is black.

Before McNabb led the Eagles to a 23-13 victory over the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, Limbaugh said on ESPN's pre-game show that he didn't think McNabb was as good as...

RAPIST SHOWING LEG: An Extension of the clinton Complex-Question Fallacy Scheme   by Mia T, 9-19-03   The missus clinton-Wesley Clark spectacle, in any permutation or combination, is as much about delusions of grandeur (with sabotage the fallback position) as about anything else.

<p>September 20, 2003 -- In a disastrous debut, Gen. Wesley Clark yesterday flip-flopped back and forth on the Iraq war - wobbling over the issue that was supposed to be the strongest suit for the latest 2004 Democratic wannabe.</p> <p>A day after Clark raised eyebrows by saying he'd "probably" have voted for the war if he'd been in Congress, the rookie campaigner did a complete about-face and insisted he would "never" have done any such thing.</p>

WASHINGTON—A Montreal man has emerged as the key figure in a controversy that has dogged Democratic presidential aspirant Wesley Clark during the summer months. Questions have swirled since June when the former NATO commander alleged on national television that he was pressured to link the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein in a mystery phone call he received. Clark first implied the call, not long after the attacks, might have come from White House, then later said it came from a Middle Eastern think tank in Canada. He has never identified the caller. As Clark kicked...
