IMHO, Clark is an arse, he is saying what he thinks people want to hear, but in the end, he is a has been screaming "I am better, and I woulda done it better!"

Lost total respect for that man after these last staetments.

Heh.. You guys trying out your spin just incase your guys can’t engineer a Dean nomination?

In a blistering critique of the commander in chief, Clark said that "capturing Saddam Hussein doesn't change the fact that Osama bin Laden is still on the loose."

"If I'd been president, I would have had Osama bin Laden by this time," Clark said at a news conference in Concord, New Hampshire,

I bet he would have.

Quote

"Instead, he executed a bait-and-switch. He took the priority off Osama bin Laden. He shifted the spotlight onto Saddam Hussein."

Indeed.. looks like President Bush mis-stated the truth about finding WMD somewhat..

Quote

The retired Army four-star general also said that if Bush questions the patriotism and national security credentials of Democrats in the coming campaign, he would not hesitate to match his record against the president's.
"I'll put my 34 years of defending the United States of America, and the results that I and my teammates in the United States armed forces achieved, against his three years of failed policies any day," said Clark, who was NATO supreme commander during the 1999 air campaign in Kosovo.

Heh-heh-heh.. Rock n’ Roll!.. Oh yeah!

Quote

As president, Clark said he also would "insist that Saudi Arabia take responsibility" and provide resources and intelligence to help the United States get bin Laden, including creating a joint U.S.-Saudi commando unit to root out terrorists.
He said the United States should put "intense political pressure" on Pakistan to find bin Laden and move "substantial" U.S. special operations forces and intelligence personnel from Iraq into Afghanistan.
To free up those assets, Clark said the United States should end its "fruitless" hunt for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and turn the task over to the international community.
"I could never understand why we insisted on doing this anyway, when the international community was fully willing to participate and do it," he said.

I take it you folks on the right don’t want to see a Bush/Clark run?

Clark is not a competent political strategist, and will continue to throw around bull as long as the press listens, but then again 10bears, I can cut and paste and make him seem reasonable too.

Clark won't stand a chance against Bush and neither will Dean. Lieberman is the only dem that has a shot but I don't think his party is smart enough to recognize that. Only my opinion of course.

Eh, I would vote the Bug or General Douglas MacArthur

The biggest problem the democrats face is that they would need to adopt a bush platform to compete effectively against bush.

It certainly worked for Clinton against Dole.

IMHO Clark will not survive the democrats nomination. Bush vs. Clark in open run, that would be something, Bush will annihilate him if it comes to that.

Looks like Dean and Clark are basically neck and neck on that site Thrawn.

MrLars · « **Reply #11 on:** December 18, 2003, 10:13:05 AM »

LOL...the right is afraid of the outcome of a Clark/Bush debate.

There would be no contest....Clark would make GWB look like a rank amature, a dangerous one at that, in regards to foreign policy and the use of the military in carring out that policy. Domestic econoimic issues is another area where GWB has no chance since he relies on his handlers too much for the right things to say rather than his knowledge of the issues.

Notice how Stormin' Norman has backed off his agreement with Shelton regarding the 'issues' he had with Clark. Seems that Slobodan Milosevic decided to use Sheltons quote in his defence? I guess Norman didn't want to be linked to him so he backed off....there's some integrity and conviction for ya!

Clarks not going away no matter how muddy the attacks get during this race....the rights only hope to keep him from getting nominated is to prop up ont of the other canidates.....some freepers have vowed to vote for Sharpton to help that cause...pathetic.

What's this? The Republicans are going to make sure Clark isn't the Democratic nominee? So the Republicans actually control the Democratic nominating process?

Looks like Dean at this stage to me; and I think they'll lose if they pick him. Clark would be the better choice, IMO, but I don't think they can bring themselves to nominate a General.

Clark is a Kook

anyone really want that nutbag running the show or is ANYONE better than Bush in your eyes?

Dnil · « **Reply #14 on:** December 18, 2003, 10:27:19 AM »

any of them are better then Dean. I will look at all choices except Dean.

Middle of the road wins it now days, too far left or right and kiss the votes good bye.
