The Democrats have a golden opportunity but a field of candidates that make Gore look dynamic.

That is what I've been waiting to hear from a dem candidate. Tell me what you are going to do about terrorism and how you are going to be different from this president. Don't just tell me he sucks, I can form my own opinion about that.

As for whether or not Clarke would have gotten Osama by now, who knows. But if we had the deployment in Afganistan/Pakistan that we have in Iraq, we might be reading headlines about Osama being bagged this past week instead of Saddam. Certainly the likelyhood that he would have been caught by now would be increased had we been focusing our military/intelligence resources on him as opposed to Iraq/Saddam.

I'd consider Clark if he hadn't been such a dishonest politician and Clinton suckup while serving in the military. Dean is laughable. I'd definitely consider Lieberman. You democrats need to realize that in order to win this election you've got to sway some republicans, you've already got all the dem votes.

This statement baffles me.

A general is expected to support the President of the United States. It's not optional.

The assumption that Bushes international diplomacy is a weakness that can be exploited is a dangerous one. I think it is percieved as strength by many americans. Clark likes to harp on concensus building internationaly as his big strength, but Bush portrays his unilateral actions as American strength. One of them must be wrong..I think its a risky tact for Clark.

Begging for a promotion isn't expected and frowned upon by those of us with a modicum of pride.

Dean is going to win the nomination, the left may as well prepare for that. There is nothing the right can or will do to change it. In fact, about the only thing that can stop Dean now is Hillary.

No matter, no Dem has a chance to beat Bush at this juncture. It's Bush's race to lose.

There would be no contest....Clark would make GWB look like a rank amature

I would have agreed with you two years ago. I sense today that Bush has transitioned very comfortably into the role of CIC and would be commanding of anyone in a political race, even le' General. How he (Bush) performs in a spitited debate is where he will probably disperse all but the most ignorant Bush haters.

Im looking forward to debates.

Yes, everyone said Gore would shred Bush in the debates. This was in fact the place where the tide turned against Gore.

Clark is a deer in the headlights when asked direct questions. Take him off the script and he is lost. Bush may be too, but that's what people expect to see. Clark is selling himself as smarter, something he sure doesn't appear to be.

"Clark is a deer in the headlights when asked direct questions."

The same can be said for bush...

I dont usually get into debates like this but I thank GOD every day that Clark is no longer in the military....I (my opinion only) hope that he NEVER gains a political office. God help us.

10bears not at all....but having and still serve over in that area of the world the things that Clark did well....lets just say the guys that had few choice comments about Clark were correct. And after spending countless hours getting shot at from the POS's on the ground...lets just say I have a bit of insight on the whole issue that others might not.....
