Couple things he didn't do; use the state troopers to pick up sex or run for reelection in the middle of his term.

Clark's a very intelligent guy. Beyond that, I think he's got some character and integrity which would make him pretty unique on the US political scene. Don't get me wrong, you don't get four stars without being an able politician with all that that entails. I just doubt  that he could ever bring himself to look straight into the camera  and parse the word "is". I don't think his internal moral compass would let him. Some of that "Duty, Honor, Country" stuff becomes just too engrained.

However, the odds of him getting the Democratic nomination are less than remote. VP, maybe.. to cover the Dem's inevitable ticket weakness on military matters.

But trust the DNC to put somebody unelectable out front to placate the lunatic fringe elements of the party that have convinced themselves they are "mainstream America".

Wouldn't suprise me if I end up voting Libertarian this time around. Hey... maybe Clark will go Libertarian!  ;)

Several members of the team that helped take Clinton from governor of Arkansas to president in 1992 were in Little Rock and had been talking with Clark.

Yeah, Cod forbid he puts together a winning team to help him get elected....the Bu****es are frightened I see.

Just which ones would that be Grun? Seems that that broom isn't a very good paint brush, Vets are getting behind Clark not only because of this quote:

We've got to understand that in American foreign policy, force is the last resort,” he told the audience. “Yes, you may have to use it. You may even have to use it preemptively. But the use of force is not the guiding principle of American foreign policy. Military might is not the guiding foreign policy principle.”

...but since his being a combat veteran he's less likely to commit our forces unless it's truly a last resort...no cowboy antics from this straight shooter!

Wesley Clark fundraised for Republicans in 2001, for Pulaski County Republican Party (Little Rock)... December 2001: Clark registers to vote in Little Rock as independent. Now he's a democrat? Hmmmm....

Was watching fox today at lunch and they had another general on who is a friend of Clark's for 20 years.  She asked him,  " why was the general fired after the war in Kosovo?"   He didn't answer, just tried to spin around it,  no follow up questioning though :(


 Why was he fired?

hmm

wasn't to straight when he dribbled this out:

Meet the Press - 6/15/2003

MR. RUSSERT: Hyped by whom?

GEN. CLARK: Well, I...

MR. RUSSERT: The CIA, or the president or vice president? Secretary of
Defense, who?

GEN. CLARK: I think it was an effort to convince the American people to do
something, and I think there was an immediate determination right after
9/11 that Saddam Hussein was one of the keys to winning the war on terror.
Whether it was the need just to strike out or whether he was a linchpin in
this, there was a concerted effort during the fall of 2001 starting
immediately after 9/11 to pin 9/11 and the terrorism problem on Saddam
Hussein.

MR. RUSSERT: By who? Who did that?

GEN. CLARK: Well, it came from the White House, it came from people around
the White House. It came from all over. I got a call on 9/11. I was on
CNN, and I got a call at my home saying, "You got to say this is
connected. This is state-sponsored terrorism. This has to be connected to
Saddam Hussein." I said, "But -- I'm willing to say it but what's your
evidence?" And I never got any evidence. And these were people who had --
Middle East think tanks and people like this and it was a lot of pressure
to connect this and there were a lot of assumptions made. But I never
personally saw the evidence and didn't talk to anybody who had the
evidence to make that connection.
