Wesley Clark -- Mercenary

Washington Times ^ | 8/29/03

[kattracks]

Retired Gen. Wesley Clark's year-long flirtation with running for the presidency is becoming absurd. Not since Mario (Hamlet-on-the Hudson) Cuomo's ultimately fruitless presidential dalliance in the eighties has a non-candidate received so much press coverage, most of it uncritical. Mr. Clark is posturing himself above partisan politics, presumably deciding which party he will represent should he actually run for president based on an undisclosed calculus of self-interest. He doesn't seem to grasp that there are clear philosophical differences between Republicans and Democrats, and that choosing sides is a matter of principle, not expediency. Mr. Clark's actions in the presidential arena make him the equivalent of a political mercenary.

Wasn't Wesley Clark tied to International A.N.S.W.E.R?

If this cretin decides to call himself a republican in order to run for national office, it will make the California recall fiasco look like a hill of beans.

You're thinking of Ramsey Clark.

Ramsey & Wesley would get along well in a hot tub. They lean the same way.

Wesley Clark deserves to go down in history as one of the most inept, politically appointed hacks acting as a commander the military has ever been forced to endure--the country definately doesn't need him as a president.
