When Wes Clark ran for President, I was all for it. Here was a guy, the former commander of NATO who wanted to become the President. Soon thereafter I realized that just because Clark came from the military, he certainly was not a conservative. Clark took the pulpit to criticize Bush on Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran and North Korea without really putting together any ideas of what he would have done differently except that he would have built a 'coalition'.
In a speech to the Arkansas Associated Press Managing Editors Association, Clark said that because of the recent round of military base closings and re-alignments, "We're losing influence abroad when we bring those troops home, and we lose the interaction with America when we create these super bases."

WESLEY WHO???? Does anyone really care what this JERK says? He is nobody. He's has held NO political office and has no political experience under his belt!
You can't lose what you lost long, long ago. During the Kosovo campaign, Clark on three occasions wanted to take actions that would have provoked war with Russia. Not a trait you would want in a president.
Hillary supported Clark originally and I would suppose it was his military background since we would look at her as a ridiculous Commander in Chief. It was why she wanted to be on the Armed Services Committee and as she said "I want to know what I'm talking about". Don't think she realized that Clark was so controversial....pretty dumb for being the smartest woman in the world. (Yeh, right).
He might be a thinkin' that his concessions will dry up.
yep, that the one, though I thought his was a lot smaller.
Clark is the only dimocrat presidential contender [?] that was worse than Kucinich, or was that Graham? Maybe it was Sharpton? Gee ... I forget, but Clark was pretty low on the lowness charts.
LOL Wee Wesley Winkie!
