<p>Polls show Democratic presidential candidate Wesley Clark doing well as he fights for Oklahoma's 40 delegates, but the state hasn't been entirely friendly territory him.</p> <p>Clark's three-car caravan was headed back from a campaign appearance in McAlester to Oklahoma City shortly after midnight Sunday when it was pulled over by a state trooper.</p>

After persuading Gen. Wesley Clark to enter the presidential sweepstakes last September and staffing his campaign with their closest advisors, Bill and Hillary Clinton are reportedly preparing to dump the former NATO Commander. "[The Clintons] are stepping away from [him] so fast, like rats from a ship," NBC's Chris Matthews said Sunday. "The Clintons deny any connection to the Clark campaign," he added, before predicting, "[Bill Clinton] will be the only man in history to fire Wesley Clark twice." The Clark campaign crashed and burned in New Hampshire with a disappointing fourth place finish after he refused to distance himself...

Democratic presidential candidates preach hate The Augusta Chronicle By: Herman Cain December 28, 2003 WHAT HAS HAPPENED to "united we stand?" Yes, as Americans, we can disagree and have the right to voice those disagreements, but destructive rhetoric about the war in Iraq for the purpose of self-promotion is demoralizing to our troops and the American people. Unfortunately, we can expect nothing more from the candidates running for the Democratic presidential nomination. Their words and their actions are unpatriotic. Democratic presidential candidate U.S. Rep. Dick Gephardt of Missouri actually said, "The president is a miserable failure (on foreign policy)." In...

Democrats are so delirious about finding a general who is a pacifist scaredy-cat that no one seems to have bothered to investigate whether Wesley Clark is sane. On "Meet the Press" back in November, Clark described intelligence as "a sort of gray goo as you look at it. You can't see through it, exactly, and if you try to touch it, it gets real sticky and you might actually interfere with the information that you're getting back. So you have to draw inferences from it." No, wait. I'm sorry. I think that was Clark talking about Monica Lewinsky's dress,...

By John Whitesides, Political Correspondent WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Retired four-star Gen. Wesley Clark (news - web sites) made a splashy but late entrance into the 2004 White House race, riding a gold-plated resume to the top tier of the Democratic pack before a series of early missteps sent him tumbling.   But Clark, a quick study as a Rhodes scholar and the top cadet in his class at West Point, has since found his voice on the campaign trail and says he is tailor-made for a race against President Bush (news - web sites) in which national security and foreign...

NATO said it won a great victory, but the war did very little damage to Serb forces. By not conceding this, the Pentagon may mislead future presidents about the limits of U.S. power. A NEWSWEEK exclusive. It was acclaimed as the most successful air campaign ever. "A turning point in the history of warfare," wrote the noted military historian John Keegan, proof positive that "a war can be won by airpower alone." At a press conference last June, after Serbian strongman Slobodan Milosevic agreed to pull his Army from Kosovo at the end of a 78-day aerial bombardment that had...

A SUMMARY OF THE GENERAL CLARK'S CAMPAIGN STOP IN THE 'TRIAL OF THE CENTURY' How can anyone believe that for eight years Clark, the general in command when NATO bombed Yugoslavia, had information on genocide and he didn't shout it until he's running for president? Retired American General Wesley Clark testified in front of The Hague Tribunal on Monday and Tuesday. From the outset it was apparent that his testimony would be stage-managed and restricted so as not to embarrass the "perfumed prince" or his government. It was indeed what happened. As soon as the proceedings started, President Milosevic objected...

Reporters desperate for a glimpse of Michael Jackson today accidentally trampled al-Qaeda terror boss Osama bin Laden, whose appearance at the singer’s Neverland ranch went virtually unnoticed. Mr. bin Laden reportedly made the torturous journey from the mountainous region along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border to Santa Barbara in the hopes of receiving a signed copy of Mr. Jackson’s new greatest hits CD, “Number Ones.” A recent posting on the official al-Qaeda website alluded to Mr. bin Laden’s wish to have a private meeting with Mr. Jackson in which the self-styled King of Pop could teach the terror chief his legendary “moonwalking”...

Recently discovered that Wesley Clark had a twin brother. His twin also suffered from delusions of grandeur.

Attention Freepers: In order to duly recognize the chief architect of General Ashley William Jefferson Clark's foreign, domestic and military policies, in the interest of journalistic integrity, I hereby call all posters to include the following message prominently in posts relating to him: Mary, help!!!!!!

The lraq-Money 3-Step You can dress up the Democratic Party in whatever uniform you want, it still doesn't have a strategy for the defining challenge of our time. A WEEK into his presidential bid, Wesley Clark looks less like the Democrats' solution than another symptom of their basic problem. That problem is that much of the Democratic base still doesn't take national security seriously. Sure, Democrats know that most Americans don't trust the party to keep them safe. But they deny that this distrust has anything to do with prevailing Democratic ideology. The party, they reassure themselves, merely needs...

WASHINGTON, September 22 (IslamOnline.net) - U.S. Presidential hopeful Wesley Clark, the former general who led NATO forces during the Kosovo campaign, revealed on Monday, September 22, that the Bush administration had set-up a five-year plan to invade seven Muslim countries after the 9/11 attacks, beginning with Iraq, then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Iran, Somalia, and finally Sudan. In his book "The Clark Critique" excerpts of which were published by this week's Newsweek edition, the four-star retired general wrote that following the September attacks, the U.S. administration became preoccupied with the idea of "state sponsorship" and "draining the swamp" of terrorism. "In...

[Check the picture at this link] "Feelings Feelings like I wanna deck you Feelings like I gotta get you Out of my life" In a spontaneous moment during a Boston TV station's interview " Dean Brings Campaign To Kerry's Turf," Howard Dean apparently forgot cameras were rolling. "I have met with Wes Clark a number of times, that's how I know him. And I like him, and I think he's smart. He'll bring a lot to the Democratic field," said Dean. "I'm not going to say what we discussed."

Gen. Clark v Gen. Scott

The retired General who had been refusing to declare himself a Democrat or Republican is now declaring himself a Democratic presidential candidate. But more important than his party affiliation is Wesley Clark’s bizarre view on how to fight terrorism. The media refer to Clark’s impressive military credentials but they fail to note that his main accomplishment under President Clinton was presiding over the establishment of a base for radical Islamic terrorism, including Osama bin Laden, in Kosovo. Clark, who has been making headlines by claiming that the U.S. decision to go to war in Iraq was a misjudgment based on...

All around Washington last week -- and before and after on the phone -- I've been busy asking people about Wesley Clark. I talked with people who worked with him, some of them very closely, asking over and over again a variation of the same question: Is Wesley Clark too weird for prime time? Let me first tell you why I asked the question: It's because Clark in effect got fired from the Pentagon. Not to put too fine a point on it, then-Defense Secretary Bill Cohen, joined by many of Clark's colleagues, came to just plain dislike him. Some...

General Ashley Wilkes Enters The Race September 17, 2003 I cued the Dr. Strangelove music as I began Wednesday's program discussing the 10th dwarf in the Democratic presidential primaries. I quoted Richard Goldstein's Village Voice piece talking about Democrats "searching for the candidate with the right kind of masculine presentation." He writes, "If Bill Clinton was a bottom-feeding Rhett Butler, then Wesley Clark is Ashley Wilkes..." Folks, Ashley Wilkes was a wimp - and he was on the losing side of the Civil War! Women hate him because he depended on Scarlett O'Hara to do everything! Note also that liberal...
