MANCHESTER, NH -- Joe Lieberman issued the following statement in response to the Drudge Report's discovery of congressional testimony from September 2002 in which Wes Clark made the case for war in Iraq. The report provides evidence directly contradicting Clark's repeated claims that he has been "very consistent" on the war "from the very beginning." Statement by Joe Lieberman "Yesterday, Wesley Clark attacked me for pointing out his multiple positions on the war in Iraq. It is no longer credible for Wesley Clark to assert that he has always had only one position on the war - being against it....

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 camworld Posted to Official Campaign (Call To Action) on Tue Jan 13th, 2004 at 12:01:47 AM EST Matt Bennett is the Director of Communications at Clark for President. General Clark asked him to pass on this message to the online community and supporters. General Clark is outraged! The New York Times and pundits on CNN have utterly distorted the facts about his statements regarding Iraq and al Qaeda. Here are the facts: Wes Clark has always said that there was some link between al Qaeda and Saddam's intelligence agents. But he has also always maintained that there is NO...

USA Today Found Hoax Before Writer Confessed Former USA Today correspondent Jack Kelley acknowledged through his attorney yesterday that his confession to deceiving his newspaper during an investigation of his reporting came only after being presented with evidence of what he had done. The newspaper, meanwhile, now says that Kelley was forced to quit. SNIP Although USA Today has examined several Kelley stories, the focus remains on his 1999 front-page report that human rights activist Natasa Kandic, who was not named in the article, had obtained "a Yugoslav army three-ring notebook" that "contains a direct order to a lieutenant to...

EU prostitute corridor may let in terror bomb AP[ SUNDAY, DECEMBER 28, 2003 11:07:46 AM ] ROTTERDAM : Efforts to tighten security for sea-borne containers won't lessen the risk that terrorists could team up with criminal gangs to sneak a nuclear weapon into Europe by land, through the poorly policed Balkans, some security experts warn. Al-Qaeda or some other terrorist group could send a Soviet-built tactical warhead along the same, well-traveled routes that traffickers use to smuggle prostitutes and drugs into western Europe, said Tom Sanderson of the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a nonpartisan think tank in Washington...

CLARK CONSPIRACY NO. 18 MR. CLARK:  "[I]t came from the White House, it came from people around the White House. ... I got a call on 9/11.

BELGRADE, Serbia-Montenegro (AP)--Jailed former President Slobodan Milosevic and another U.N. war crimes suspect won seats in Serbia's parliament as an extreme nationalist party swept weekend elections, according to results released Monday. Vojislav Seselj's Serbian Radical Party, which supported Milosevic's Balkan war campaigns in the 1990s, won 81 seats in Sunday's ballot for the 250-seat parliament--far more than the pro-Western groups that toppled Milosevic three years ago, the state electoral commission said. Milosevic of the Serbian Socialist Party and Seselj are jailed by the U.N. tribunal at The Hague on atrocity charges stemming from the wars in Croatia, Bosnia and Kosovo....

Clark's credibility gap - Jeff Jacoby December 22, 2003 Wesley Clark, the four-star general who commanded US forces in Europe during the Kosovo war, is running for president as an opponent of the war in Iraq. So what will he say, a questioner asks, when the Bush camp levels the obvious criticism: If General Clark had his way, Saddam Hussein would still be in power. "If General Clark had his way," the candidate instantly replies, "we'd have had Osama bin Laden dead or alive two years ago, and the world would have been a lot safer. And then we'd have...

Startling comments IMHO.... "And I would say to the Europeans, I pledge to you as the American president that we’ll consult with you first. You get the right of first refusal on the security concerns that we have. We’ll bring you in."

Clark Credits Clinton for Ghadafy Breakthrough Democratic presidential hopeful Gen. Wesley Clark said Sunday that his old boss Bill Clinton - not President Bush - deserved credit for forcing Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi to abandon his weapons of mass destruction programs, even though Gadhafi's turnaround came nearly three years after Clinton had left office. "It's a program of squeezing Libya that's gone on for more than a decade," Clark told a Derry, New Hampshire audience, according to the Concord Monitor. "The Clinton administration was very much involved with this." In a slap at Bush, Clark said, it "shows that you...

JUDGE MAY: Are we in open session? Yes. 20 There are two -- three matters, potentially, which we have to 21 address at this stage. The first is the extent, if any, it is appropriate 22 with this important witness to have any evidence given under Rule 89(F), 23 he dealing with the accused very substantially on conversations, some of 24 which have been in dispute, in some cases heavily in dispute. And it 25 would therefore seem to us to be appropriate that those matters should be Page 30363 1 dealt with in open session. 2 We are concerned...

Sometimes you can tell more about a person from what he does not say than from what he does. This certainly is true in the case of the pompous "100 Year Vision" statement put up by General Clark on his campaign website. A collection of neo-leftist, politically correct and poll-tested jargon, it tries to project Clark as something of a visionary. But while the carefully worded, consultant vetted rambling essay discusses things such as "American ecosystems", "bioethics", and "smoothing the business cycle", it leaves out the paramount concern of our time, the terror attack on the United States and the...
