Okay, so the hottie from Arkansas thinks the retired General would make a
good president. This is centrist Democrat politics at work. You know,
"Republican Lite."
I don't WANT a general in the White House, even though I think Wes Clark is
a pretty decent guy.
The thing is, he can't go toe to toe with Rove and make Karl crap his pants
a few times.
I want a SCRAPPER! I want a brawler. Which is why I'm backing Dean so far.
I'm picking the Dem candidate the way Machiavelli would pick a race horse.
Not the pretty one. The one that can run the fastest.
GIMME SEABISCUIT!

Clinton: Clark Would Make Good President
By James Jefferson
Associated Press Political Writer
Saturday 28 June 2003
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - While he's making no endorsements, former President
Clinton says fellow Arkansan Wesley Clark would make a good president if he
should decide to run.
Clinton says he has been impressed by the retired Army general's career
from its inception, as a cadet at the U.S. Military Academy, where Clark
finished first in his class.
"He has always exceeded in every endeavor," Clinton told The Associated
Press on Friday, noting in particular Clark's major role as NATO commander,
when he ran the 1999 Kosovo air war that drove Serb forces out of the
embattled Serbian province.
"While I cannot take sides in the Democratic primary, I believe Wes, if
he runs, would make a valuable contribution because he understands America's
security challenges and domestic priorities," Clinton said. "I believe he
would make a good president."
Clinton's comments were in an e-mailed response to a question to his New
York office.
Clark is contemplating a presidential bid next year and has visited New
Hampshire, as have the nine declared Democratic presidential aspirants.
Like the Democrats already in the race, Clark embraces policies that
Clinton pursued during his eight years as president.
Clark speaks well of Clinton, even attributing the swift U.S.-led
victory in Iraq this spring to seeds sown or cultivated during Clinton's
years in Washington.
The battlefield tactics and technology, which won high praise, "was an
idea that we put in place during the 1990s, through the investments, the
training, leadership and leadership development processes," Clark said in an
interview.
Clark also approved of Clinton's $241 billion tax increase in 1993,
among the largest in U.S. history. He criticized Bush for reversing the
Clinton tax strategy.
Last week, the Draft Clark 2004 for President Committee announced plans
to open its first campaign field office in New Hampshire over the
Independence Day weekend.
