Wesley Clark: Liar?

I'm watching General Clark on C-SPAN2, fielding softball questions about his candidacy. One cute little girl asked him why he decided to run. He said basically that he felt the war on Iraq was very, very wrong, and that Bush's domestic policy was wrong, wrong, wrong also. And these were *so* wrong, he was compelled to run.

Juxtapose this against his earlier claims that he would have been glad to be a Republican if only the White House had returned his calls.

So let me get this straight, Wesley. Either you're telling the truth, and you'd gladly have sold out your inner convictions, if only those in power now had returned a phone call? The only other alternative is that you were lying about the phone call thing.

One way, he's unprinciped; the other way, he's unprincipled. Pick which one you think is true.

Well, I guess I'm done taking Wesley Clark seriously. That was a fun fifteen minutes.

Just remember, each time you hear him say how bad he thinks the Bush administration is, that by this own public statements, he'd have been a supporter if only they'd returned his phone calls.

what if the bush camp sent old wesley in as a democrat just in case the democrats won the presidential election? then the warmongers would really have it locked up (in case the computerized voting tabulations didn't get bush re-elected).
this country drives me nuts.
maybe that's the idea?

Kerry served in Vietnam ... a war commenly perceived as unjustified ... remember the 60s?
By returning from this war and speaking up against it, Kerry showed the courage to admit that something our country has done was WRONG ... we messed up there.
We haven't found any WMD in Iraq and now the world, which was completely on our side after the 9/11 attacks has turned on us, Al Qaeda's ranks are busting at the seams (read about what is going on in Pakistan - one of our allies !!!) and Bush still can't admit it was unjustified to attack Iraq ... he even claims the world is safer now, with all the facts speaking against that (increase in terrorism world wide etc. READ THE REPORTS)
Some(!) of us americans may think it was just to go in there, "to make us safer" ... but we completly failed at this task ... we even broke the Geneva Conventions (Abu Graib) and that has been linked to the top ranks of our administration ...
Bush and anyone who even just considers to let him lead our country for another 4 years should be ashamed of themselves ... in any other country they would have lynched a leader/liar like that. Look at what Blair has to put up with now.
In addition you might want to consider taking a look at this: http://www.costofwar.com/

Open your eyes.

We loose 40000 in traffic accidents every year.
We lost 3000 lives to the terrorist attacks.
We lost 1000 lives (accidents+combat) in Iraq.
Anyone counting the innocent lives we are taking by "making our country and the world safer"?
Bush alsways says he makes the world safer ... didn't we just attack two countries? I'm sure they feel safe now .... ridiculous ...
Where are our priorities?

I could go on and on. I recommend to everyone to go ona vacation to Europe or Asia and form a REAL opinion on the results of Bush's policy ... I for one want to be proud of my country again and will NOT vote for Bush on Nov. 2nd.
