"Take us on? Don't try! And that's not hubris, it's just plain fact."

"The credibility of the United States is on the line, and Saddam Hussein has these weapons and so, you know, we're going to go ahead and do this and the rest of the world's got to get with us.... The U.N. has got to come in and belly up to the bar on this. But the president of the United States has put his credibility on the line, too. And so this is the time that these nations around the world, and the United Nations, are going to have to look at this evidence and decide who they line up with." -Wesley Clark, CNN, 2/05/03


they did look at the evidence, mr. clark.

and they weren't fooled and hungry for an illegal war.


so why were you?


"The operation in Iraq will also serve as a launching pad for further diplomatic overtures, pressures and even military actions against others in the region who have supported terrorism and garnered weapons of mass destruction. Don’t look for stability as a Western goal. Governments in Syria and Iran will be put on notice — indeed, may have been already — that they are “next” if they fail to comply with Washington’s concerns." -Wesley Clark, 4/11/03

i'm sorry, you say you are or aren't a neocon war hawk?


"The campaign in Iraq illustrates the continuing progress of military technology and tactics, but if there is a single overriding lesson it must be this: American military power, especially when buttressed by Britain's, is virtually unchallengeable today. Take us on? Don't try! And that's not hubris, it's just plain fact." -Wesley Clark, London Times, 4/11/03

yeh, those iraqis underestimated the u-s when they messed with us didn't they...

ask all those maimed and wounded (nevermind the thousands killed), i don't think they asked to "take on" the u-s military.





so i ask you all again -- clark, the anti-war candidate???


try again.
