Clark: W afraid of Osama
Retired Army Gen. Wesley Clark accused President Bush yesterday of going after Saddam Hussein because he didn't have the guts to take out Osama Bin Laden first.

" did a bait-and-switch on us and substituted Saddam Hussein, and boom, $150 billion, 460 American lives and no telling how much more of our Treasury before this is all over," the Democratic hopeful told ABC's "This Week."

"This administration didn't have the heart to put the effort and the innovation and the ingenuity into fighting terror," Clark said. Clark said he "wouldn't have been afraid to try" to kill Al Qaeda's leader, Bin Laden, had he been President in the aftermath of Sept. 11, 2001.

hell of a President!

I am more and more impressed with him each day. He shows no fear in saying what he thinks of W and his failures.

The General is our best hope to get our White House back!

5. Did you miss this one?
http://clark04.com/press/release/135/

"The closest to real combat that Tom 'Chicken-Hawk' Delay has ever come was when he got himself a student deferment from Vietnam and instead suited up in his exterminator outfit and defended the people of Texas against invading cockroaches, marauding red ants and hostile moths. Wes Clark has seen real combat, given his blood for our country, and commanded troops in battle, which is why he believes we need to win the war on terrorism instead of declaring victory when we all know that the terrorists directly responsible for 9/11 are still out there at large. General Clark lives in a world where he believes that America will be stronger, safer and more secure if we are focused on winning the war against the terrorists, getting Osama bin Laden and working with our Allies."

I love these right on attacks of Gen. Clark. My only problem is with the radio/TV media, who don't seem to be mentioning them at all. I fear this will be a real problem when the general election campaign comes along. I really think that with Murdoch in control of more and more stuff he'll make sure that the Democratic message does not get out. That means we'll all have to take the message to the people ourselves.

8. Gird your loins Gen. Clark............
you will now become THE target of the "liberal" press and the White House propaganda machine. I'm beginning to like Clark more with each passing day. Between he and Dean, the pressure is increasing on the Reich Wing and it's becoming increasingly more difficult for them to plug the holes in their leaky foreign policy dyke.
