Some excellent posts...new and old...from Wes Clark on Daily Kos. Sums up
his thinking and view point in a nut shell. Shows how prophetic the man is. We NEED him. Thanks to Stan Davis for composing this and emailing it to Clarkies. Please read...especially if you have any doubts or questions about this man!


Is War with Iran Inevitable?
by Wes Clark
Mon Feb 12, 2007 at 09:24:57 AM PST
As the President fights for public support of his troop surge in Iraq, he is also ratcheting up the pressure on Iran. A second aircraft carrier battle group (with Newsweek reporting a third group likely to follow), Patriot missiles to protect our allies, arresting Iranian personnel in Iraq, releasing additional information about Iranian involvement, appointing a Navy Admiral to command forces in the region, even seeking diplomatic support from Sunni Arab friends in the region - Yes, the Iranians are interfering inside Iraq and seeking nuclear capabilities. Yet the President's recent actions give the US little additional leverage to engage and dissuade Iran, and, more than likely, simply accelerate a dangerous slide into war. The United States can do better than this.

The 2006 Elections
by Wes Clark
Fri Jul 14, 2006 at 01:05:00 PM PST
The American Constitution gives us the right and the duty to question our government during good times and bad. Republicans may not believe it, but debate and criticism are patriotic! It's our duty as citizens to stand up and hold our leaders accountable, for the good of all Americans.

Now, with our nation facing many critical challenges, we must fulfill that duty and exercise those rights while we still have time to turn things around and get America back on track. How? By taking back Congress and ending the Bush Era of one-party government in November.

We should be worried...Clark is! We have a madman in office with the power to destroy the world!

3. Well, the world doesn't now Wesley Clark as of yet....
and the powers-that-be have made sure of it.

Considering California, big money primary pushed up to Feb 5th doesn't give me much hope that those candidates NOT constantly provided with free publicity galore can ever win a nomination ever again.

Sad but true.

Say goodbye to democracy, say hello to the Mega Money Mediacracy form of elections.

Guess this is why not a soul running is mentioning the voting machines. Guess we'll have to wait till after the next election are stolen again before we start crying again.

4. That's the most depressing post I've read all day.
Unfortunately, I guess that's true!
