Clark is not going to be the puppet of some media-created timeline, capiche?

He said he hasn't set a deadline for making a decision on the presidential race.
“I don't deal with timelines,” Clark said. “For me, it's talking to people and working separate related issues.”

Neil Cavuto: But let me ask you, General, regardless of views on the war - and I could speak to you forever about that - on this idea of 20 people already in the race or all but declaring that they're in the race and we have another couple of years to go, what do you think about that?

GENERAL WESLEY CLARK: Well, I think, I hope a lot of the American people'll be interested in this. You know, not everybody in America follows Fox News or CNN or hangs onto what political reporters say, and when I travel across America, I'm always, I, I talk to people in every airport. I travel by public transportation, and people come up to me all the time, and a lot of people just, they don't follow politics that closely. So, I think if people get energized by the fact a lot of people are in the race, and people are saying, 'Gee, what makes them different? What are they saying?' I think that's good, because I think Democracy-

Neil Cavuto: Well, are you running? Are you going to run?

GENERAL WESLEY CLARK: -is about that communication. Well, I haven't made a decision on that yet. I haven't said I won't run, but for me it's about the message. I'm very concerned about where this country's heading-

Neil Cavuto: Okay.

GENERAL WESLEY CLARK: -strategically. We're not taking America forward the way we should be.

Neil Cavuto: Alright, General.

GENERAL WESLEY CLARK: We're bogged down in the Middle East, Neil, and I'd love to pursue the points you covered with Tony Snow on the economy.

Neil Cavuto: We will. We will. General, it's good to have you.

GENERAL WESLEY CLARK: You can have me back on, and it's do it.

Neil Cavuto: Done done, you'll have to wear a pink tie though.

GENERAL WESLEY CLARK: (laughs)

Neil Cavuto: General Wesley Clark, thank you very much.

GENERAL WESLEY CLARK: Thank you Neil.

As Ol' blue eyes sang the best:

And now, the end is near;
And so I face the final curtain.
My friend, Ill say it clear,
Ill state my case, of which I'm certain.

Ive lived a life thats full.
Ive traveled each and every highway;
And more, much more than this,
I did it my way.

Regrets, Ive had a few;
But then again, too few to mention.
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption.

I planned each charted course;
Each careful step along the byway,
But more, much more than this,
I did it my way.

Yes, there were times, Im sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew.
But through it all, when there was doubt,
I ate it up and spit it out.
I faced it all and I stood tall;
And did it my way.

Ive loved, Ive laughed and cried.
Ive had my fill; my share of losing.
And now, as tears subside,
I find it all so amusing.

To think I did all that;
And may I say - not in a shy way,
No, oh no not me,
I did it my way.

For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught.
To say the things he truly feels;
And not the words of one who kneels.
The record shows I took the blows -
And did it my way!

2. There are three or four accepted spellings
capishe and capice are two of them.

3. capishe simply does not look italian at all
the italian is capisce, the americanized version is capice. I've actually never seen capishe used before, capice?

6. For Clark, it's not about game-playing; and it's not late, it's February.

Valentines day, to be exact....

more than 7 months before September 17 (the last time Clark announced).

7. That didn't work so well though
He probably won't wait that long this time around, he's got a quick learning curve and will probably jump in soon, most likely before summer, so that he has the time to get the ball rolling in Iowa, Nevada, and New Hampshire.

8. Oh, I'm sure he will. If he determines running is the best course of action
to take to help set a better course for America in the 21st century.
