That's it I'm going home. I might just run away to the Adirondacks.......and I won't be back until Monday....>:^P” 3:39:39 PM 2/12/04 “Clark must've cut arclite off in traffice once and he's never been the same. As the campaing goes, the Little Rock office has been getting pounded with phone calls asking the General to stay in. I'd have to say, take the Vay Kay to Hawaii, then come back refreshed.” 3:45:37 PM 2/12/04 “Hey, I just thought you were against compassionate conservatives. Turns out you want to be against passionate conservatives…literally! LOL!” 3:45:56 PM 2/12/04 “WHOA! This is a blast from the past :) MAN! What a serious hurting the General put on the Bush boy in the opening speach. Did somebody say......SASSY!” 7:34:30 PM 7/29/04 “Way to go, Wesley.” 12:42:33 AM 7/30/04 “Wesley Clark is yet another example of a veteran who the right has no qualms about defaming. Where will they stop? I guess George Washington will be next.” 9:58:16 AM 7/30/04 “WASHINGTON (AP) -- Former Democratic presidential candidate Wesley Clark accused the Bush administration Saturday of taking the nation on a "path to nowhere" with misguided moves on national security. The retired Army general and NATO military commander argued in the Democrats' weekly radio address that the United States needs a new plan to win the war on terror after failing to find September 11 terror mastermind Osama bin Laden, fighting an unnecessary war in Iraq and stumbling in halting weapons proliferation in North Korea and Iran. Clark coupled his criticism of President Bush's policies with a renewed call for the Democratic plan on national security that party leaders unveiled this week. Portrayed by opponents as weak on national security, Democrats contend that they've cut into the Republican advantage in this midterm-election year based on White House missteps on Iraq and ports security. "This administration has taken us on a path to nowhere -- replete with hyped intelligence, macho slogans and an incredible failure to see the obvious," Clark said in the broadcast. A candidate in 2004 for the Democratic nomination, Clark has been mentioned as a possible contender again in 2008. The administration "has shown tragic incompetence in everything from nation building in Iraq to disaster relief in Louisiana," he said. "Let's face it: We're not going to win the war on terror unless we start making more friends and fewer enemies in the world, and we're not going to be able to protect the American people without a new strategy." Clark joined House and Senate Democrats on Wednesday in calling for a strategy that would provide U.S. agents with the resources to pursue bin Laden, redeployment of U.S. forces from Iraq, better equipment for the military and improved screening of containers and inbound cargo. He argued that the nation "is in danger from the administration's mistaken policies and priorities." Clark offered a litany of missteps, from the failure to get bin Laden to the more than 2,300 U.S. military deaths in Iraq and the thousands wounded. Domestically, he cited several challenges, including rising gasoline prices, illegal immigration and the impact of global warming. http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/04/01/dems.radio.ap/index.html” 1:23:03 PM 4/01/06 “He's probably right , but where would we be going if he were boss.” 2:00:30 PM 4/01/06 “Hey USA, before the election there was a Primary. Wesley Clark was not even the first choice for Democrats, .. let alone the whole country. He lost even before the election. Actually that was 3 years ago, let it go.” 5:21:50 PM 4/03/06 “WEASELY CLARK????HOLY CRAP. That guy was a LOUSY field officer. You need to talk to some of the people who served under him. He is as close to the French as you can get.” 7:41:19 PM 4/03/06 “He was commander of my division (1st Cav) during DS.” 7:46:49 PM 4/03/06 “Sarge....I knew men who worked with him at NATO. Sorry but my cocker spaniel could have won DS with the First Cav. YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST. He left NATO...for reasons unknown” 7:54:26 PM 4/03/06 “I thought I remember him screwing something up with NATO. Didn't he change the orders and things went to heck in a handbasket?” 7:57:17 PM 4/03/06 “http://www.newyorker.com/fact/content/?031117fa_fact Sarge....Um....I know officers (old classmates from the Academy) who I trust implicitly explains The Weasel was a pure unadulterated Self Promoter. Check the way he swapped stories...nah he is The Poodle with a few more years in the military.” 8:02:49 PM 4/03/06 “here's a good quote: "Clark had declared that chief among America’s mistakes was that it had gone to war in Iraq without “the mantle of authority” bestowed by United Nations approval. But hadn’t the Kosovo war also been conducted without the endorsement of the U.N. Security Council? Yes, Clark allowed, and in that regard the Kosovo war was “technically illegal." LOL! by the way - after doing some more reading I think it was Kosovo he screwed up, which consequently resulted in him leaving NATO prematurely. last edited: 4/03/06 8:05:41 PM” 8:04:56 PM 4/03/06 “We had another Self promoting Chief Executive. I just can't take another Chief who sees our nation as their personal way to build a "legacy". Sorry, I lost too damn many friends in the payment for that. Wesley is not worth it. Now you want a President. J.C Watts (of Oklahoma), Any person who does not see Government as the Solution. Sorry but even the present occupant of the White House is a Government Solution guy.” 8:19:14 PM 4/03/06 “I don't think Wesley Clark would make too bad of a President. Remember, in the Dem primaries the candidates have to cater left of normal (which is left of left), in order to even have a shot at seriously running for Prez. I think they talk even more left and radical than they in reality are. Even Lieberman (whom I greatly respect and would have no problem voting for) took a big turn to the left when running with Gore. With Gore he dropped all (okay, most) of his morals and just went with the lefty flow, when in reality he's a smart, intelligent, common-sense middle-of-the-roader. My guess is in reality Clark is more middle-of-the-road. But unfortunately Democratic primaries are not based in reality. They're based upon who can give the ugliest, meanest, most radical responses without blinking an eye. Just my perspective. I say this without thinking too highly of the Republican primaries either. I'm goin' independent.” 8:25:49 PM 4/03/06 “Buck, I am quoting a REAL General. Mark W. Clark, he asked this question. With the exception of General Washington who did not want to be a General and Did not want to be President. Name one Good General who was a good President?” 8:47:01 PM 4/03/06 “I've seen criticisms of him in both roles, but I think Ike was good in both.” 11:02:05 AM 4/04/06 “Ike !! LOL who left his successor to deal with nukes set up 90 miles off the coast. Peace at any price ? Thankfully JFK had the guts to say enough.” 11:42:47 AM 4/04/06 “Sorry as a President Ike was a great golfer. I even enjoy checking out Ikes tree at Augusta National every now and then.” 3:04:10 PM 4/04/06 Jump to Page << prev
