Wesley Clark Backs Hillary For President

(AP)  Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton was endorsed Saturday by Wesley Clark, the retired four-star general whose early criticism of the Iraq war fueled a high-profile but short-lived run for the party's nomination in 2004.

"Senator Clinton has the experience, good judgment and the battle-tested character to face the challenges ahead," Clark told The Associated Press.

Clark, who joined the Democratic field four years ago largely due to an active online draft movement, planned to discuss his endorsement on a conference call with bloggers later Saturday.

A decorated career Army officer who graduated first in his class at West Point, Clark served as NATO's supreme allied commander and led the Operation Allied Force in the Kosovo war under President Bill Clinton.

Clark received numerous military commendations throughout his 34-year career and was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Clark's brief foray into presidential politics was not as successful.

He was a latecomer to the 2004 field. His military credentials and forceful criticism of President George W. Bush's handling of the Iraq war propelled him to the top of polls for a time. But he stumbled on his first full day as a candidate, saying he "probably" would have voted for the congressional resolution authorizing the Iraq invasion. Questions about that statement dogged him for the rest of the campaign.

Clark left the race in February after finishing a weak third in New Hampshire and winning just one primary - Oklahoma's - after that. He endorsed the eventual Democratic nominee, Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry.

Clark has remained active in politics, running a political action committee, WESpac, and campaigning for Democratic candidates around the country.

Gen Clark is one of the most intelligent, wisest and most respected people on this planet.
Finished 1st in his Class at West Point - No Small feat any academy grad would tell you.
Supreme Allied commander - No Small feat any military commander would tell you.
The Man''s been right all along on the Iraq War, the strategy, the Bush policies and Pentagon Complicity.
He knows what hes talking about, and if he was running again, i''d be proud to vote for this champion of the United States of America.
He fully supports the Troops and their needs, and knows they have been treated badly by this administration. Our Troops need someone to stand up for them because no one in the pentagon or the Bush military is going to.

What Thomas Jefferson learned from the Muslim book of jihad

Thomas Jefferson knew about fascist nazi islam..... he killed plenty of them....

In 1786 Jefferson and John Adams went to negotiate with Tripoli''s envoy to London, Ambassador Sidi Haji Abdrahaman or (Sidi Haji Abdul Rahman Adja). They asked him by what right he extorted money and took slaves. Jefferson reported to Secretary of State John Jay, and to the Congress:

The ambassador answered us that [the right] was founded on the Laws of the Prophet (Mohammed), that it was written in their Koran, that all nations who should not have answered their authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to make war upon them wherever they could be found, and to make slaves of all they could take as prisoners, and that every Mussulman who should be slain in battle was sure to go to heaven.[1]

Lars008, do you think anyone actually takes you seriously? You be much more persuasive if you stopped the mass cut-n-pastes and wrote short, concise posts.

Just a little friendly advice . . . because as it, you just seem hysterical.

Lars008,

If Operation Enduring Occupation is a continuation of Desert Storm, where are the Saudis?Why are we in Baghdad? The no-fly zone had him contained.

Your argument is neo-con bull. Cheney & Rumsfeld lost the argument to go to Baghdad and never accepted the way Desert Storm ended.

Why don''t you get your Haj *** to Iraq and take your Belgian Nazi friends with you. Or better yet, come to North Carolina and try calling me Haj to my face little man.

Former Prime Minister Tony Blair, in one of his speeches arguing in favor of invading Iraq, he explained the dilemma something to this effect:

Let%u2019s say one day you go to a man%u2019s home and enter his bedroom. In the top drawer of his night table you find a gun, which he admits he owns. Now let%u2019s say a month later you go to that same man%u2019s house and go to his bedroom. You look in the dresser drawer and the gun isn%u2019t there. You ask him %u201Cwhere%u2019s the gun?%u201D If he says, %u201Cwhat gun? I don%u2019t know anything about a gun,%u201D you can%u2019t just say %u201COk%u201D and take his word for it. He had the gun before, so one of two things happened. Either he still has the gun and hid it somewhere, or he disposed of the gun, in which case he should be able to explain how he disposed of it. But in no case, can you conclude that the gun never existed in the first place.

Yet, that is exactly what Saddam Hussein did, and somehow the left still found him credible. Bush must be the one who lied!


This is the question: since at some point Saddam Hussein admitted that he had stockpiles of WMD, how could he have subsequently made them vanish into thin air without a trace, without documentation, without evidence of destruction, without residual contamination, and without witnesses?

Magnus Gahnstrvm We have to defend our democratic rights against religious faschism. The swedish government must act now.

LEIF LJUNGKVIST PEOPLE SHALL BE FREE TO SAY AND THINK WHAT THEY WANT

Bjorn Danielsson When foreign jihadists solicit murder, a military response is appropriate.

Kevin North Islam is not a race, Islam is not a religion. Islam is a megalomaniacal socio-political doctrine not unlike Facism. It relies upon fear, hatred and a systemic supremecist ideology to spread around the world. Islam should be made illegal in every civilized country.

Jon Dear Unless we stand together, the freedoms we inherited will be lost to this cult that threatens murder at every opportunity.

Andreas E. Islam: the new nazism

Josef Fransson Islam = Nazism & kommunism

Stewart C. Sawyer Protect your rights, OUTLAW ISLAM!!!!!

Marcus Eriksson Stop taking the "lesser" muslims side by calling them victims! This is an open declaration of war on free speech, democracy and our economy!

Julius Balogh This Swedish CITIZEN needs his rights protected from these foreign terrorists. When will the government protect its own people? Defend Swedes from islamic immigrants who seek to overthrow your nation using your own laws against you. Outlaw islam today and send home all muslims to their homelands. All other religions are outlawed so why do we tolerate seditionist islam in our borders? Islam is a political cult posing as a religion.
