2. you know, i really like Wesley
and what's some of this crap I hear that Dems shy away from military folks for president?? Came across some of that blather last week.

Kennedy?? WW2 hero. Carter?? Naval Academy and served on a nuke sub fer cryin' out loud. McGovern? WW2 hero. Gore? 'Nam. Kerry? 'Nam. And a lot of our Dems in the Senate served as well. Dems ain't the chickenhawks...

Wesley Clark? BRING HIM ON!!!

7. Dems don't shy away from military people for president
I think they shy away from people who were Generals. The last Gen./President we had if I am not mistaken was Eisenhower. I am not saying Clark would be good or bad, I don't know enough about him to say one way or the other. I would like to see him in the mix though.

3. tidbit
How about:

"There was a hunger in some quarters to go after this fight. It was as though using force was a reward in itself, that, by putting our forces in there and showing our power, we would somehow solve our problems in the international environment. And I think the opposite is the truth. I think you should use force only as a last resort."

6. And Clark can say that, say it well, and not be lableled 'soft'
as a result. This is the guy who has what it takes to break Bush.
