Who'll Stop the Rain?
Wesley Clark speaks about issues, the 2004 presidential election -- and 2008.
snip>
You impressed a lot of people during the primary season, everybody, it seemed, except the national media, which never got your best efforts on the front burner. Would you say that's true?
I think it is true. There were times I got no coverage at all. Why, I don't know. But I really enjoyed the ride. I really believe in public service, and I was honored to have the support of so many people who spoke out and encouraged me to get into the race. I intend to keep speaking out.

What specifically impelled you to get into the race?
I believed the nation was being misled by the administration, especially in its actions with regard to U.S. security, both at home and abroad, and I felt I had relevant skills and experience to bring to bear on that. Before 9/11, President Bush did not do enough to keep us safe. I think the record is clear now that if we had had strong leadership in the White House, 9/11 might have been prevented.

Given that former anti-terrorism czar Richard Clarke and other insiders communicated evidence to that effect during the campaign year, why do you think it fell on deaf ears?
I think that this falls into the area of political communication and how effective the respective political parties are in putting out a message. I think the message was not communicated strongly enough, or soon enough, to be able to penetrate or deeply enough to shake the impression that the president was a strong leader who would be the best person to keep the country safe.

Read the rest--many more topics covered including questions answered about the Kerry campaign......

10. Clark's masterful but subtle General smackdown of Rice.....

His comments on Rice were "scary smart" hilarious.

"She is a well known figure... know her strengths and her PROCLIVITIES!"

Go Clark! Master of smackdowns!

23. Hmmmphhhh...

You impressed a lot of people during the primary season, everybody, it seemed, except the national media, which never got your best efforts on the front burner. Would you say that's true?
I think it is true. There were times I got no coverage at all. Why, I don't know. But I really enjoyed the ride. I really believe in public service, and I was honored to have the support of so many people who spoke out and encouraged me to get into the race. I intend to keep speaking out.

I remember our illustrious news media covering him in Oklahoma - NOT. The only thing those asses did was cover his driver's speeding ticket.
That was the final straw, I think, for me. I was, naturally, accustommed to defend my former profession, but their behavior during the primaries was pitiful.
Their bosses didn't want Clark because Clark would have kicked Shrub's tail from the Tennessee valley to the bosom of Lady Liberty - pure and simple.

Thanks for posting this Frenchie - even though I'm still both angry and saddened by the press's treatment of Clark.
