"I think she's a rock. ... I think Senator Clinton is ready to lead. ... I think Senator Clinton is the total package." - General Wesley Clark
I'll wake up early on any day to talk to Wesley Clark.
Clark said this morning in a blogger conference call that Clinton has the "judgment, experience, does her homework to the full capacity" and he believes she should be president.
"She believes we should be withdrawing forces, so do I." - Wesley Clark
Clinton and Clark agree that diplomacy must be up front in the entire region. There will be no permanent presence in Iraq.
I asked what General Clark thought about Clinton, the first woman, being commander in chief. He said she was prepared, that she'd seen war torn countries, been to Bosnia, as well as Afghanistan, and that the troops would be "proud of their commander in chief."
On the question of his role in the campaign or whether he'd consider being vice president, Clark said nothing concrete has been discussed about his role and that the vice presidency is basically nothing he's contemplating right now.
This endorsement does not come as a surprise, but it is certainly a welcome one. Clark has been pushing, along with VoteVets.org, to stop any war with Iran, as well as end the Iraq war. He's a respected man among many who will vote in the primaries, and his prowess as a military man is unmatched.

You are our warriors for justice- first and foremost within our own country of which you have defended with your lives and personal sacrifics. Please come home - we desperately need you here, Our government has fallen apart !
if Wes Clark, who spearheaded the whole "Stop Iran War" campaign, is surrendering to the Hillary Eager-Cheerleader-for-WW3 camp, that means the attack on Iran is just around the corner.
Well, pardon me. I happen to be one of those 302 million that demand that the President do what he promised to do on Jan.20,2001 and again on Jan.20,2005. ..."to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States". Nowhere in that sworn oath did he promise to protect us from gang bangers, Tim McVeys or Osama Bin Laden. That happens to be why we have cops and GI's.
Seems like this Administration thinks defending the Constitution means putting on the government payroll such Constitutional experts as Monica Goodling, John Yoo and Alberto Gonzales. -Good job Gen. Clarke.
Let's start focusing on & preparing for November 2008.
Which is only to say that I'm declaring the
'Tag Team 2008' campaign officially over.
I want to thank all the little people for their
support, but our great idea was just too brilliant
to catch on with the voters, who always know best, sometimes.
I had long held hope that we would see a Gore/Clark ticket, but that doesn't seem to be possible...sigh.
But I will be happy with Clinton/Clark.
Clark has the experience to end the war. Plus, he is respected in the heartland. This is a strong ticket.
