Clark Assails Bush Iraq Taunts
From Associated Press

NASHUA, N.H. — Criticizing President Bush for challenging enemy forces in
Iraq to "bring 'em on" in July, Democratic presidential candidate Wesley K.
Clark said Thursday that only someone who had not witnessed combat
"would ever say anything as fatuous" as the commander in chief's remark.

"You don't make policy by taunting the enemy," said Clark, a retired Army
general who was wounded during the Vietnam War. Bush was a pilot in the
Texas Air National Guard during the conflict but never flew in battle. "Only
someone who hasn't seen war firsthand would ever say anything as fatuous as
'bring 'em on,' " Clark said in a stop at Daniel Webster College.

Offering himself as the
best candidate to
oppose Bush, Clark said
Democrats needed a
candidate who could
balance force with
diplomacy. He called the
Bush administration "all
bully and no pulpit."
