Retired Army General Wesley Clark said he's days away from announcing whether he's going to run for president.

At his half-hour speech to one-thousand Democrats in Knoxville, Clark -- who recently declared himself a Democrat -- launched into an attack on President Bush.

Clark says the commander in chief's number one responsibility is the safety and security of the US.

Clark questioned the administration's efforts to avoid the September eleventh, 2001 terrorist attacks.

Clark also charged the Bush administration with "slow investigations" and "shenanigans" in response to September eleventh.

The 58-year-old Clark headed the US Southern Command and was NATO commander during the 1999 campaign in Kosovo.

He said his 34 years in the military taught him that "the highest calling of the armed forces is not to wage war, but to prevent war."
