>>>How was he Dishonest?<<<
We should say was and is.

"Can anything be more moving than the joyous throngs swarming the streets of Baghdad? Memories of the fall of the Berlin Wall, and the defeat of Milosevic in Belgrade flood back. Statues and images of Saddam are smashed and defiled. Liberation is at hand."
"Still, the immediate tasks at hand in Iraq cannot obscure the significance of the moment. The regime seems to have collapsed — the primary military objective — and with that accomplished, the defense ministers and generals, soldiers and airmen should take pride. American and Brits, working together, produced a lean plan, using only about a third of the ground combat power of the Gulf War. If the alternative to attacking in March with the equivalent of four divisions was to wait until late April to attack with five, they certainly made the right call."

"Clark was made privy and complicit in November, 2001. Amazingly, Clark now invites the reading public to step into the inner recesses of his mind. What we find there is cowardice in the face of power, boundless opportunism, and an infinite capacity for lying – a pathological mix. In sum, Wesley Clark is a dangerous loon, damned by his own words."

"anyone who pledges that, if elected, he will ensure the American people are never exposed to future terrorist incidents — including ones vastly more destructive than those that befell us 27 months ago — is sufficiently delusional or dishonest, or both, to be disqualified for the Oval Office."
"No one who held the sorts of senior positions in the U.S. military that General Clark did could be ignorant of an unpleasant truth: Even if America were a far less free and open society than it is today, we would still be vulnerable to murderous attacks by determined people willing to kill themselves in order to do us harm.
This reality renders dangerously misleading Clark's assertion that "nothing is going to hurt this country — not bioweapons, not a nuclear weapon, not a terrorist strike — there is nothing that can hurt us if we stay united and move together and have a vision for moving to the future the right way."

"Defense Secretary William Cohen and former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Hugh Shelton fired Clark.
At the time, no one said publicly why he was forced out. But two months ago, Shelton charged Clark was fired over “character and integrity issues."

Neither Cohen nor any other member of Clinton's staff has come forward to dispute Shelton's remarks. |
