Editorial: Draft Clark? ______________________________ August 22, 2003 Wesley Clark talks like a candidate, acts like a candidate and, by Labor Day, he may be a candidate. The retired Army general is inching ever closer to joining the race for the 2004 Democratic presidential nomination. "Draft Clark" committees are independently raising money, running ads and organizing volunteers. Some party regulars want him to run. He's a ferocious critic of President Bush on the war on Iraq, and with his military credentials — NATO commander during the Balkans bombing campaign — his critique has credibility. On CNN's Late Edition — part of acting like a candidate — he said Bush went into Iraq under "false pretenses" and now the nation has no choice but to follow through, even though America is "more vulnerable, more committed, less able to respond." His positions on other issues are carefully hedged — part of talking like a candidate. Having grown up in Little Rock and gone on to be a Rhodes scholar, he bears comparison with another Arkansas native who went on to high office. At age 58 and after 34 years in the military and four as an investment banker, Clark is a political novice. But the race could use a fresh face and a new perspective because, frankly, the nine candidates now in the hunt haven't exactly set the world on fire. The candidate who most excites Democrats — Hillary Clinton — insists she's not running. And if this race doesn't work out for him, there's always 2008. A lot of American presidents had at least one unsuccessful race under their belt. Welcome to the political wars, General. tcpalm.com

Hi Scott, If all the proponents of cutting the last 2 or 3 percent of the remaining old growth forests on our beautiful land would only look in the mirror and see the last of their "old growth" on their chins.. They would see.. when they shaved it off.. A wrinkled old face not worthy of saving... I would rather save the last of the "old growth" trees on our Planet than the last of the "old growth" on the chins of the exploitators in Washington DC and elsewhere... JMT, c
