An interesting comment sent to General Clark in the last 2 hours...fyi... <<...FirstName: Richard LastName: Sciascia City: APO State: AE Date: 08/29/2003 Time: 11:45 AM Comments: General Clark, America does need a new president, and probably more importantly, it needs a new administration. On Army posts, I have heard "Remember, a vote for a democrat, is a vote against Rumsfeld". In todays paper, it was anounced that President Bush will limit the pay raise, yet again, for civil service employees. His reason being that with the cost of the war on terrorism, he can not afford the planned raise. Civil Service workers understand that, but wonder why the mere 10 billion saved there (on a projected deficit of 480 billion), is the only bill payer for the war. The morale is at an all time low, and the important work done by these individuals seems to be ignored, and even worse, not appreciated at all. Factor this with the plans by the administration to "out source" hundreds of thousands of positions that these dedictaed civilians accomplish. "Out source" being another way of saying more Haliburton type contracts that benefit not the country, but some party donors and CEOs of major corporations. This has to be stopped, and I believe you have the moral bearing and integrity to do what is right for the country, not private stockholders. Please run for president, your service is needed. Sincerely, Richard Sciascia...>> draftwesleyclark.com

The unfortunate fact is that many of our most powerful people in the military, law enforcement, legislative and executive branches of government have systematically bent and broken the law with near impunity. I don't agree....and none have raised it to an art form as Clinton did with the possible exception of Tricky Dick Nixon.....moreover...even if that was true it does not excuse Clinton's behavior as you noted nor does it excuse the actions of those who continue to present him as some sort of Constitutional hero....he's a lying scumbag....
