My instinct tells me that Clark will fade out into oblivion before the primaries. Methinks, he is a Republican who does not have any principles. Isn't it intetresting that Clark has no stated views on anything, yet he's already, in a week, the frontrunner Wise guy, Just go back four/five years and rephrase that sentence after changing "Clark" to "Bush". Then try that rhetorical question on yourself. Chimp was the frontrunner, long before he opened his choreographed mouth (thanks Karen Hughes). Ah I forget again, he opened his mouth to ooze that compassionate conservatism, besides being able naming "that general who is good for pakistan" (LOL) and some other countries outside of Texas.

Well I took a look at Wes Clark. OK the guy is a Nato Supreme commander, Oxford grad, West point grad #1 in his class, purple heart, 4 star general .... and he is good looking!!! I avoid men like this at ALL COSTS. This guy is trouble. Give me a fat slob, I feel more comfortable around those.

Who is Wes Clark? GOP General Clark WSJ, 9/26/03, Review & Outlook online.wsj.com If you're an active Republican, there's a good chance you've attended a Lincoln Day dinner, a staple on GOP community calendars. So it is in Little Rock, Arkansas, where the Pulaski County Republican Party invited hometown hero Wesley Clark to address its members on May 11, 2001. Anyone wondering where the Democratic candidate for President stands on a range of issues is sure to find the speech illuminating. Lincoln Day dinners are partisan political events and it was entirely in keeping with the spirit of the evening for the keynote speaker to voice his admiration of Republican leaders. In Mr. Clark's words, Ronald Reagan was "truly a great American leader," who "helped our country win the Cold War." His successor, George Bush, demonstrated "courage" and "vision" in postwar Europe, exercising "tremendous leadership and statesmanship." The general also sang the praises of the current GOP leadership in Washington: "I'm very glad we've got the great team in office, men like Colin Powell, Don Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney, Condoleezza Rice, Paul O'Neill -- people I know very well -- our President George W. Bush. We need them there, because we've got some tough challenges ahead in Europe." The speech also provides a look at the general's thinking on the foreign-policy and national-security challenges facing the country. Mr. Clark offered "a small prediction" that by the time his book came out (as it did in August 2002) "it may be World War III." He expressed the view that: "We're going to be active; we're going to be forward engaged. But if you look around the world, there's a lot of work to be done." Mr. Clark was asked about those remarks at yesterday's Democratic debate, and he replied that the country had made "an incredible journey" since September 2001 and that Mr. Bush had "recklessly cut taxes" and "recklessly took us into Iraq." We'd say the retired general has made a rather astonishing journey himself, and the public will have to judge the sincerity of his conversion. Updated September 26, 2003
