Nordlinger in NRO on Clark. On the subject of Halliburton: When the story of overcharging for gas arose, Wesley Clark said the following: that the president is "more concerned about the success of Halliburton than having a success strategy in Iraq." Now, I'm not naïve about politics — I know that rhetoric is excessive in campaigns. But even so, shouldn't something like this Clark statement be disqualifying? I mean, how is it possible to take seriously a man who says that Bush is "more concerned about the success of Halliburton than having a success strategy in Iraq"? That amounts to a charge of treason. It is also demented. Even if you think that Bush is dead-wrong on the war — on the War on Terror in general, and on the Iraq effort in particular — surely you can see that he believes in it, that he believes that the war is necessary for American security, and for the peace and stability of the world. I am continually amazed that people who make statements such as Clark has made can continue on in public life, as though they had done nothing at all. nationalreview.com
