I clearly did not say that the reasons "were not for the public" in the sense that the public could not understand them. I said that "they could not be articulated in public," something far different.

If you read the rest of my stuff, you'll know why I don't think they could be articulated.

Enough.

I don't plan on being cross-examined on what I meant when my meaning can be discerned by reading a series of posts which I took some time to prepare. These are boring games which I don't have the time or the inclination to pursue.

Statement from General Wesley Clark in Response to President Bush's Remarks Today

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27 /U.S. Newswire/ -- General Wesley Clark released the following statement today:

"Today George W. Bush made a very compelling and thoughtful argument for why he should not be reelected. In his own words, he told the American people that "...a political candidate who jumps to conclusions without knowing the facts is not a person you want as your Commander in Chief."

"President Bush couldn't be more right. He jumped to conclusions about any connection between Saddam Hussein and 911. He jumped to conclusions about weapons of mass destruction. He jumped to conclusions about the mission being accomplished. He jumped to conclusions about how we had enough troops on the ground to win the peace. And because he jumped to conclusions, terrorists and insurgents in Iraq may very well have their hands on powerful explosives to attack our troops, we are stuck in Iraq without a plan to win the peace, and Americans are less safe both at home and abroad."

"By doing all these things, he broke faith with our men and women in uniform. He has let them down. George W. Bush is unfit to be our Commander in Chief."
