Wesley Clark Quotes Liberal Hall of Shame
The
Manumitter Daily “If you don’t think John McCain is just as dangerous in the White House as George W. Bush, think again.” That’s how retired four-star General Wesley Clark begins a fundraising e-mail sent on behalf of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. “McCain will not reverse the foreign policy mistakes of George Bush. He is content to leave us in Iraq, saying it’d be ‘fine by me’ if we were in Iraq for another 100 years. He is rash on using military force with Iran. He overplays the military card and doesn’t seem to appreciate that the real strength of the nation lies in our economy and in our values.” “We can’t just triumph over John McCain in the race for the White House. We must defeat every Republican senator who supports Bush and McCain and believes in continuing a war that 64 percent of the American people are vehemently against.” Clark accuses McCain and fellow Republicans of turning the threat of terrorism into “a rallying cry for military adventurism.” He concludes: “John McCain and any Republican senator who supports his presidential candidacy are offering more of the same. And they have got to go.” Wes Clark: McCain As Dangerous As Bush
Former Supreme NATO commander Gen. Wesley Clark described the looming Iraq war as “inevitable” but “like elective surgery” during an interview on Meet the Press Sunday. “This will put us in a colonial position in the Middle East – a huge change for the United States,” Clark said. “I haven’t yet even declared a party,” Clark said. “It would be hard to declare as a Republican because that’s where my problems are.” Wesley Clark: Iraq War 'Like Elective Surgery' NewsMax

(CNN) -- Retired U.S. Gen. Wesley Clark, a supporter of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, on Sunday questioned whether Sen. John McCain's military experience qualified him to be commander-in-chief. In the interview, Clark said McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee, was "untested and untried." "Well, I don't think riding in a fighter plane and getting shot down is a qualification to be president," Clark said. updated 10:18 p.m. EDT, Sun June 29, 2008
