Wes Clark in '08! Why Supporting someone who was Right on Iraq in 2002 makes sense.
First watch this Segment of Wes Clark on Charlie Rose dated September 23, 2002.
Watch here or here
As you clearly see and hear, General Clark was not for going into Iraq at the time, and felt that the U.N. should be totally involved, in addition to NATO....and that our priorities should have been getting Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaeda and working on strategies to fight a sensical war on terror utilizing our Allies as much as possible! In fact, the General clearly states towards the end of the Video, that a thorough Weapon Inspections program should be the goal, and it would most likely do the trick.
This video really tells the tale of the General's position on Iraq right prior to the IWR vote. He was definitely for the Levin Amendment to go the the UN and come back to congress for a vote....and since this was BEFORE the Resolutions existed, I'm sure that he was the one that provided the insight that led Sen. Levin to formulate the only Resolution that should have passed if congress would have been doing its job back in 2002.
Too bad that so many Senators and Representatives caved in and gave Pres. Bush a blank check instead!
If only we could turn back the hands of time, we could have avoided
the biggest strategic blunder known as Iraq, and if not, we could have,
at least, put Wesley Clark into the White House in 2004 as a minimum!
