General Clark seems to feel mighty strongly that Bush's Iraq War is about to get messier than it already is; if that's possible. Clark terms Bush's "New Plan" as "Stay the Course Some More". He was all over the place the day of Bush's speech in an attempt to STOP THE MADNESS!
George Bush sure took a long time as the "Decider" to come up with this totally predictable and absolutely not new "Deja Vu"! How much are we paying him and his "advisors" to come up with "stuff" again? Cause I want my money back!!
Well, here's where the "Out of the Box" thinking General was, and what he had to say--
On Washington Post Radio - Listen to the clip or read the transcript
"If we believe that we can take each of these governments, diverse as the peoples are, and sweep away what's there and install democracy, then I think it's a, it's a, it's a fantasy. It- Democracy emerges from a society. It's not imposed on it."
Great Quote and loved the way he put the Bush Iraq plan in words; a fantasy!
In addition, Wes appeared on the Fox O'Reilly Show; the Factor. Once in studio, the General nearly had to shout to be heard as he schooled the pupil host, who apparently suffers from ADD.
But Bill was very admiring of Wes, and told the General his greatest wish--
"I know. Alright, but let's fast forward...you're the Commander in Chief. You're in charge. You're the President."
Sounds real good to me too, Bill! I can't wait for 2008 either!
Here's what NewsHound had to say about Wes Clark's appearance:
"Wesley Clark Sucks The Hot Air From Bill O'Reilly"
On another front that the General had opened a few days ago....
the "Stop the Surge" Petition to clearly articulate American's displeasure with the "Stay the Course some More" Bush Fantasy is doing well, but it could certainly do even better. Sign it, if you haven't already! It activates an email in your name to the White House, and you will even get a "response"!
Meanwhile the General attacked from the rear left flank......
Clark was instrumental at a press conference with the Congressional Democratic Leadership. Read about that here
And to make sure that his voice is heard.....
He'll be doing a couple more radio interviews tomorrow, so heads up!
1/11/07 - Wes Clark on Air America Thursday, 1/11 @ 8:00 PM EST/7:00 PM CST
1/11/07 - Wes Clark on Washington Post Radio Thursday, 1/11 @ 8:00 AM EST/7:00 AM CST
Of course, in addition to all of this, Clark recently wrote that outstanding Op-Ed that I discussed a day or so ago - http://www.rapidfire-silverbullets.com/war_in_iraq_2007_to_current/
Keep on fighting General Clark! Me, I'm going nite-nite!
