Retired four-star general and former Democratic Presidential candidate Wesley Clark criticizes the course of U.S. foreign policy in the wake of September 11, 2001.
-----
Wesley Clark discusses "A Time to Lead."
Wesley Clark sought the presidency during the 2004 elections, seeking to bring a less hawkish perspective to the White House. After the campaign, Clark did not end his crusade for what he sees as a better America, one that supports his vision of a responsible foreign policy. He believes that hard work, leadership and determination will ultimately turn the country around. - The Commonwealth Club

The World for People who Think
Dude, wake up and smell the rotting roses. There comes a time to plant and weed and a time to trim and prepare for winter. You can't fix what isn't broken. Yes, some complain that it is and in need of a quick fix, but they are only fooling themselves as Mr. Clark here is well known to do. Those that control the show, like it just the way it is and have been busy accumulating hollow point bullets to put a stop to any that think otherwise when the curtain call time arrives.
The limelight is hard to let go of and some just can't do it, especially when they never realized they were part of the problem they complain about. Mr. Clark still doesn't realize the nature of the game he's been a part of. "Policy Coup"??? Hasn't he heard of the imperial presidency before? Does anyone really need a Rhodes scholarship to read the history of how this started under Lincoln? The seeds of destruction get planted long before the summer season begins. The 'bad seeds' have to be placed when no one is looking in the fall, after the last harvest has cleared the field and leaves the land barren from view.
He's been a useful idiot for most of his life, and continues to uphold that tradition after leaving 'active' service. Bravo!
