Reply #168: How is it that you missed the obvious?

You keep attacking Clark because of a statement he made was taken out of context - the same tactic that Gillespie used.

FactCheck

But Gillespie gives only selective excerpts of Clark ’s testimony to the House Armed Services Committee Sept. 26, 2002 . Actually, Clark repeatedly urged patience and diplomacy, criticized the Bush administration for undercutting "friends and allies" and said “I think it's not time yet to use force against Iraq .”

Don't take our word for it: Pentagon adviser Richard Perle, a strong supporter of going to war, testified with Clark at the same hearing and said, “I think Gen. Clark doesn’t want to see us use military force . . . . The bottom line is he just doesn’t want to take action. He wants to wait.”

Analysis

Gillespie's attack on Clark is a classic case of ripping quotes out of their full context in order to create a false picture.

Perhaps Al Gore actually DID invent the Internets .... (forget those guys over in Bern).

BTW, I used the internet before it was the Web.... yes, that same one created by DARPA ... so I know the whole story. I like my informtion IN context, thank you.
