Wesley Clark: No case for war
Wesley Clark: No case for war



Wesley Clark examines the President's case for the Iraq war on FOX. The phony debate that without the WMD hype, there still was a cause for war is nonsense.

1. Man, he was really saying some GREAT stuff!!!
DESPITE the fucking host who kept pushing the same tired old arguments. Wes handled himself VERY well, as usual. Brilliantly actually. The one good thing is he's very steady, even keeled, and very convincing, and the freeptards who watch FAUX at least get a chance to hear some truth. I think if he runs again, his FAUX exposure will really help him...and us.

Thanks for posting it.

2. Thanks for posting
I never watch Fox for any reason, so I'm glad you posted the link.
He's a good man.

( Now back to watching ESPN and my Sooners )

3. Thank you very much.
That's my guy!

That FAUX idiot is such a moronic fuckwad. It's a wonder that someone with Wes's brains even has the patience to talk to people like that.

drawn off guard by the blathering talking points idiot. Thanks very much for that. My trips to Fox are very few and far between - actually only if I know in advance Wes Clark is on.

Clark is absolutely resolute in the Truth. Go Wes!

8. Ah, I understand now. Democracy is a virus.
I can just imagine Agent Smith from The Matrix saying that.

That FoxBot is a gigantic douche. "Let's not ignore what's going right!"

Well, when there's 700 things going wrong for every one thing going right, ignoring is pretty easy to do. We've given Iraq thirty 9/11's of their own to avenge, and we somehow wonder why there's an insurgency.

9. It seemed to me that Wes was laughing at this jerky interviewer...
his spin was so obvious that Wes seemed to be suppressing a very big smile at the very least.

BTW--Buzzflash links to this video with the headline: Video: Wesley Clark Says No Case for War 12/30

Am THRILLED to see a Clark headline at Buzzflash. I've been sending along links and discussion about what Wes has been saying when I send in my World Media Watch. Wes needs a lot more exposure...

16. Thank you for doing that, Gloria!
I agree... Wes does need more exposure. And BuzzFlash is a great place for him to get it!

10. Wes Clark fans need to encourage him to get out there. I
haven't even watched the video, but you guys are series!!!
In all seriousness, he needs to be out and
about more, not just on Fox. I know it's tough
to get exposure.

15. I was told, but don't know if it is true first-hand...
that the other media outlets are not booking him, and that's why he's not been "out and about" more. Maybe there are entities that don't want him talking up peace in a big way? Maybe Joe Biden's bookers are sucking up all the oxygen in the room. Dunno.

But, I agree with you.

18. Wes Clark is under contract with Fox until
May or June. He cannot appear on other networks until his contract ends. He blogged the iformation on his site. He said we need to reach out to the other side, as many who watch Fox, are not die hard Republicans. I personally know many, who are Dems or middle of the road, who are uninformed politically who think Fox is the media to watch...UGH. Just wait til his contract expires, he will be everywhere.
