there are those who have this vision of military men...and that's all there is to it...nothing you say will change it...there are also those who WILL misunderstand anything he says....why?....because they want to, and they have to...and because for some reason, they need too...understanding that a military man, who has seen combat, has been wounded, and WOULD NEVER HAVE GOTTEN US INTO IRAQ in the first place....means nothing...that the man has the guts to say what needs to be said, means nothing...why??? because some can't allow him to make sense...because if they do, it ruins their argument against him...

We ALL know Bush never went to war...while Clark was serving and being shot at, and wounded...Bush was being wounded by cocaine and booze, which is, after all, not quite the same...The rich man's kid who escaped the disaster that WAS Vietnam...so now he's fucked up big time in Iraq, because he had NO experience, at anything but playing big man on campus..and now no one wants to take the word of a man who's been there, and done that, as to how to fix it...because Bush has caused so much death and destruction to our own forces, and Iraqi's, that we are tired and want our troops home right now, damn it, right now...walk out, forget we caused that mess..but what DOES it say about us, as Americans, if we just walk away, after CAUSING this human disaster that is Iraq???

Then I suppose the next thing to remember, is that Clark puts his ass on the line all the time, to try to find a solution to the problem, which is a hell of a lot more than some of those who helped create the problem are doing...so I guess it's normal, that he will take some criticism for it...I just get tired of listening to the sos all the time...
