Clark, get with the bipartisan chorus and just say....."Iran is a threat! We will not allow them to have nukes....and if they even act like they will, we will bomb them!"

I also noticed that all of the Democrats and many of the Repugs are now parroting his line...."let's talk to Iran and Syria"....but of course, he gets no credit! :eyes:

We're going to have a challenge with Iran. Let's face it, but let's talk before we use force on Iran.

March 5, 2006
GENERAL WESLEY CLARK: Well, maybe we will need tough sanctions later on. But before any of that happens…years ago we should have talked to Iran, and it's not too late right now.

George Stephanopoulos: Directly.

GENERAL WESLEY CLARK: Directly to Iran. The Iranian state is not unified. There are differences of opinion in Iran, but rather that passing a $75 million Iranian Liberation Act funding proposal, why don't we just talk to the Iranian leadership and see if there's not a way
