Wes Clark--Listening to a rebroadcast of a speech on CSPAN now

[Skidmore]

I wish he were president now. This is a bright man. I'm beginning to think we are going to need a man like him with the knowledge of how to rebuild nations to rebuild our relationships in the world. And we are going to need someone with a knowledge of the military to repair the damage done to it by these chickenhawks. I am no fan of war and would like to see the world at total peace. But I realize that we are human and that a military is needed. Too bad we built such sophisticated weaponry that it necessitated a standing army, not the military that pretty much disbanded following conflict that used to exist.
