Reply #34: Clark Is One Of Two Candidates Capable Of Dealing With PNAC [View All]

[KittyWampus]

Here are some quotes from Clark who is eminently capable of reforming the Pentagon budget and dealing with the PNAC'ers.

Please feel free to compare and contrast with Dean, who knows NOONE in the Military or the Military Industrial Complex and has no clue who can be worked with and who is dangerous and who has shown no inkling whatsoever to even tackle the issue.

1.General Clark said his domestic priorities would include health insurance and rolling back parts of Mr. Bush's
tax cuts. "I don't see why we can't have health insurance for every single American," he said.
Asked how he would pay for it, General Clark said he was open to some cuts in the budget he is more
familiar with — the Pentagon's. "The armed forces are a want machine," he said. "They are structured to
develop want."

2.In a searing critique, Clark accuses the Bush administration of carrying out a wrenching turn in U.S. foreign
policy away from traditional American principles. He cites what he says has been an overemphasis on
unilateralism and overreliance on the U.S. military to pursue the notion of "a new American empire."


By the way, what does your "sixth sense" tell you about DEAN'S UNWILLINGNESS TO CUT PENTAGON SPENDING AND HIS USE OF THE "WAR ON TERRORISM AS AN EXCUSE?

Very PNAC of him if you ask me... unless he is afraid of called "weak on defense" especially since he never served.

The facts are:

1. TRILLIONS are missing from the Pentagon. There is no way that their budget can be justified in light of this fact. If Dean were truly willing to take on the Cabal, why won't he cut their spending?

2. The "War on Terrorism" is here at home where we need to fund our FIRST RESPONDERS and INTELLIGENCE ... NOT THE PENTAGON. Only PNAC'ers want to "kick terrorist ass" over there as opposed to fighting it here on home turf. Kicking terrorist ass in Iraq only serves to gets Halliburton large amounts of money.
