GENERAL CLARK PRAISED CONDI, POWELL, RUMSFELD AND BUSH: 'WE NEED THEM THERE'

**World Exclusive**

Democratic presidential hopeful General Wesley Clark offered lavish praise for the Bush Administration and its key players in a speech to Republicans -- just two years ago, the DRUDGE REPORT can reveal!

During extended remarks delivered at the Pulaski County GOP Lincoln Day Dinner in Little Rock, Arkansas on May 11, 2001, General Clark declared: "And I'm very glad we've got the great team in office, men like Colin Powell, Don Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney, Condoleezza Rice, Paul O'Neill - people I know very well - our president George W. Bush. We need them there."

Clark praised Reagan for improving the military:

"We were really helped when President Ronald Reagan came in. I remember non-commissioned officers who were going to retire and they re-enlisted because they believed in President Reagan."

Clark continued: "That's the kind of President Ronald Reagan was. He helped our country win the Cold War. He put it behind us in a way no one ever believed would be possible. He was truly a great American leader. And those of us in the Armed Forces loved him, respected him, and tremendously admired him for his great leadership."

Clark on President George Bush: "President George Bush had the courage and the vision... and we will always be grateful to President George Bush for that tremendous leadership and statesmanship."

Wesley Clark is a Trojan horse candidate. We must not allow him anywhere near our ticket next year. Period.

3. If This "Issue" Lingers At All

I am confident Clark can get some heavy-hitters, up to and including the Clintons, to vouch for his Democratic bona fides.

See, that wouldn't be an endorsement; it would be a correction of the record, of information designed to mislead and divide.

Clark has voted Democrat since Clinton, and he has donated to and supported Democrats like Erskine Bowles and legislator(s) in New Hampshire. He is liberal on all of the issues. He's one of us. I'm actually glad he's tolerant and inclusive enough not to treat all Republicans like the Anti-Christ.
