4. I would never blame the troops
My dad and I have met General Clark before in New Hampshire and New York, my dad is a Korean War Veteran and we would not ever insult General Clark by insinuating that the troops are to blame. Thanks for the concern though.

7. Tell him for me that we need him in government.
Cabinet, Senate, governorship, I don't care. He inspires a lot of people and is well-experienced and brilliant, and he also appeals to people on "the other side," AKA our fellow Americans -- just what we need and want. I'm still pissed that Kerry didn't choose him as a running mate.

Also tell him that he's a hottie.

8. Statement from General Wesley Clark on Giuliani Comments

Contact: Mark Kitchens of Kerry-Edwards 2004, 202-464-2800; Web: http://www.johnkerry.com

WASHINGTON, Oct. 28 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Gen. Wesley Clark (news - web sites) issued the following statement today: "For President Bush (news - web sites) to send Rudolph Giuliani out on television to say that the 'actual responsibility' for the failure to secure explosives lies with the troops is insulting and cowardly. "The President approved the mission and the priorities. Civilian leaders tell military leaders what to do. The military follows those orders and gets the job done. This was a failure of civilian leadership, first in not telling the troops to secure explosives and other dangerous materials, and second for not providing sufficient troops and sufficient equipment for troops to do the job. "President Bush sent our troops to war without sufficient body armor, without a sound plan and without sufficient forces to accomplish the mission. Our troops are performing a difficult mission with skill, bravery and determination. They deserve a commander in chief who supports them and understands that the buck stops in the Oval Office, not one who gets weak knees and shifts blame for his mistakes." ---

Note, imho, you should read his statement so you can ask a question he hasn't already answered and so we can get new information rather than a repeat of what he's already made public.

I'm jealous!! Wes Clark is such a great guy. I really admire the way he got behind Kerry after the primaries and love what he's saying.
