I saw Wes Clark today.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

He spoke at a Vets for Kerry rally at the U. of Minn. law school. Totally blistered Shrub, and even though this was before the (yawn) Osama tape came out, what he said was absolutely accurate -- Shrub dropped the ball, went after Saddam instead. He described how only weeks after 9/11 his contacts at the Pentagon told him a "joke" to the effect that it was too bad Saddam didn't do it because there were plans to attack him anyhow. He also said Saddam was always like a copperhead in a box -- dangerous, but only if you stick your hand in the box. He seemed really pissed that they were trying to blame the troops for not securing the explosives. And there was another speaker who had been a Marine intelligence officer who confirmed that he had seen unsecured weapons sites but they had no orders to do anything with them - their mission was to topple Saddam and there were no plans for what happened after that. Great to see Clark again, he's doing a spectacular job campaigning for Kerry.

1. Go Clark! I'm glad he's on our side.

[high density]

2. General Clark is great

He always seems so genuine when he speaks.

[dogman]

3. He's been consistent for a long time now and time is proving him right.

He has spread the truth sinc I first saw him speak of the war.

4. Lucky you.

Thanks for the report.

I hope Clark continues to be as outspoken after the elections.
