"We have succeeded in destroying some Al Qaida forces, but many of its operatives have scattered, their will to kill Americans still strong. The United States has relied heavily on alliances with nearly 100 countries in a coalition against terror for critical intelligence to protect Americans from possible future attacks. Acting with the support of allies, including hopefully Arab and Muslim allies, would limit possible damage to that coalition and our anti-terrorism efforts. But as General Wes Clark, former Supreme Commander of Allied Forces in Europe has recently noted, a premature go-it-alone invasion of Iraq "would super-charge recruiting for Al Qaida."

1. He was murdered by the dark forces that we call neo-conservatives

Everything always seems to go thier way. I'm watching Dick Cheney talk about the dangers of fascism. Is there any doubt in my mind? No

2. from his floor speech

October 3, 2002.

"We should act forcefully, resolutely, sensibly with our allies, and not alone, to disarm Saddam. Authorizing the pre-emptive, go-it-alone use of force now, right in the midst of continuing efforts to enlist the world community to back a tough new disarmament resolution on Iraq, could be a costly mistake for our country."

We need Paul Wellstone, he is missed.

4. Our Night of the Long Knives

No more real opposition from the Democrats in Congress after that.

It's all about staying alive.

3. Thanks, Nancy - had seen this on the Clark blog

but wasn't sure if it needed to be shared. The topic of his stance on the war is kind of old. I know what his stance is/was but I guess I should be happy for one more piece of evidence to support my feelings.

5. Wellstone supports Clark's position that he's been against a unilateral

go-it-alone Iraqi invasion from the beginning. Paul was such a wonderful person. May he, his wife and daughter, and all the others who were "mysteriously" killed on that horrible day, RIP.

6. Wow this is an amazing quote. Thank you OKNancy.

Words from two great men. Both of them fought hard to prevent this "war."

7. That's great...I like being reassured about Clark

I really like him. :)
