Steve Clemons' "Real State of U.S. Foreign Policy Forum"

[CarolNYC]

This looks like an interesting conference...and they picked a great keynote speaker. ;)

From Clemons' The Washington Note:

General Wesley Clark to Keynote "Real State of U.S. Foreign Policy Forum" the Day Before Bush's State of the Union Address

General Wesley Clark is going to keynote a conference my New America Foundation team and I are putting together on the Real State of U.S. Foreign Policy 2006, and this will take place on Monday, January 30th in the Senate (Senate Dirksen G-50) from 9 a.m. until 1:45 p.m.

General Clark's speech, "The Real State of the Union: A No Nonsense Discussion America's Foreign Policy and a Call to Action" will start at 12:15 p.m.
......

President Bush, as you know, will be providing his own views on America's foreign and domestic policy state of affairs in his State of the Union address on Tuesday night. So, General Clark's commentary will perhaps be of interest to the White House and the public.
......

And yes, I will ask General Clark what a courageous and visionary President in these times should do with Iran. . .and Iraq.

3. Love the timing, wish I could be there. Hope the media covers it. n/t

6. The media cover a Wes Clark speech?

Now, why would they do that? That would show that their "he's not ready for primetime" meme was nothing more than bullshit. Now, we couldn't have that, could we? :shrug:

[Totally Committed]

4. That's SUPER!

The timing couldn't be better. Maybe C-SPAN will cover it. I doubt the MSM will.

Go, Wes!

5. Well, Steve says he's trying to get C-Span there...

but they won't let him know until Friday...Write to them and ask them to cover the whole conference....especially the "real" SOTU address. :)
