ALERT: General Clark will be live blogging at the Clark Community Network

[Tom Rinaldo]

I apologize if this has already been posted. I did look around first:

Here is an announcement that was posted at CCN today. Clark takes these live blogging sessions seriously, he does NOT just post and run:



"General Clark will be live blogging at the Clark Community Network (http://www.securingamerica.com/ccn ) on Friday, July 14 @ 3 PM EST / 2PM CST


Please join us tomorrow here at CCN where General Clark will be live blogging at 2pm Central time!


The focus will be on current events and General Clark's efforts to help take back Congress for the Democrats in 2006, so it is a perfect opportunity to hear his thoughts on these top issues. Please join us tomorrow!


We currently have new users set to be able to login and comment right away. So invite everyone to come talk with General Clark."

3. Drat - a coworker is going to be on vacation and I'm having

to do my job and hers too.

But, it's Friday. It may be slow. I'm going to try to be there.

Thanks, Tom!

4. What will your question be?

I've been thinking about this. I would rather ask him about something other than foreign policy; however, the world is about to explode.

5. Folks really need to be appreciative of Wes Clark, cause

We might just "need" a Democratic General to get us out of this one before it's over!

9. Outstanding!!

Lots going on in the world. Lots to ask him about.

[Donna Zen]

10. Too much going on in the world

The world could do with a vacation from this mess. Currently all I see is rotten leadership moving in the wrong direction.

So...what will we ask the General?

11. Kick for the morning crowd

12. Wes was just on with Stephanie Miller and was EXCELLENT!

Did anyone else hear him? He is so right-on about everything happening now being a sign of a failed Bush Foreign Policy. He defended Bill Clinton's Foreign Policy vis a vie N. Korea as well, and managed even to talk a bit about the importance of the '06 elections. For a 5-minute interview, it was packed and OUTSTANDING!

13. Did he mention the ME?

The current escalating conflict is very difficult to discuss. It starts fights among normally like-minded people.

I'm thinking about how to frame a question for him this afternoon: "PNAC believed that peace ran through Baghdad as opposed to Jeruselum. Can we now conclude that actually "war" is what traveled that road?"

Damnit! I really want to ask the General about the environment or education or a million non-war related things, but war is all we've got.

14. He did...

he said that the Bush administration started this whole mess with the "Axis of Evil" proclamation... undermined having meaningful talks with EITHER Iran or N. Korea. Said that the Iran part destabilized the ME further as US diplomacy is now handicapped in that region by not only the Iraq occupation, but also this proclamation which took away our status as an honest broker there.

He was really good, Donna!

15. He was also on a St Louis station

Caught a bit of it . Though I started it in mid-interview, I got a bit recorded..... wil post somewhere a little later.

WKC rocked! Q&A from callers!

16. And, of course, as the time draws near

The sky is turning dark and I have lightning ahead :(

Wahhh :cry:

[Totally Committed]

17. Awwwwww.....

I'm sorry about that. It's been so stormy here, too, but today is beautiful. I really hope you get to participate a little bit! I'll be htere, reading the whole thing.

18. For what it's worth....

We're having perfect weather here, but might as well be storming. I'm at the General's blog, but I can't get it to refresh--just the message at the bottom of the page (in firefox), "Waiting for securingamerica.com..." Not being very technical, I may be wrong, but it appears that there may be too many participants or rather not enough bandwidth to handle them all. Everything else is working for me just fine, or as good as it ever does on dial-up, so I don't think the problem is on my end.

[Totally Committed]

19. Is securingamerica.com down for anyone else?

I haven't been able to get on because I keep getting a "Cannot Find Server" error.

Anyone else?

20. I was having problems, but not now n/t

21. Thanks, Jai...

I'll try again! :hi:

22. Well, the General went from blogging at CCN to blogging on dKos

And then kos went down. Shit.

[Adelante]

23. kos is back up

Here is Wes's thread:

[FrenchieCat]

24. Kos is back up....but the General is gone!

Funny how Fox is not asking him on! mmmmm....mmmmmm.....

Additionally, Nora Donnell (GOP Pundit Tool) was just on Hardball playing Lovey Dovey with McCain......

You should have seen the look on her face when she was asking him about his scheduled week-end in Iowa! She was just a smiling and a giggling! It was indecent!

Anyways, Democrats have a long go to hoe!

[Adelante]

25. He always puts Gert ahead of me

:shrug:

[FrenchieCat]

26. after 40 years on the job, guess she has seniority.....

Non?

[Texas_Kat]

27. Clark is on Fox on Saturday, Sunday and Monday....

Check the Securing America homepage for details under Events (left column halfway down the page).

[FrenchieCat]

28. Bout time......guess Fox had to get all of their talking points BEFORE

having Wes on. Otherwise, they would have no answers to how could Bush fuck up so much and so many times!

The world is burning, and we need some damn answers. Can't wait to see Wes on those days!

[Totally Committed]

29. Another great Clark thread for those interested:

Clark: "Don't let Bush and Co. off the hook!"
