Angelinos: Wes Clark At UCLA Today

[tishaLA]

Wesley Clark, a retired four-star Army general and contender for the 2004 Democratic presidential nomination, will come to Dodd Hall today to discuss and sign his newly released book “A Time to Lead: For Duty, Honor, and Country”.

Clark plans to discuss his experiences in Vietnam, the Kosovo War and his tenure both with the Department of Defense and NATO, said Elizabeth Kivowitz, a university spokeswoman.

Last year, Clark became a senior fellow at UCLA’s Burkle Center for International Relations, which is organizing the event. Since then, he has spoken several times on campus and helped put together a conference on nuclear weapons.

Kivowitz also said Clark may discuss the current situation in Iraq, including the debate on the role of private security companies and contractors in the war.

“He has a lot to say about Iraq ... He can talk about Blackwater, Congressional legislation and what the next best steps in Iraq are,” Kivowitz said. “He’s very open to speaking about all that. He wants to engage students.” <...>

1. Tell him we desperately need to hear more from him on MSM.

Hopefully if he's touring a book, we will see him on the Sunday shows.

2. I wish I could be there.

I hope someone asks him about his latest comment backing Clinton's Iran votes. I'd like to hear directly from him why he backed her on that.
