Wes Clark does General Smackdown of two neocons--watch and cheer!

[xkenx]

Lawrence Kudlow made the mistake of having Wes Clark on his show yesterday (maybe he had to because of Clark's contract with NBC) along with neocon Jed Babbin. The discussion was mostly about Iran. It wasn't really fair, with Clark taking on only two neocon nutcases. General Clark issued General Smackdown. Kudlow and Babbin didn't know what hit them; they were so nonplussed they were forced by Clark's submission hold into mostly having to listen to Clark's logic and brilliance. They even tried to call Clark insane for advocating diplomacy, and tried to accuse him about not knowing anything about air strikes (Kosovo anyone?) Clark squashed them like the bugs that they are. http://securingamerica.com/node/2530 Read the transcript and see the video here.

Who better equipped to take it to the Rethugs in 2008?
2008 is all about flipping a few red states into our column. Wes Clark is a progressive wolf in military uniform sheep's clothing. Many Republicans who didn't care for Bush, still couldn't vote for Kerry. Clark was the only Dem. they could consider. Clark has had more EXECUTIVE leadership roles than any Senator by virtue of his military commands where he had responsibility for the lives of hundreds of thousands of servicepeople and their dependents--the whole range of housing, education, training, healthcare, social services, sometimes in a dangerous spot. When Clark was Supreme Allied Commander Europe (Eisenhower's last military position), he had "Head-of-State" status, meaning that he dealt directly with prime ministers/presidents, not underlings. And Clark was virtually the only voice urging help for Rwanda. And Clark and Madeleine Albright were the ones who convinced Clinton to take action against the ethnic cleansing in the Balkans, where Clark carried out the military action w/o the loss of a single American life. In this he stood up to the Pentagon brass who wanted nothing to do with "saving Albanians." And it was Clark who served for more than 30 years AFTER getting shot up and winning hero medals in Vietnam, when he could have gone for the big bucks in private industry. Try Swift Boating this guy--the smackdown will be heard around the world. Clark is all about duty, honor, country. When Clark's American Dream/American Hero story gets out to middle America, watch how many red states flip. And the beauty of Wes Clark is that HE IS A REAL LIVE D-E-M-O-C-R-A-T, with a progressive agenda equal to anyone. And when Wes Clark debates the Rethug nominee, he can say, "You supported Bush in his Iraq fiasco. I knew what was going on beforehand and testified to Congress before the IWR against such a blank check.(unkike HRC and IWR co-sponsor John Edwards). In fact I was chastised by neocons for being so cautious. My whole professional life has been about a multi-faceted approach to international relations, with war only, only, only as a last resort." THIS, FOLKS, IS THE DEMOCRAT WHO CAN TAKE IT TO THE RETHUGS ON THEIR TURF, AND WHUP THEIR ASSES.
