He's an Economics Major. He use to teach Econmics at West Point after he served in Vietnam. He graduated 1st in his class at West Point. He's a Rhodes Scholar. He was Supreme Allied Commander of Nato and led a coalition of 19 countries. He was in charge of the families of those who served under him. He was responsible for the children's schools, health care, food, ect...He's more than qualified to lead this country if something would happen to Kerry. Moreso than Edwards, IMCPO. Here...look at THIS. Pretty impressive.

How does General Wesley Clark compare to legendary West Point Generals? See for yourself.

Definitely one of the smartest generals in U.S. history.


AND here is a list of Ambassadors who endorsed him when he was running. THEY should know if he's qualified to lead a country I would think. ;)


Little Rock - Fifty-five former U.S. ambassadors and diplomats, women and men who have served in some 36 countries during the last four administrations, believe that Wesley K. Clark is the right choice to lead America at this critical time in the world.

"Serving as representatives of the United States has allowed each of us to meet with world leaders and see what terrific leadership looks like," said Cynthia Schneider, Ambassador to theNetherlands and co-chair of Ambassadors for Clark. "We know that the world is more interconnected than ever before, and so the impact of good and bad leadership impacts America and the world more than ever before. Wes Clark appreciates that and ambassadors understand the interconnectedness of the world and the critical need for a new leader to repair and strengthen our global ties."

"I am thrilled by the endorsement of those that have the respect of world leaders on every continent," Wesley Clark said. "They understand the importance of rebuilding America's alliances and restoring our country to a position of leadership based on cooperation and respect."


Ambassadors and Diplomats for Clark grew out of the unique phenomena of the Draft Wesley Clark movement. Not only did Wes Clark receive encouragement to run from thousands of individuals from across the U.S., the letters of support came from people, both U.S. citizens and citizens of many other nations, who understand that Wes Clark is the person we need to lead America at this crucial moment in history.
