I don't know why, but I never knew that much about Wesley Clark until recently. I did follow some of the news about the Kosovo campaign, but I just don't seem to remember Clark's name in the news all that much back then. To me, it seemed like the news was all about President Clinton. I remember being kindof in favor of our intervention, but thinking we'd have to go in with ground troops someday (and we did of course, after the "war" was over, and they're still there - peacekeeping). Funny that I didn't hear Democrat voices complaining about the "quagmire" we were getting ourselves into back then.
Jonah Goldberg says his opinion about Presidential candidate Clark in this opinion piece, Clark boomlet ignores issues, ideology. I think he describes the Democrat hype pretty well. Just beat Bush, at any cost, no matter if the candidate who beats him has no vision, qualifications, or character for the job. The more I read about Clark, the more I agree with this opinion by Richard Brookhiser; Clark is just another McClellan. To which I add that President Bush could be another Lincoln. War-wise, I think he nails it. Now I'd like to see him take a Republican-like stand for human rights for those whom Democrats think are less than human, namely the unborn. I'm not demanding that he end all abortions now; I don't think that's possible. But I would like to see the discussion move toward putting some common sense restrictions and regulation on the industry. Parental notification laws at least - denying that has got to be one of the most family-hostile acts by our courts.
