Clark asks for criminal investigation of Bush!
The UK Telegraph has this article, and no one in the US media has touched it! Wesley Clark charges that Bush had plans for the Iraq war before coming to office, and used 9/11 to carry them out. Duh! Anyone with a computer can get those plans on PNAC's page.

This is one of the topics listed for discussion on TvNewsRadio live at noon ET. today. If you want to chime in - or hear what's going on with this....it should be a top story.

Noon to two. http://radio.TvNewsLies.org

Here's the article in the Telegraph

1. The Telegrpah
calls this a "high stakes" strategy. Who knows? All I know is that Clark just scored another brownie point with me.

2. How quickly times change.
Less than two years ago, most politicians were threatened and berated into rarely uttering an unkind word about Shrub.

Now, we have presidential candidates asking for resignations in the administration and a criminal inquiry into Shrub himself.

Keep it up, Dems!!

3. Finally, calling a spade a spade! Europe's finger's crossed!
The world want's to be rid of Bush, But the voice calling for the removal of the pResident has to be above partisan politics, hence, the voice of General Wesley Clark.....is being heard loud a clear, near and far, on the international stage!

Republican Ralph Reed chuckled, at the GOP fall meeting on Sunday 10/05, "Who would want to pass the baton of fighting the War on terror to those spineless Democrats?".....as Reed was framing one of the issues the GOP will argue during the president general election.

The Answer, poor Mr. Reed....is YES, pass the baton to the most qualified, i.e., General Wesley Clark.

11. Did Ralph Reed really say that?
I'd like to put my foot up his behind. Ugh. He's a whiny little orange-faced troll.

4. I like "investigation into possible "criminal" conduct in its drive to war
Bush should face an inquiry over Iraq war, says general
By David Rennie in Washington
(Filed: 04/10/2003)


General Wesley Clark, the front-runner in the Democratic race for the White House, launched a high-risk attack on American foreign policy yesterday when he said the Bush administration should face an investigation into possible "criminal" conduct in its drive to war.

Gen Clark, who as Nato supreme commander led the war in Kosovo, accused the Bush administration of entering office already determined to attack Iraq, then seizing on the September 11 attacks as justification.He called for an independent review of what he called the "possible manipulation of intelligence" to convince the American people that war with Iraq was necessary.<snip>

In a book due for publication later this month, Gen Clark will accuse the Bush administration of having a five year plan to attack nations across the Muslim world.<snip>

He has argued that America is wrongly ignoring Saudi Arabia and Pakistan as terrorist sponsors and called for the war on al-Qa'eda to be pursued through United Nations resolutions and an international tribunal for prosecuting terrorists.<snip>

6. Clark would know. He was in the loop. That's why I like him.
It's almost impossible to accuse him of partisanship on this.

They'll do it anyway, but it won't stick the way it will to anybody else.

Regardless of how I feel about Clark's stance on the conservative/liberal spectrum, I feel that he's a good man who has seen the evil of Bushco and is willing to stick his neck out to put an end to it.

For that I think he's a hero. Even if I like Dean on the issues better. :)

9. Kudos to him, if he can make it stick. If it's only theater, or it only
produces a whitewash, then pffffft.
