I WR Voters be damned, I say now more than ever we need Clark

Look, I like Dean. I think he would make an EXCELLENT president. He's got charisma, charm - hed give us 8 years of peace and prosperity. Times would be good.

But with Sadaam's capture, we are going to need a bit more ammo come November than even Joe Trippi, mastermind that he is, can deliver.

But hear me out on this - right now we are set for the perfect storm. In all honesty, I think Bush *found* Sadaam a bit too early. There are still 11 months until Novemeber - LOTS of things can happen between now and then. Finding Sadaam now will only cement into the peoples mind that Sadaam was not the one orchestrating the attacks against us on the streets.

So who are people going to look to, seeing that Iraq truly is, a quagmire? Will the want Kerry, someone who voted to get us into the mess in the first place? Will they want Dean, who does want to pull us out, but may be seen as weak in this arena?

In the NH debate, Clark made a statement of his past sucesses under Clinton in turning a quagmire into a democracy. Something to the effect of "I did this in Haiti, and I did this in Bosnia."

If Clark can push this message from now until November, it will start slow at first - but come November he will win in a landslide.

1. This is one reason as to why I am a Clark supporter.

he will be able to challenge Bush on national security!

2. Agreed

Clark may very well have an ambiguous position as to the war, but so did Bill Clinton w/ regard to the Persian Gulf War. Clark's military background gives him more lattitude and moral authority than would be shown a well-intentioned politician like Dean.

Capturing Saddam does not change that the environment is being raped just like the future of the common man. It does not change the fact that the war was a preemptive strike that violated international law and made Bu$h a war criminal.

It took only a few minutes to see all the details of Saddam's capture and then it becomes a waste of a busy person's time to watch the media frenzy. Who ever doubted that he would be captured or found dead. Where was he to go?

I am glad they found him now so that it is over. For the media to go on and on is going to be sickening to a lot of people just like it is me. Sure, it is newsworthy, but it is not the media event that it is being made out to be.

Bu$h will have to read a speech. It is just something else to dissect and translate from officialeze into truth.
