W. Clark coming up on CNN NOW :38 after this commercial break

[Gloria]

on Aaron Brown...

[caribmon]

1. I just saw

The one man who certainly can beat Bush.

2. It's been difficult to watch him lately, because he seems to feel...

he needs to hold back. He still gets his shots in, but I think there is much more he wishes to unleash on chimpy. Hopefully, if/when he announces, he'll feel much freer to go on the attack.

4. Why would he need to "hold back"?

He's a private citizen...he has the right to speak.

How ridiculous.

[Unity]

5. I think he is trying to act non-partisan and as a concerned citizen...

not a typical politician on attack. He's talking in as many generalities as he can and being cautious. Trying to remain above it all. This is just my impression, and I hope I'm right and he announces and goes on full bore attack.

3. Still saying he hasn't decided yet!! But I thought he handled the

questions about "miscalculations" and "politicizing Iraq" very well. He didn't shy away at all. He listed a bunch of "miscalculations" , before, during and post-"war"...and then said that decisions about going to war are fundemental aspects of leadership that in a democracy must be adressed.(sic)

He did seem rather "distant"---like he was working hard to keep something close to the vest.....

[Kahuna]

6. I thought he all but let it out that he's going to run. Let examine..

what's going on.

Clark does dozens of appearances where interviewers want to know if he's going to run for president. I don't really think he would waste his time and energy doing all of these appearances unless he was planning to run. There's just no reason to do these shows otherwise.
