Wes Clark "[Bush's] so-called war on terrorism"

[Catch22Dem]

You gotta love this man. Well, you don't gotta, but I certainly do.

This is from an e-mail I got, so I'm posting the whole thing.

----------------------------
One of our Iraq Democratic veterans, Andrew Horne, faces an important primary election for Louisville's 3rd Congressional District on May 16, and I encourage your support. Andrew is an outstanding candidate who faces opponents with deep pockets who can fund their own campaigns.

What's remarkable about Andrew is that he never sought to be a politician. In fact, the Marine Reserve lieutenant colonel didn't consider it until his latest deployment to Iraq. There, he saw such blatant leadership failures by President Bush and his administration -- failures with life-or-death consequences -- that by the time he came back home, Andrew knew he must act.

Andrew rightly says that bad things happen when good people don't speak out. There is too much at stake for any of us to remain silent.

Recently I briefed national political reporters along with Andrew on behalf of the nation's Democrats when President Bush visited Louisville to tout his so-called war on terrorism. Andrew, a seasoned veteran, showed he is thoughtful, well spoken and impassioned about the state of our union. Andrew leads by example and embodies the values that make America so special.

As a Marine commander, a father and a courtroom lawyer, Andrew knows from experience that being a leader is a responsibility, not a privilege. His opponent, Anne Northup on the other hand, acting as a rubber stamp for a reckless administration, fails to represent the people and the needs of her community.

In Congress, Andrew will restore integrity and trust to our government, which is currently known more for its backroom deals with backdoor lobbyists, and late night talk show jokes at our expense, than for honesty and independence.

Andrew will oppose the disgrace of a federal budget -- a budget that goes against our moral priorities, robbing women, children, students and seniors of a necessary safety net while giving oil companies a tax break and no-bid contractors a handout.

Andrew is going to fight to ensure that tax cuts go first to those who need them and those who will put the money back into our economy -- not to big oil and drug companies. Andrew is going to fight to make sure that we invest in our nation's future through public education, especially higher education.

Andrew is going to fight to give all Americans access to quality, affordable health care.

Andrew wants to weigh in the next time Congress debates whether to send our troops into another deadly battle -- especially if this administration takes up another war based on poor intelligence, without a plan and without proper support for our soldiers.

And Andrew will be the kind of representative who can silence those on the far right who continue to question our party's commitment to national security.

Andrew is showing the people of Kentucky's 3rd District that he has the values, the leadership, and the hope to make them proud of his voice in Congress. Let's not let him fight this mission alone!

Sincerely,

Wes Clark

... I'm attacking him for NOT attacking the terrorists." - General Clark, 2003

He also said 9/11 was an excuse for launching an attack on Iraq that they'd already planned. He knows their war on terrorism is a sham that's making the situation worse instead of better.

And I think it's great that he's supporting candidates for elections this year. Go, General!! :patriot:
