Strange observation

[serryjw]

It just occurred to me that Wes Clark can be Commander in Chief BUT can't be SecDEF?

[bbinacan]

1. Why not?

[graywarrior]

2. Something about the amunt of time between his service

and retirement.

[NJ Democrats]

5. Yes

You have to wait 10 years after retirement to become Sec of Def. if you were in the Army. I don't get why they make that rule but they did.

3. How about a Gore-Clark ticket?

I think it could work.

[serryjw]

4. Gore's work to save this planet

is so much more important than Prez....I doubt he wants it.
I support Wes Clark for the 44th President

[Fridays Child]

6. If he throws in and Gore does not...

...which will probably be the case, then I support him, too. He has the necessary international credibility and military gravitas to restore our standing in the world.

7. Kerry would make a great

SecDEF. I want Wes as Commander in Chief....After * leaves office we will need his year of service to restore our international relationships and fix treaties that * ignored.

Al Gore is going to be a hero when his movie comes out next month. We need him to save us from ourselves

8. I was thinking about this as well, seems good to me. Except

if I were Al Gore I would tell the American people to take a flying leap. He was elected once and we didn't let him take office.

[EC]

9. He can be Sec. of State.. n/t
