Because of him(Clark), 3 million people living
http://www.tennessean.com/elections/2004/archives/04/02/46571816.shtml?Eleme

"His arms around the shoulder of the general who commanded NATO forces during the war in Kosovo, Fitim said: ''Wesley Clark is a really good guy. He was the one who brought peace over there.
''Because of him, 3 million people living there have rights they never had and never dreamed about. … He is like a legend in Kosovo.''
"

I think 3 million is a signifigant number of lives for Clark to save from tyranny and ethnic cleansing. Who's with me?

3. You should see the Albanians here
any time there's an event related to Clark. They just adore him, and, as we saw when Clark visited here, the feelings are mutual. When he saw the little group standing there with the Albanian flag, he charged right over to talk to them, and everyone was beaming so brightly, I'll bet their faces stayed lit for weeks.

They held a reception in his honor on the day that he returned from testifying against Milosevic. They wanted to express their gratitude to him, even though he couldn't be here in person to know about it.

4. This is precisely the reason we need him in the White House!
He cares enough about human life to lay his own life and career on the line for it!

no sale.

Editted to add:

Clark says: Because of me, 3 million people are free from tyranny in Kosovo!

Bush says: Because of me 26 million people are free from tyranny in Iraq...

Same lies, different guys...

11. You've got to be kidding.
There was ethnic cleansing ACTIVELY going on in Kosovo, we tried all diplomatic routes FIRST (there's a concept). If we had done what Shelton and Cohen wanted to do - just sit back and watch - 1.5 million more Albanians would have been slaughtered. We built a REAL coalition of 17 countries that participated both with troops and finances (no, we didn't have to PAY them to be part of the coalition) and we had a PLAN!

Jeez, just talk to a few Albanians to see if perhaps your viewpoint is a bit skewed.

13. someone on this thread has a history of defending Milosevic
and it is often quite entertaining - though sad at the same time.

7. Wake Up America Wes Is Your Man

The more I read about Kerry the more I am for Wesley Clark.
The media is now in a love/hate mode. As soon as he is officially anointed it will be hate/hate mode.

Clark is far more electable in my opinion. And, I pray that he stays in the race. The minute that Clark steps out,Kerry is going to get creamed. They have already started on him in this week's Enquirer.If that is in March, by November he will be mashed potatoes and there will be no one able to step up to the plate.

GO WES GO WES

run for the presidency. I'm glad people in Tenn. are being given the facts about this wonderful human being.
