Today's featured article on Wikipedia: Wesley Clark
Edited on Sat Mar-24-07 02:15 PM by ih8thegop
Wesley Clark is a retired four-star general in the U.S. Army. He spent thirty-four years in the Army and the Department of Defense, receiving many military decorations, several honorary knighthoods, and a Presidential Medal of Freedom. Clark was valedictorian of his class at West Point, was awarded a Rhodes Scholarship to Oxford University where he earned a master's degree in Economics, and later graduated from the Command and General Staff College with a master's degree in military science. Clark commanded Operation Allied Force in the Kosovo War during his term as the Supreme Allied Commander Europe of NATO from 1997 to 2000. Clark joined the 2004 race for the Democratic Party presidential nomination as a drafted candidate on September 17, 2003, but withdrew from the primary race on February 11, 2004, in favor of campaigning for the eventual Democratic nominee, John Kerry.

1. If Gore doesn't run and Clark entered the race,
I think Prez Clark would serve America very well! How About Gore/Clark!

2. Silver Star in Vietnam and White House Fellowship
After he graduated from Oxford, he earned a very competitive White House Fellowship and served one year in Washington in government. The White House Fellowships are extremely hard to get and are mainly based on outstanding scholarship and proven leadership skills. The top brains in the country compete every year to be White House Fellows. Every year there are about 1,000 top scholars from throughout the country who compete, with only about 10 or 20 selected. Here's more info about the White House Fellowship that Wes Clark received after his Rhodes Scholarship and Masters from Oxford.
