I'm not sure with his current polls that Wes Clark even deserves the time to look this stuff up, but:
NBC's TIM RUSSERT: "What do you think of the Bush tax cuts? Would you have voted for them?" CLARK: "Well, I would not have supported them, no." (NBC's "Meet The Press," 6/15/03)
The general's criteria for Supreme Court justices included someone of judicial temperament with 'no ideological axes to grind.' 'I like people that are middle of the road. ... I like Ruth Bader Ginsberg, I like ... Steven Breyer.'" (Marisa Buchanan, MSNBC's Campaign Embeds Weblog, //www.msnbc.com/news/968595.asp#November4, 11/4/03) (That cracks me up - Breyer and Ginsberg are in the middle of the road? Someone give me a car.)
"There's some feeling here that perhaps you've taken actions of the military under your command generally as SACEUR, NATO chief, have taken actions that may be outside of their authority or outside of the mandate that Congress has given you." (Sen. Joe Lieberman [D-CT], Committee On Armed Services, U.S. Senate, Hearing, 6/4/98)
"Why choose the Military Academy instead of Harvard or Yale? Both the universities offered scholarships. 'A very sort of impersonal thing. A southern thing, to be drawn to the concept of service to country . . . something they don't understand much in the Northeast.'" (Gordon Chaplin, "Battalion Commander," The Washington Post Magazine, 5/10/81)
"[T]here was friction between General Clark and myself. And frankly, I think it would be inappropriate for me to comment on his political aspirations. I made a judgment during the time that he was serving as head of NATO, SACEUR, and I felt that the ax, as such, when it fell spoke for itself." (Clinton Defense Secretary William Cohen On CNN's "American Morning," 10/7/03) |
