4 Star General Supports Cindy Sheehan and Protesters

But first, lets go back to March 25th 2003. ....this was during week 1 of  the invasion of Iraq.

All networks were covering the war 24/7. I happened to be watching CNN . During  one of the few breaks from war coverage, Aaron Brown interviewed Michael Moore - he had just won an Oscar for his film "Bowling for Columbine" and had created quite a stir with his anti-Bush/war speech  while excepting his award.

After the Michael Moore interview, Aaron Brown turned to General Wes Clark (former SACEUR and currently the most decorated military officer alive) who was in studio with him that evening in his role at that time as CNN military commentator, and asked him his thoughts on the Moore/Oscar speech bit.

here's part of his reply.............

Bush has really F*ck- Up ~ Clark's article in today's Washington Post -

Bush has really F*ck-up this war

General Clark has an article in todays Washington Post
Before It's too Late

This is the last paragraph

The growing chorus of voices demanding a pullout should seriously alarm the Bush administration, because President Bush and his team are repeating the failure of Vietnam: failing to craft a realistic and effective policy and instead simply demanding that the American people show resolve. Resolve isn't enough to mend a flawed approach -- or to save the lives of our troops. If the administration won't adopt a winning strategy, then the American people will be justified in demanding that it bring our troops home.

General Clark blogs about Iraq today

Thu Aug 25, 2005 at 05:56:12 PM PDT

Many times I have come to catch up on the news here on Dailykos, and have read diaries/remarks from folks who just cannot understand why the General has such a loyal internet following and leads in all of Kos' 2008 Presidential polls.

There are thousands of excellent reasons why so many of us have  stayed loyal to Wes Clark and his "politics" for the past 2+ years but today we have one example of why.  The General communicates with us. When we have important questions, he answers them.

Today at the Clark
Community Network
(aka CCN - the clarkies' community blog since the beginning of the campaign) the General came a-blogging to answer our questions about Iraq.
