8. No, he DIDN'T support the war early on...let's debunk the myth once more:
Anyone who's watched Clark respond to questions on this should have this straight by now. He was NOT in favor of the war, and would not have voted for. This is what he would have voted for, so kindly note the difference:

HE WOULD'VE VOTED FOR A RESOLUTION THAT GAVE THE US LEVERAGE WITH THE UN, AND THAT WOULD HAVE ALSO REQUIRED BUSH TO COME BACK TO CONGRESS FOR AUTHORIZATION BEFORE LAUNCHING A WAR.

Do you understand what he's saying? Two things: vote for a resolution that gives you leverage with the UN, and also require Bush to come back to Congress for PERMISSION to go after Iraq. That IS NOT voting in favor of war.

WHY is that so complicated for people to understand? If you don't get what Clark's been saying about the war, then you're either 1. stupid, or 2. willfully misrepresenting what Clark has said.

Jesus, people. It's not that difficult.
