Excerpt:

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democratic presidential hopeful Wesley Clark on Sunday praised President Bush for spending Thanksgiving with U.S. troops in Iraq but said the surprise trip did not make up for "a failed strategy" there.

The retired four-star general, who has criticized Bush for the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq and its aftermath, told CNN the president did "absolutely the right thing" by sharing his Thanksgiving dinner last Thursday with U.S. soldiers in Baghdad.

"But I'll tell you this ... a visit, a photo op, or whatever it was to Baghdad, does not make up for a failed strategy," he said on CNN's "Late Edition."

Clark added: "What our soldiers really need is not a one-hour or two-hour morale boost visit from the president. They need a strategy for success. That's what this administration hasn't given them."

2. No it isn't

This thread is about Clark's comments on today's Late Edition with Wolf, and the thread you are linking to is a Clark campaign press release from yesterday.

5. I thought Clark's appearance on Wolf Blitzer went great!

He didn't give Wolf his header re Dean and kept to his message about leadership. I loved his comment re wearing the REAL uniform, that was excellent.

I can't figure out Lieberman tho, he sure is going after Clark, he obviously has a bee in his bonnet over something.

6. Maybe Lieberman sees the handwriting on the wall

Probably thought he had a good chance (delusion) that he might become President.
He's mad now!:argh:

7. It doesn't look good on him, he looks petty, imo

a case of sour grapes before the harvest is even in, it seems!

8. delusional,

narcissistic, whiney little bastard. Clark's a real man and a real leader, the kind Joe can only have a wet dream about.

He never was going anywhere and he finally gets it. I didn't miss his sorry ass in the debate last week one bit. I was glad he was not there. Now if he'd just shut the fuck up and go back to CT.
